About the Network Address
All users enter a network address into a Web browser’s address line to access the TMC Web Application.
The network address is the IP address of the TMC turnkey appliance or Virtual Machine system. If you don’t know the IP address, ask the TMC system owner or administrator.

About Your User Name and Password
If you don’t know your user name and password, ask the TMC Web Application administrator. Your user name may be the administrator user name, depending on the administrator’s security philosophy for the TMC Web Application.
Your user name will give you access to one of two possible account types: admin or user.

This message will display unless an optional, third-party security certificate exists for your TMC Web Application. For more information, see About TMC Security
Even without this third-party certificate, TMC systems still secure communication between web browsers and any other TMC systems by encrypting their data with the HTTPS protocol.
Enter your user name and password when prompted.
The TMC Web Application opens.
The Overview tab displays by default. From this home page, users can see all cameras connected to the TMC Web Application.
Passwords are case-sensitive; user names are not.
If this is the first time you have opened the Web Application, you may not see any connected cameras in the Overview tab.
Tabs are discussed in more detail in the next two topics.
How to Log out of the TMC Web Application
Once you log in, the user account remains active until all instances of the Web browser are closed. Closing the tab or window in your Web browser will not log you out if there are any other active browser instances, even in a separate window.
When all Web browser instances are closed, you will be logged out.
