How do I access the local software?
Log in to the Triton ULTRA's local web interface by entering its IP address in your browser. The default credentials are:
- Username: admin
- Password: 111111 (or Triton0520! on some devices)
If you don't know the sensor's IP address, use the Triton Device Manager to discover it (see Section 2 below).
1. Installation and Device Placement
Before configuring the software, make sure the sensor is physically installed correctly. See the full placement guide for recommended mounting height, coverage area, and positioning best practices: Triton ULTRA Installation/Device Placement Guide
2. Triton Device Manager Setup
The Device Manager is a desktop tool used to discover, manage, and configure sensors on your network. Use version 6.0 or later.
- Run Auto Scan to discover devices on your network.
- If devices show "Auth Failed": Set the Device Manager password to Triton0520! (or 111111 if that's the sensor password).
- If "IP Failed" appears: Make sure your computer and the device are on the same subnet.
