Accessing the Camera

To use the AXIS 210/211 on your network, it must first be installed. Please see the AXIS 210/211 Installation Guide, supplied with the product, or available from www.axis.com

The cameras can be used 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 49.

Notes: •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 to view MPEG-4 video streams. If your workstation restricts the use of addi- tional software components, the cameras can be configured to use a Java applet for updating JPEG images. Please see the online help for more information.

•The AXIS 210/211 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.
