Accessing the Camera
Before accessing the camera it must be installed. Please see the installation guide supplied
with your 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 216FD/FD-V/MFD/MFD-V 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.
