Common Problems and Solutions

1.I can’t view the Camera’s video using Internet Explorer.

Make sure the OCX plug-in was correctly installed. If you’re not sure, re-install the plug-in by following these instructions:

On the Welcome screen of the Camera’s Web-based Utility, click the View Video button.

A screen mentioning a security warning about an OCX plug-in will appear. Click the Yes button to allow the plug-in to be installed.

You should then be able to view the Camera’s streaming video.

If you still cannot view the video, make sure you have the rights to install the plug-in in your PC’s Internet

Explorer. If not, log into your computer as an administrator and install the plug-in.

Then you can check if the OCX plug-in has been installed. Follow these instructions:

From Internet Explorer, go to Tools and Internet Options.

On the General screen, click Settings under Temporary Internet files.

Click View Objects. You should see a file named NetCamPlayerWeb Control installed.

2.The OCX plug-in is installed in Internet Explorer, but I cannot view any video.

Make sure you have Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.5 or higher installed. Then delete the OCX plug-in by following these instructions:

From Internet Explorer, go to Tools and Internet Options.

On the General screen, click Settings under Temporary Internet files.

Click View Objects.

You should see a file named NetCamPlayerWeb Control installed. Delete this file from the list.

The next time you click View Video from the web browser, you will be prompted to re-install the OCX plug- in.

3.When powering on the Camera, I can’t immediately access the Camera from my computer. Make sure the Camera’s LED is continuously lit. When it is flashing, the Camera is initializing.
