8 AXIS 223M - Accessing the Camera
Accessing the Camera
Follow the instructions in the AXIS 223M Installation Guide to install the camera.
The AXIS 223M can be accessed with most standard operating systems and browsers. The
recommended browser is Internet Explorer for Windows, and Firefox with other operating
systems. See also the Technical Specifications, on page 60.
Note::
To view streaming video in Microsoft Internet Explorer, you must set your browser to allow the AXIS Media
Control (AMC) to be installed on your computer. The first time an MPEG-4 video stream is accessed AMC
also installs an MPEG-4 decoder for viewing the video streams. As a license is required for each instance of
the decoder, the product administrator may have disabled the installation. See Viewer settings, on page 28
for more information. If your computer restricts the use of additional software components, the camera can
be configured to use a Java applet for updating JPEG images. See the online help for more information.
Access from a browser
1. Start a browser (Internet Explorer, Firefox)
2. Enter the IP address or host name
of the camera in the
Location/Address field of your
browser.
3. If this is the first time the camera is
accessed, see Setting the root password, on page 9. Otherwise enter your user
name and password, as set by the administrator.
4. The camera’s Live View page is now displayed in your browser.
Note:
The layout of the live view page in
the camera may have been custom-
ized to meet specific requirements.
Consequently, some of the examples
and functions featured here may
differ from those displayed on your
own Live View page.
