Viewing Live Video
This Chapter provides basic information about viewing live video.
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.
But many other powerful features and options are available:
• To view multiple video servers simultaneously, or record video (either interactively or by
schedule), you should install the Windows Viewing/Recording utility. Refer to Chapter 6 -
Windows Viewing/Recording Utility for details on installing and using this program.
• The video server administrator can also adjust the Video Stream, and restrict access to the
video stream to known users by requiring viewers to supply a username and password. See
Chapter 4 - Advanced Viewing Setup for details.
• To make Live Video from the video server available via the Internet, your Internet
Gateway or Router must be configured correctly. See Making Video available from the
Internet in Chapter 4 - Advanced Viewing Setup for details.
Requirements
To view the live video stream generated by the Video Server, you need to meet the following
requirements:
• Windows XP, 32-bit Windows Vista/Windows 7.
