3.OPERATION

This section looks at accessing the NetCam2’s homepage and monitoring real- time images. The NetCam2’s own web pages are accessed through one of the recommended Web browsers.

3.1Starting Web browser

•Start the browser and enter the NetCam2 IP address: http://<NetCam2 IP address>/

•Example – http://200.243.232.178/

Note: NetCam2 simultaneously supports up to 100 users. Additional users will receive the message ‘Server is full’.

3.2Installing NetCam2 Plug-in

The Plug-in and Active-X Control (licensed by WebGate Inc. and approved by Verisign) are required to enable a browser to read NetCam2’s image file format.

3.2.1Netscape Users

To view images transferred from a NetCam2, install the NetCam2 Plug-in. When NetCam2 is connected for the first time (or an old version of Plug-in is present) it is necessary to download the Plug-in.

•The Plug-in Download screen is accessible from the various viewers and log- in screens by clicking on 'Plug-in'.

•In the Plug-in Download screen, click on ‘Download Plug-In Now’.

•Then click ‘Grant’ and ‘Install’ buttons respectively when prompted.

3.2.2Microsoft Explorer Users

Active-X Control is prepared for MS Explorer Users. It is installed as soon as NetCam2 is connected (by clicking ‘Yes’ when prompted for Active-X installation). If the NetCam2 Control file is not installed, repeat the installation procedure. If the file is already installed but an image is not seen, remove the file and re-install it. If images are not visible, check if the Active-X Control file is installed correctly in the C:\Windows\Download Program Files directory.
