The INTELLINET NETWORK SOLUTIONS Pro Series Network Camera supports two
connection methods: ActiveX for Microsoft's Internet Explorer users on Windows systems; and
Java for all other Web browsers and operating systems, including MacOS and Linux, and
Windows when using a different Web browser than MS Internet Explorer.
ActiveX offers faster performance and enhanced features, such as video recording via Web
browser and two-way audio. Using ActiveX, however, requires the user to be logged in as a
computer administrator. Not everybody has this ability. Furthermore, ActiveX is often banned
from use in corporate environments for security reasons.
Java represents the universal alternative to ActiveX. It can be used on nearly all common
computer operating systems and with almost any common Web browser. The camera primarily
supports Java by Sun Microsystems, but it is also compatible to Microsoft's Java VM. Sun's
Java can be downloaded from http://www.java.com.
Note: In order to utilize Java, the camera must be operating in JPG Stream mode (see section
6.6 System Configuration).
Before you attempt to connect to the camera with your Web browser, make sure that your setup
meets the following requirements:
a) You have assigned a valid IP address to your camera. The IP address of the camera is in the
same subnet as your computer.
b) You use MS Internet Explorer and have admin authority to install the ActiveX control.
c) You chose to access the camera using Java and have either Java version (SUN or Microsoft)
installed in your computer.
Starting the Web Browser
Start your Web browser, entering your camera’s IP address on the address bar in order to
access the login page. The default IP address is 192.168.1.221.
Login Page
After you open the camera address, you will be connected to the login page of the camera. The
login page looks slightly different, depending on the Web browser you are using, and depending
on the streaming mode the camera is set to (see section 6.6 System Configuration).
Below is an overview of the different login screens and stream modes.
