Overview
After finishing setup via the Windows-based Wizard, all LAN users can view live video using
Internet Explorer on Windows.
This Chapter has details of viewing live video using Internet Explorer.

To view multiple video servers simultaneously, or record video (either interactively or by

Gateway or Router must be configured correctly. See Making Video available from the
Internet in Chapter 4 - Advanced Viewing Setup for details.
