You can configure the way the Viewer starts up, for

example, to have it bypass the login screen with the user

name and password (P. 3-3 , P. 3-4) by creating a shortcut

icon that specifies Viewer startup options.

[Viewer.exe] is located in the following folder by

default:

<System drive>:\Program Files\Canon\WebView\NVR

A dialog box asking whether to create a shortcut on

the desktop is displayed.

Note

<System drive> corresponds to the drive containing the system

files of the operating system. If the operating system is installed
on the C drive, the system drive is the C drive.

For example, if you want to create a shortcut icon

specifying the user name and password, as well as the

storage server to connect to, use the following startup

option:

"C:\Program Files\Canon\WebView\NVR30\

Viewer.exe" -group nvr://admin:[email protected]:80
