VIEWER SOFTWARE
To access the setup menu, you need to install the viewer software on your PC or DVR.
The viewer software will install automatically the first time you connect to the camera. If
your internet browser doesn’t install the viewer software, check the security settings or
ActiveX controls and plug-in settings. For additional information on adjusting the settings
of your Internet Explorer browser contact your system administrator or refer to FAQ #1914
at openeye.net If your internet browser asks for permission to install the ActiveX control,
you must allow the ActiveX control to continue the installation.
The first time you connect to a camera, the browser will ask for permission to install the
