8AXIS 223M - Accessing the Camera

Accessing the Camera

Follow the instructions in the AXIS 223M Installation Guide to install the camera.

The AXIS 223M can be accessed with most standard operating systems and browsers. The recommended browser is Internet Explorer for Windows, and Firefox with other operating systems. See also the Technical Specifications, on page 60.

Note:: To view streaming video in Microsoft Internet Explorer, you must set your browser to allow the AXIS Media Control (AMC) to be installed on your computer. The first time an MPEG-4 video stream is accessed AMC also installs an MPEG-4 decoder for viewing the video streams. As a license is required for each instance of the decoder, the product administrator may have disabled the installation. See Viewer settings, on page 28 for more information. If your computer restricts the use of additional software components, the camera can be configured to use a Java applet for updating JPEG images. See the online help for more information.
