AXIS 225FD - Accessing the Camera

Accessing the Camera

Follow the instructions in the AXIS 225FD Installation Guide to install the camera.

The camera can be accessed 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 42.

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 page 20 for more information. If your workstation restricts the use of additional software components, the camera can be config- ured to use a Java applet for updating JPEG images. See the online help for more information.

Access From a Browser

1.Start a browser (e.g. Internet Explorer, Mozilla)

2.Enter the IP address or host name of the camera in the Location/Address field of your browser.
