The video streaming is transmitted by the ActiveX controller. If ActiveX controller isn’t installed
correctly you will see no video image. There are two ways to resolve this problem:
1) Re-install “IP Camera Tool” and activeX control（recommended） (Figure 2.10~Figure 2.12)
2) Download ActiveX controller and set the security setting of IE: IE browserÆToolÆInternet
ProperÆSecurityÆCustom LevelÆActiveX control and Plug-ins. The first three options should
be set to be “Enable”, The ActiveX programs read by the computer will be stored. As follows:
Enable: Download unsigned ActiveX controls
Enable: Initialize and script ActiveX controls not marked as safe
Enable: Run ActiveX controls and plug-ins

If you allow the activeX to run but still cannot see live video and a red cross in the center of the
video. There is a yellow light in the device status. )
Change another port number. Do not use port 80. Use port 85, 8005.etc.
