Installing the AXIS 2460 Network DVR

Before you begin the installation of your AXIS 2460 Network DVR, please read the following notice concerning operating systems and browsers:

Important!

The AXIS 2460 was developed for use with Microsoft Internet Explorer (5.0 or higher) running on Win- dows 98/ME/XP/NT or 2000. This is because the viewing of live images and the built-in Video Player both require an ActiveX control for their function, which is currently only supported by Internet Explorer.

Other browsers and other operating systems can be used for installing the unit and for administration purposes, but live images and the Video Player will not function correctly.
