Access the Camera
Now that the camera and the PC are both having their unique IP addresses and are under the
same network segment, it is possible to use the Web browser of the PC to access the camera.
You can use
Microsoft Internet Explorer
to access the camera
When using Internet Explorer browser, the ActiveX control for video stream management will be
downloaded from the camera directly
– the user just has to accept the use of such control when
prompted so. No other third party utilities are required to be installed in such case.
NOTE:
If Windows does not prompt you to install ActiveX, follow these steps to turn off
UAC
:
Click the
Start
button, and then go to
Control Panel
. In the search box, type
UAC
, then click
Change User Acount Control Settings
. Move the slider to

position, and then click
OK
. After UAC is turned off, log in again.
The following examples in this manual are based on Internet Explorer browser in order to
cover all functions of the camera.
Assuming that the camera
’s IP address is
192.168.0.100
, you can access it by opening the Web
browser and typing the following address into Web browser
’s address bar:
http://192.168.0.100
Upon successful connection to the camera, the user interface called
Web Configurator
would
appear together with the login page. The HTTP port number was not added behind the IP
address since the default HTTP port of the camera is 80, which can be omitted from the address
for convenience.
