8.7 Viewing Live Images and Controlling the AutoDome PTZ
Once the network cables are properly connected and the IP AutoDome has a valid IP address,
you can view live images and control the PTZ controls over the TCP/IP network using
Microsoft Internet Explorer.
8.7.1 Establishing a Connection
Once the software is installed on a local computer and the IP AutoDome is configured with
the proper IP addresses, you can connect to the camera using Microsoft Internet Explorer.
The main screen contains all the options to configure the LivePage video recording and to
configure settings.
Figure 8.10 Overview
To establish a connection, do the following:
1. Launch Microsoft Internet Explorer.
2. Type the IP address of the IP AutoDome into the browser's Address Bar and click Go.
3. If the AutoDome is password-protected, the system prompts you to enter a password.
Note: This password is for network access only and not for access to the OSD menus.
4. Type the user name and the associated password in the appropriate fields.
5. Click OK to open the IP AutoDome LivePage. The LivePage window displays the video
image from the camera.
8.7.2 Configuring Data Streams
The IP AutoDome encodes dual data streams simultaneously according to two individually
customized profiles. This feature creates two (2) data streams per camera that can serve
different purposes. For example, one (1) data stream for local recording and one (1) data
stream optimized for transmission over the Local Area Network (LAN). In addition, the camera
offers a Motion JPEG (M-JPEG) option. M-JPEG is a video format that uses JPEG picture
compression in each frame of the video.

NOTICE! The IP AutoDome allows a maximum of five (5) standard connections and 25
multicast connections. If you cannot connect to the IP AutoDome, you may have exceeded the
maximum number of connections for the device or network configuration.
