Connecting to the Video Server
To access the setup menu, you need to install the viewer software on your PC or DVR. The
viewer software will install automatically the fi rst time you connect to the camera. If your inter-
net browser doesn’t install the viewer software, check the security settings or ActiveX controls
and plug-in settings. If your internet browser asks for permission to install the ActiveX control,
you must allow the ActiveX control to continue the installation.
To enable installation of ActiveX controls on Internet Explorer:
From the Tools menu, click Internet Options.
Click the Security tab and then click the Internet icon.
Click Custom Level and ensure that all ActiveX controls and plug-ins are set to
Enable or Prompt.
To add the camera to your trusted sites:
From the Tools menu, click Internet Options.
Click the Security tab and then click the Trusted Sites icon.
Click Sites.
Type the IP Address of the camera. Ensure that the Require server verifi cation check
box is cleared.
