You have been download and install Network Client software from the DVR. But after inputting DVR IP,
username and password, it appears ‘ Can’t open codec TVTTH ’.

system as ordinary user, the modification operation could not be performed. So you need login the system as administrator
when you install the Network Client software.

Answer: If you open the Network Client or playing back the record, the backup speed will be slow.
