I have just recently purchased my first Security camera system. Its a SWANN H.264 4-camera setup. My intended use will be at a remote location and would like the ability to manage the setup screens remotely. I have setup the ability to view the cameras from my iPhone and Mac and that works fine. Since the physical DVR device will be a couple hours away from me most of the time I'd like to be able to manage the administration of the DVR. I was thinking of something like VNC or RDP but my testing has failed I'd welcome any ideas! Thanks Bill

OK with your tips I figured it out. I was unsuccessful in accessing my DVR from my Macbook using safari. I tried it from a PM using IE and it loaded an actives control and ba bing I had access to all the admin controls I wanted. Thanks for your direction! Bill

Apologies - I will do some more trying. I had only used the Mac client or the mobile option (neither of which offered the same capabilities as the console) Haven't connected to the DVR using a web browser. Thanks for the guidance.

Thanks for your reply. I do have remote access to the videos but what I'm trying to accomplish is "console access" so I can adjust settings that are only available from the monitor attached to the DVR. (Motion tuning, schedule, etc) Thanks
