Software installation consists of the installation of software that is necessary to properly view the video from the
camera or to configure the camera itself. The software includes:
z
IP Installer -- a utility for locating devices and configuring network settings on a LAN.
z
Component Installer -- installs all ActiveX components used by the device for things such as video display and
configuration.
z
Macromedia Flash Player -- necessary for displaying some components of the Web UI.
The following are not necessary, but may be used for added convenience:
z
Recording Software -- displaying and recording up to 16 channels simultaneously. Both the MPEG-4 and MJPEG
devices are supported.
z
Xvid -- a MPEG-4 codec. If no other MPEG-4 codecs (ie. DivX, 3ivX, ffdshow, etc.) are installed on your computer,
the Component installer will install this for you.
z
QuickTime or VLC -- though not necessary, this can be used for viewing the MPEG-4 stream without a Web
browser.
Network configuration consists of modifying the network settings for the camera in order to successfully connect to the
device.
