Open ARC in a Browser

Reach the ARC screens from any computer on your network using arc.local — or the server's IP address.

Published Jun 19, 2026

ARC’s screens run in a normal web browser. There’s nothing to install on staff computers — they just open a web address on your network.

Open ARC

On any computer or tablet connected to the same network as the ARC server, open a browser and go to:

arc.local

That’s it. ARC answers on your local network at that name, so you don’t need to remember an IP address. (Behind the scenes the full address is arc.local:1183, and the short arc.local sends you there automatically.)

Bookmark it on every staff computer

Add arc.local as a bookmark — or set it as the browser’s home page on control-room computers — so staff are one click from ARC.

If arc.local doesn’t open

A few networks block the automatic naming that makes arc.local work. If the address doesn’t load, use the ARC server’s IP address instead:

  1. On the ARC server computer, find its local IP address (for example, 192.168.1.50).
  2. On the other computer, go to http://<that-IP>:1183 — for example, http://192.168.1.50:1183.

Same network, please

ARC is served on your local network only. The computer you’re opening it from has to be on the same network as the ARC server. ARC isn’t reached over the public internet.
