Accessing the Video Server

This chapter explains how to access the video server through web browsers, RTSP players, 3GPP-compatible mobile devices, and VIVOTEK recording software.

Using Web Browsers

Use Installation Wizard 2 (IW2) to access to the video servers on the LAN.

If your network environment is not a LAN, follow these steps to access the Netwotk Camera:

1.Launch your web browser (e.g., Microsoft® Internet Explorer or Mozilla Firefox).

2.Enter the IP address of the video server in the address field. Press Enter.

3.The live video will be displayed in your web browser.

4.If it is the first time installing the VIVOTEK video server, an information bar will pop up as shown below. Follow the instructions to install the required plug-ins on your computer.

NOTE:

►By default, the video server is not password-protected. To prevent unauthorized access, it is highly recommended to set a password for the video server. For more information about how to enable password protection, please refer to Security on page 82.

►If you see a dialog box indicating that your security

settings prohibit running ActiveX® Controls, please enable the ActiveX® Controls for your browser.
