Viewing Live Video - Cisco 7000 Series Configuration Manual

Viewing Live Video

After you install and set up the Cisco Video Surveillance IP Camera, you can connect to the IP camera
through Internet Explorer and access the Camera Video & Control window to view live video from the
IP camera.
The Camera Video & Control window also provides for controlling the video display, configuring preset
positions, and controlling certain IP camera functions. Available controls depend on the privilege level
of the user.
To view live video, log in to the IP camera and click View Video in the IP camera Main window menu
bar. The Camera Video & Control window appears. This window displays live video from the camera
and lets you control a variety of camera and display functions.
The controls that you see in the Camera Video & Control window depend on your IP camera privilege
level and the configuration settings for the IP camera. Users with the Administrator privilege can access
all controls. Users with the Viewer privilege do not have access to the following controls:
