Server IP Address Open an Internet Explorer browser and enter the IP address or DNS of the

server followed by the connecting port.

Remote Live Viewer This feature allows you to watch real-time video and functions identical to

the Remove Live Viewer software. For additional details on using the feature, refer to

3.45 Remote

Live Viewer Console on Pg. 99

.

Remote Playback This feature allows you to playback recorded video and functions identical

to the Playback software. For additional details on using the feature, refer to

3.20 Playback

Configuration on Pg. 59

.

Both the Remote Live Viewer and Remote Playback software require installation of an ActiveX

control. Currently Internet Explorer is the only web browser that supports Active X, so you will not

be able to use any alternative browsers.

Once you have selected Remote Live Viewer or Remote Playback, the ActiveX control for that

feature will automatically be installed, and the feature will launch.

Note Depending on your Internet Explorer Security Settings, you may need

to temporarily enable installation of unsigned ActiveX controls.

the remote user was sitting directly in front of it.
