AXIS 207MW - Accessing the Camera
Accessing the Camera
Before accessing the camera it must be installed. Please see the installation guide supplied
with the product.
The camera can be used with most standard operating systems and browsers. The
recommended browser is Microsoft Internet Explorer with Windows, Safari with Macintosh
and Mozilla with other operating systems.
Notes: • To view streaming video in Microsoft Internet Explorer, set your browser to allow ActiveX controls and
allow the AXIS Media Control (AMC) to be installed on your workstation.
• QuickTime
TM
and Real Player
TM
are also supported for viewing streaming MPEG-4 video and audio.
• If your workstation restricts the use of additional software components, the camera can be configured to
use a Java applet for viewing motion JPEG.
• The AXIS 207MW includes one (1) decoder license for viewing MPEG-4 video streams. This is automatically
installed with AMC. The administrator can disable the installation of the MPEG-4 decoder, to prevent
unlicensed copies being installed.
