Configuration using a Web browser

4.1

Connecting

A computer with Microsoft Internet Explorer (version 7.0 or higher) can receive live images
from the encoder, control cameras or other peripherals and replay stored video sequences.
Before you can operate the camera via the encoder, you must configure the camera.
The integrated HTTP server in the encoder provides you with the option to configure the unit
over the network with a Web browser. This option is an alternative to configuration using the
Configuration Manager application (version 4.21 or higher) and is considerably richer in
function and more convenient than configuration using the terminal program.
