Accessing DSS-1000 Remotely
In most cases, it is recommended to perform the initial configurations, before DSS-1000 is even
mounted to its location, using local access. This is because of the limitation of DSS-1000 to
decode some video resolution and compression. If monitoring will be mainly done on a local
display, it is recommended to directly test and view the camera live view on the local display to
ensure the video stream properties are supported for local display. Note that streams higher than 2
megapixels (MP) or encoder other than H.264 can be properly viewed on a remote client (i.e. Web
Client) but cannot be viewed on the local display. After the initial configurations and installation,
further management or advanced security settings may be done through remote access by a client
computer with web browser (supports Internet Explorer only).
How to Access DSS-1000?
