Manual Access and Initial Device Set-Up
For EasyIP installations, you will need to start by completing the initial set-up for the device that manages
the cameras. Then you can use the device to access the cameras' web interfaces.
For manual access and initial device set-up, the general process is:
1. Discover the device's IP address and access its web interface.
2. Complete the initial device set-up.
3. Complete the initial system administration tasks.
Initial Access to the Web Interface
Before the product is configured, HTTP access is disabled.
This is also true after restoring factory
defaults.
The Vaddio Deployment Tool and the Vaddio Device Controller use HTTPS.
If you browse to the web interface manually, you may encounter this message:
Switch to HTTPS if you see this message.
Expect a security warning from your browser the first time you access the device's web interface.
Different browsers will respond with different messages and options. Your browser will probably present a
message indicating one of these things:
n
The connection is not private
n
The site is not secure
n
The site is not trusted
n
The site poses a security threat
This is because the certificate (the product’s website security credential) is self-signed rather than being
issued by an external certificate authority.
The HTTPS connection is secure and traffic is encrypted,
however.
To proceed to the product’s web interface,
you will need to make the selections that your browser’s
security message discourages.
The security warning page may present an option to learn more, view
details, or go to the “Advanced” page. When you select the applicable option, your browser provides a
button or link to continue to the IP address you entered, with a statement that it may be unsafe. Select this
option.
Your HTTPS connection is safe.
After you have accessed the product’s web interface once, your browser remembers its IP address and will
not present the security message again.
