To view video on these cameras, click either the [View Video|ActiveX] or [View Video|Java] buttons on the top of the web page.

Firefox can only use the [View Video|Java] option and will require the Java Runtime Environment plugin.

Firefox will tell you if it needs this plugin installed. If needed, then do the following:

  • Click the ‘Install Missing plugin’ button
  • In the next window, click ‘Install Plugin’ button
  • After the plugin finishes the install you will need to close Firefox and reopen it
  • Done

*Any problems with the plugin visit here to find instructions on dealing with Java plugin issues.*

Internet Explorer can use either view. Make sure to install the plugin for either ActiveX or Java when the drop-down popup appears. It will show up as a yellow bar beneath the address bar in Internet Explorer.
