Accessing The Camera; Accessing From A Browser - Axis 210A User Manual

Accessing the Camera

Follow the instructions in the AXIS 210A/211A Installation Guide to install your camera.
The cameras can be accessed with most standard operating systems and browsers. The
recommended browser is Internet Explorer for Windows, and Firefox with other operating
systems. See also the Technical Specifications, on page 57.
Note:
To view streaming video in Microsoft Internet Explorer for Windows, you may set your browser to allow the
AXIS Media Control (AMC) to be installed on your computer. The first time an MPEG-4 video stream is
accessed AMC also installs an MPEG-4 decoder for viewing the video streams. As a license is required for
each instance of the decoder, the product administrator may have disabled the installation. If your com-
puter restricts the use of additional software components, the cameras can be configured to use a Java
applet for updating JPEG images. See the online help

Accessing From a Browser

1. Start a browser (Internet Explorer, Firefox)
2. Enter the IP address or host name

name and password, as set by the administrator.

The layout of the live view in the cameras may be customized to meet specific requirements. Some of the
