Nx Server Web Admin

What is the Nx Witness Server Web Admin Interface?

The Nx Server Web Admin interface provides a simple and convenient way for System operators and administrators to view live or recorded video and configure Nx Server and System settings via a web browser.

How to access Web Admin settings

   Example: admin and TopSecretPassword12345
