Frequently Asked Questions
Can I view video using a Macintosh or Netscape Navigator?
The Camera is designed for computers running a Windows operating system and Internet Explorer 5.5 or higher.
You cannot view video on a Macintosh. If you only have Netscape, you can view video using the Viewer &
Recorder Utility. See “Chapter 6: Installing and Using the
Utility.”
Can I directly connect the Camera to wired and wireless networks at the same time?
No. Before powering on the Camera, you should decide if you want to connect the Camera to a wireless network via an access point or to a wired network. If your wireless and wired networks are bridged, then you can access the Camera from any networked computer, but the Camera must be directly connected to only one of the networks.
To connect the Camera to a wireless network, power on the Camera with no network cable attached. The Camera will be ready for use when the Ready and Wireless LEDs are lit continuously.
To connect the Camera to a wired network, connect the network cable to the Camera, and then power it on. The
Camera will be ready for use when the Ready and LAN LEDs are lit continuously.
Can I install the Camera outdoors?
No, the Camera was not designed for outdoors usage.
Can I turn off the LCD screen on the Camera?
No, the LCD screen will always display the Camera’s IP address.
I’ve recorded video for a few hours. Why do I see multiple files saved on my computer?
The recording function saves video in chunks; each chunk is a maximum of one hour in duration. For example, if you have recorded five continuous hours, then you will see five files saved on your computer. This keeps files from getting too large.
