Chapter 16

Using the web browser

This chapter describes how you can use the web browser interface to configure
the device, play back recorded video, search through event logs, and control a
PTZ dome camera. You can also specify settings on the web browser interface to
optimize video playback and recording performance when operating in a low or
limited bandwidth environment. Many of the browser configurations are similar to
those done locally.
