Notes: •To view streaming video in Microsoft Internet Explorer, you must set your browser to allow
ActiveX controls and allow the AXIS Media control (AMC) to be installed on your workstation. If
your workstation restricts the use of additional software components, the AXIS 206 can be con-
figured to use a Java applet for updating images. Please see the online help for more informa-
tion.
•The layout of the web pages in the AXIS 206 may have been customized to meet specific
requirements. Consequently, some of the examples and functions featured here may differ from
those displayed on your own Live View page.
Access from the Internet
Once installed, your AXIS 206 is accessible on your local network (LAN). To access the
camera from the Internet you must configure your router to allow incoming data traffic to
the camera. To do this, enable the NAT-traversal feature, which will attempt to
automatically configure the router to allow access to the camera. This is enabled from
Setup > System Options > Network > TCP/IP Advanced.
For more information, please see NAT traversal (port mapping), on page 31. See also the
