Accessing the Camera

Follow the instructions in the AXIS 221 Installation Guide to install the camera. The camera can be accessed with most standard operating systems and browsers. The recommended browser is Internet Explorer with Windows, and Mozilla with other operating systems. See also the Technical Specifications, on page 48.

Note: To view streaming video in Microsoft Internet Explorer, you must set your browser to allow ActiveX controls and allow the AXIS Media Control (AMC) to be installed on your workstation. AMC is required for MPEG-4. If your workstation restricts the use of additional software components, the camera can be configured to use a Java applet for updating JPEG images. Please see the online help for more information.
