7 Calling up the Camera via a
Computer
To call up the user interface of the camera,
enter its IP address in the address bar of
the program Windows Internet Explorer (IE,
version 6 or higher) . The IP addresses of the
computer and of the camera must be in the
same subnet . The number of simultaneous
accesses to the camera is limited to 6 .
When the camera is called up, the
log-in window will appear . Select the lan-
guage for the user interface . The descrip-
tion below refers to English . Then enter
the user name and the password (default
setting for both: admin) . Individual log-in
data can be defined later in the camera
settings .
Important: To prevent unauthorized access, change
at least the password .
The Flash Player extension from Adobe
provided on many computers (also availa-
ble on the CD provided) will allow a basic
display of the camera image . Faster image
transmission and availability of all func-
tions, however, requires installation of the
ActiveX extensions . These extensions will
be loaded from the camera when the Flash /
ActiveX line g (
☞
fig . 6) is clicked for the
first time . If necessary, reduce the security
settings of the IE accordingly to allow the
installation process . Save the installation file
"webPlugins .exe" to the computer, close
the IE and execute the file .
