Accessing the Camera

The network camera must be installed first before you can access it. To install the camera please see the installation guide supplied with the product.

The camera can be used with most operating systems and browsers. The recommended browser is Microsoft Internet Explorer with Windows, Safari with Macintosh and Mozilla with other operating systems.

Notes: • To view streaming video in Microsoft Internet Explorer, set your browser to allow ActiveX controls and allow the AXIS Media Control (“AXIS Media Control” (page -7))to be installed on your computer.

•QuickTimeTM and Real PlayerTM are also supported for viewing streaming MPEG-4 video and audio.

•If your computer restricts the use of additional software components, it is also possible to use the Firefox browser, which does not require extra components.

•The AXIS 209FD/FD-R/FD-R M12 includes one (1) decoder license for viewing MPEG-4 video streams. This is automatically installed with AMC. The administrator can disable the installation of the MPEG-4 decoder, to prevent unlicensed copies from being installed. Further licenses are available from your Axis dealer.
