Accessing the Camera
Follow the instructions in the AXIS 225FD Installation Guide to install the camera.
The camera can be accessed with most standard o
perating systems and browsers. The
recommended browser is Internet Explorer with Windows, and Mozilla with other
operating systems. See also the Technical Specifications, on page
57.
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 page 26 for more informa-
tion. If your workstation 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 (e.g. Internet Explorer, Mozilla)
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.
