NVR configuration
To be able to configure the FortiRecorder NVR appliance, you must connect to its management
web UI or CLI console. This document mainly describes the web UI usage.
Connecting to FortiRecorder web UI
You can connect to the web UI using its default settings. (By default, HTTPS access to the
web UI is enabled.)
Requirements
• a computer with an RJ-45 Ethernet network port
• a crossover Ethernet cable
• a web browser. For supported web browsers, see the release notes.
• If you are running FortiRecorder version 2.3 and older firmware, Apple QuickTime 7.1 or
greater plug-in is required for video display.
Note that starting from QuickTime 7.7.9,
QuickTime typical install does not install the web plugin by default. You have to use
custom install and select the web plugin.
Starting from FortiRecorder version 2.4, HTML5 is supported. On most platforms, QuickTime
plugin is not required anymore. For details, see the FortiRecorder version 2.4 release notes.
