Note: To view streaming video in Microsoft Internet Explorer, set your web browser to allow the installation of AXIS Media Control (AMC) on your computer. AMC is required to enable audio in the AXIS 243SA. AMC also provides an MPEG-4 decoder for viewing MPEG-4 video streams. This decoder is installed the first time an MPEG-4 video stream is accessed. Please note that the product administrator may have disabled the instal- lation of the decoder, as a license is required for each instance. See page 30 for more information.

If your workstation restricts the use of additional software components, the AXIS 243SA can be configured to use a Java applet for updating JPEG images. Please see the online help for more information.
