In this chapter we will introduce you to the web-interface of the device.
We will not explain on how to configure and connect to the device remotely.
Please use any of our technical tutorials on configuration and remote connection options
if you wish to learn how to set and connect to the system.
Ossia devices are currently supported by Internet Explorer and Firefox web-browsers
for Windows PC and Safari web-browser for MAC OS.
Input the device IP to the address line and connect to the device.
When you access the NVR through web browser for the first time, you will need to download and install the web-client components.
The first interface you will meet is the login page.
You can choose the display language on the top right corner of this page.
After selecting the language, log into the system using any of the available user names and passwords
Most of the interfaces are very similar to the local interface
We will direct you to the relevant chapters that relate to the remote interface as we go through.
