Finding Attach ID


The Attach ID

The Attach ID is a 16-digit number composed of upper case letters and numbers in groups of four (for example, 55A5-55A5-55A5-55A5).  When adding an Eagle Eye Bridge/CMVR to an Eagle Eye VMS Account, the Attach ID will be required.  When you receive an Eagle Eye Bridge/CMVR, the Attach ID will be included with the unit.  

Log in with an HDMI Monitor and Keyboard

      1.  Plug in an HDMI monitor and keyboard to your bridge.  
      2. Log in to the Eagle Eye Bridge/CMVR using the user name and password provided by Eagle Eye.   
The local login credentials are different than the credentials used to log in to the Eagle Eye Cloud VMS.  If you do not know how to log in locally to the bridge, please contact Technical Support with your Support PIN
