7.1 Remote Viewing Using a Web Browser
The GV-VMS has a built-in a WebCam server that allows you to remotely view and manage the
camera images from the GV-VMS using Internet Explorer, Google Chrome, Apple Safari, or Mozilla
Firefox.
Note:
1. For Internet connection, the GV-VMS must have an IP address or domain name from ISP. If the
IP address is dynamic, you may use the DDNS service to direct changing IP addresses to the
GV-VMS. For the service, see Dynamic DNS in Chapter 9.
2. Make sure the remote PC is going to access the GV-VMS meets the minimum system
requirements mentioned above.
3. If a router or firewall is installed with the GV-VMS server, ensure the following communication
ports required by WebCam Server are open: Command Port (4550), Data Port (5550), Audio
Port (6550) and HTTP Port (80).
1. To enable the WebCam Server on GV-VMS, click Home
, click Toolbar , click Network
and click WebCam Server. The Server Setup dialog box appears. You can click OK to close
the dialog box for now and modify the default configurations later.
2. On any remote computer, open a Web browser and type the IP address or domain name of the
GV-VMS. This dialog box appears.

Note: If the default HTTP port 80 has been changed, type a colon and the port number after the IP
address, for example, Http://192.168.3.199:81/.
