Connect to your deployment using XProtect Web Client

The XProtect Essential+ CloudFormation lets you access video using the XProtect Web Client. No additional configuration through the VPC is needed. Before you start, you need to:

• Get the address of the EC2 instance.

• Get the EC2 Instance ID.

• (HTTPS connection only) Install certificates. See Secure the communication between XProtect servers and clients.

To connect to your XProtect on AWS installation:

1. In the address bar of your browser, enter http://<EC2 instance address>:8081. if you want to use a standard HTTP connection or https://<EC2 instance address>:8082. to use a secure HTTPS connection.

2. Log in with your user name and password. The CloudFormation template creates a predefined basic user with the following credentials:

   • User name: ec2-user

   • Password: AWS followed by the EC2 Instance ID. Example: AWSi-1a2b3f44g6816v36f

3. Select Log in.

You are now connected to your AWS deployment through XProtect Web Client.

For more information, see the XProtect Web Client user manual.

Make sure you have added your IP address on the inbound rules list of the security group that is associated with the instance.
