1 Installation
The installation process of C-MOR is very easy. The complete setup consists of just three steps - C-
MOR is then ready for recording.
Software requirements of your PC:
An Internet browser supporting the following web technologies:
JavaScript
HTTP 1.1
Cookies
Most of today's browsers like Internet Explorer 9.0 or Mozilla Firefox 4 are suitable for the administration
and the use of C-MOR. The majority of operating systems include Java VM (Virtual Machine). In case
your operating system does not support Java VM, for viewing live streams of the camera it will be
necessary to install a Java runtime environment (e.g. Java Runtime Environment, JRE by Oracle).
For the playback of video recordings, MPEG-2 and MPEG-4 codecs are required. Most software DVD-
players like WinDVD or PowerDVD support these codecs but it may be necessary to install these codecs
separately. Windows is already equipped with these codecs by the means of the Media Player or
VideoLAN (VLC) player. Current versions of Linux derivatives also offer suitable movie players with
correspondent codecs. We recommend the VLC Player for all operating systems, also on Macintosh
systems.
Most suitable for the use of C-MOR is Mozilla Firefox.
1.1 Package Contents

humidity or extreme variations in temperature. C-MOR must not be exposed to direct sunlight. For
safety reasons C-MOR should be set up where only authorized personnel has access. Your recordings
are only safe if C-MOR is protected from demolition and theft!
Connect C-MOR to the power supply using the power cable and to the network using the network cable
(2 m).

Enter the MAC address of your C-MOR in the IP Setup Toolbox. The MAC address can be found on the

password is required. The standard login is "admin" and the password is "admin". Simply enter your
