same network segment, it is possible to use the Web browser of the PC to access the camera.

You can use any of the browsers to access the camera, however, the full functionality is

provided only for Microsoft Internet Explorer.

* When using non-Internet Explorer browsers, free third-party software plug-ins must be installed

to the PC first to be able to get the live video feed from the camera. Check the firmware version of

the camera to determine which plug-in is necessary:

Firmware Version

Required Plug-In

A1D-500-V6.04.xx-AC or older

Basic VLC Media Player (http://www.videolan.org)

A1D-500-V6.05.xx-AC or newer

QuickTime (http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/)

The camera firmware version can be found on the FW Version column of the IP utility or access

the Setup page of the Web Configurator (see page 33).

Disclaimer Notice: The camera manufacturer does not guarantee the compatibility of its cameras

with VLC player or QuickTime – since these are third party softwares. The third party has the right

to modify their utility any time which might affect the compatibility. In such cases, please use

Internet Explorer browser instead.

When using Internet Explorer browser, the ActiveX control for video stream management will be

downloaded from the camera directly – the user just has to accept the use of such control when

prompted so. No other third party utilities are required to be installed in such case.
