Accessing the Camera
Before accessing the camera it must be installed. Please see the installation guide supplied
with the product.
The camera can be used with most standard operating systems and browsers. The
recommended browser is Microsoft Internet Explorer with Windows, Safari with Macintosh
and Mozilla with other operating systems.
Notes: • To view streaming video in Microsoft Internet Explorer, set your browser to allow ActiveX controls and
allow the AXIS Media Control (AMC) to be installed on your workstation.
• If your workstation restricts the use of additional software components, the camera can be configured to
use a Java applet for viewing motion JPEG.
