Using the web browser
This chapter describes how you can use the web browser interface to configure
the device, play back recorded video, search through event logs, and control a
PTZ dome camera. You can also specify settings on the web browser interface to
optimize video playback and recording performance when operating in a low or
limited bandwidth environment. Many of the browser configurations are similar to
those done locally.
Windows Vista and 7 users
Internet Explorer for Windows Vista and Windows 7 operating systems have
increased security measures to protect your PC from any malicious software
