Embedded DVR Server Preparation
Before connecting a Client, you must prepare the eDVR Server. Make sure the eDVR is
working properly by itself before proceeding.
Refer to your Embedded DVR Server User Manual for details on finishing
this checklist:
1. Create a User with Remote capability on the eDVR Server. Note the User(s) and
Password(s) available for remote connection. The default username is admin ,
password is 12345 for a Hikvision Embedded Device.
2. Enable Remote Client Services. (Default is 'on'.)
3. Set the TCP/IP configuration and connect the eDVR to the network that your Client
workstation will be on. Note the IP address .
