Accessing the Camera

Before accessing the camera it must be installed. Please see the installation guide supplied with the product.

The camera can be used with most standard 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 (AMC) to be installed on your workstation.

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

•If your workstation restricts the use of additional software components, it is also possible to use the Mozilla or Firefox browsers, neither of which 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 being installed. Further licenses are available from your Axis dealer.
