Installing the Plug-in Application
If you access the VPort for the first time via a browser that supports server push (e.g., Netscape),
the video images will be displayed directly. If you are using Windows’ Internet Explorer as your
browser, you will be asked to install a new plug-in application provided by the VPort. This plug-in
application has been registered for certification, and is used to display video images via Internet
Explorer. Click on
Yes
to install the plug-in application. If your browser does not allow the user to
install the plug-in, change the security option to a lower level, or contact your network supervisor
for assistance.
