VidiReports embeds a web server, used during installation and monitoring phases named Control Center.
There are two ways to access the Control Center :
- You can right-click on the VidiReports icon in your system tray (next to time & date) and select "Control Center" if you are using VidiReports 7
- You can type the address directly in your browser (we recommend Chrome)
Please be aware that you will see a warning from your browser explaining that the connection is not secure - this is because we use a self-signed certificate. You can safely disregard this message and proceed to the Control Center.
This web control interface is accessible at the following URL:
- For VidiReports 7
- Prefered URL under Windows or Linux: https://localhost:9443/.
Note this is a secured connection. Chrome might display a security message when connecting over HTTPS. We use indeed a self-signed certificate. That is perfectly normal and even common among various devices with embedded web server (NAS, etc), as long as they provide an SSL version. You can safely disregard the "not secure" message and trust us - the access is to a local file. - Alternative, unsecured connection http://localhost:9080 (for some browsers such as Firefox)
- Prefered URL under Windows or Linux: https://localhost:9443/.
The first time you'll launch that webserver, you'll be prompted for a login and password.
The default login is: admin
The default password is: secret
