Accessing the Network Camera

This chapter explains how to access the Network Camera through web browsers, RTSP players, 

3GPP-compatible mobile devices, and LevelOne recording software.

Using Web Browsers

Use Installation Wizard 2 (IW2) to access to the Network Cameras installed on the LAN. 

If your network environment is not the LAN, follow these steps to access the Network Camera: 

1. Launch your web browser (eg. Microsoft

®

 Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox, or Netscape).

2. Enter the IP address of the Network Camera in the address field. Press 

Enter

. 

3. The live video will be displayed in your web browser.

4. If this is the first time installing the LevelOne network camera, an information bar will pop up 

as shown below. Follow the instructions to install the required plug-in on your computer.

NOTE

► For Mozilla Firefox or Netscape users, your browser will use Quick Time to stream the live 

video. If you do not have Quick Time on your computer, please install it first, then launch the 

web browser.
