Viewing Live Video

This Chapter provides basic information about viewing live video.

Overview

After finishing setup via the Windows-based Wizard, all LAN users can view live video using Internet Explorer on Windows.

This Chapter has details of viewing live video using Internet Explorer. But many other powerful features and options are available:

To view multiple cameras simultaneously, or record video (either interactively or by schedule), you should install the Windows Viewing/Recording utility. Refer to Chapter 6 - Windows Monitor/Playback/IP Recorder Utility for details on installing and using this program.

The camera administrator can also adjust the Video Stream, and restrict access to the video stream to known users by requiring viewers to supply a username and password. See Chapter 4 - Advanced Viewing Setup for details.

To make Live Video from the camera available via the Internet, your Internet Gateway or Router must be configured correctly. See Making Video available from the Internet in Chapter 4 - Advanced Viewing Setup for details.
