4 Configuration using a Web browser
4.1 Connecting
A computer with Microsoft Internet Explorer (version 7.0 or higher) can receive live images
from the encoder, control cameras or other peripherals and replay stored video sequences.
Before you can operate the camera via the encoder, you must configure the camera.
The integrated HTTP server in the encoder provides you with the option to configure the unit
over the network with a Web browser. This option is an alternative to configuration using the
Configuration Manager application (version 4.21 or higher) and is considerably richer in
function and more convenient than configuration using the terminal program.
4.1.1 System Requirements
– Computer with Windows XP or Windows 7 operating system
– Network access (Intranet or Internet)
– Microsoft Internet Explorer (version 7.0 or higher)
– Screen resolution at least 1,024 × 768 pixels
– 16- or 32-bit color depth
– Installed Java Virtual Machine (JVM)
4.1.2 Additional Operational Requirements
– Instead of Microsoft Internet Explorer:
Receiver software (such as Bosch Video Management System (version 3.0 or higher)) OR
H.264-compatible hardware decoder from Bosch Security Systems (such as VIP XD HD)
as a receiver and connected video monitor
– For playing back recordings: connection to storage medium [a different encoder from the
one built-in to the power supply enclosure]
4.1.3 Installing MPEG ActiveX
Suitable MPEG ActiveX software must be installed on the computer to allow the live video
images to be played back. If necessary, you can install the program from the product CD
supplied.
1. Insert the product CD into the computer's CD-ROM drive. If the CD does not start
automatically, open the root directory of the CD in Windows Explorer and double-click
MPEGAx.exe.
2. Follow the on-screen instructions.
4.1.4 Establishing the Connection
Before you can operate the encoder within your network, it must have a valid IP address for
your network and a compatible subnet mask.
The following default address is preset at the factory: 192.168.0.1
1. Start the Web browser.
2. Enter the IP address of the encoder as the URL.
NOTICE!
Also note the information in the System Requirements document on the product CD
supplied. If necessary, you can install the required programs and controls from the product
CD supplied.
The Web browser must be configured to enable Cookies to be set from the IP address of the
unit.
In Windows 7, deactivate protected mode on the Security tab under Internet Options.
You can find notes on using Microsoft Internet Explorer in the online Help in Internet Explorer.
