Computer Access Setup Amcrest IP Config Software method
36
The following section will cover both means of access (local and remote). Keep in mind that any
user can have both local and remote access simultaneously if they so choose.
Before accessing your NVR through a web browser, the following two steps must be
completed:
1. You must access the NVR’s web interface with its IP address.
2. You must install the Amcrest web browser plugin.
An IP address is just an identifier given to any devices that connect to a network. People use
names, but internet-connected devices use a set of numbers called an IP address to talk to each
other. Once you have the IP address, your computer will be able to find and communicate with
your NVR.
A browser plugin is just like a translator. Using your NVR by itself, without a computer (the built-
in interface featured in previous parts of this guide) is different than using it on your computer. By
using the NVR on your computer through a web browser, you need to introduce a new piece of
software that allows your computer to understand the language that the NVR speaks in a way
that a computer can understand. That’s what the browser plugin is for.
There are 2 ways to access the NVR’s web interface: (1) Amcrest IP Config Software method
and the built-in interface method.
