Overview

Now that users can access a dome's programming menus over a network, you need to understand what is
different about using a computer versus a keypad, when is logging in necessary, and how are multiple users
handled. See the following sections.

Computer versus keypad access

From a computer, you can use the web-based version of the graphical programming interface, or from a
keypad, you can use the analog graphic menu version on a security monitor. Both step through the same
programming menus. Both record changes instantly.

When is logging on necessary

If passcodes were turned on (that is, specified) during installation or later, access to the programming interface
will be passcode-protected and you will have to log on to the dome to program it. Otherwise, you will be taken
directly to the main programming page from the web browser or keypad without the need to enter a passcode.
The passcodes control who has access to the features of your dome. See

Multiple users

Multiple users can access the programming menus from different locations (computers and/or keypads) and the
dome will process programming changes in the order they are received. Any conflicting changes will be
responded to with an error message.

Using a computer

When you are using a computer to access the dome's graphical programming interface, you will be using a web
browser. SymNav cannot access the programming menus. You can access the programming menus and video
using Internet Explorer 6.0, or higher. The browser cannot control the camera unless Java
computer, however. If you do not already have Java installed on your computer, go to
download it now.
To access the programming interface using a web browser:
1. At the computer's desktop, double-click the web browser icon.
2. Type the camera's IP address into the address field in the form of http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
(where xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx is the IP address of your camera). The default IP address will be provided by
the installer.
The video and control screen will appear (Figure 6 on page 11).
