Smart Setup - P2P

The easiest way to configure your recorder for remote viewing is to use the P2P feature. This can be done after you have configured the Local Connection Settings.

 

P2P allows access to the recorder without the need for port forwarding or DDNS. P2P uses a server to make the initial connection between the recorder and the software or mobile app. Once connected the server is not used. When connecting with P2P the P2P ID is entered into the Zip Vision PC client software or mobile app. As you can not enter the P2P ID into a web browse P2P cannot be used with internet explorer.

 

When adding a device in the Zip Vision mobile app you are given the option to either scan the QR code or enter the P2P ID manually.

 

When adding a device in the Zip Vision PC software you will need to enter the P2P ID manually.

 

The P2P ID address and QR code can be found in the Mobile Settings section of the Startup Wizard or from the Info screen in the Live View menu (shown below).
