Tips
Click Active X or
Java to view your
video images.
•If you are installing several cameras, it is recommended to use one
computer to configure all of them before you install them
in your planned locations. To avoid IP address conflict, use
192.168.0.20 for the LAST camera that you plan on installing.
• Make sure that you have the latest version of Java installed on your
computer to ensure proper operation when viewing the video in Java
mode. Java can be downloaded for free from Sun’s web site. (http://
wwws.sun.com/software/download/)
• The Xplug Control is included with the DCS-900 and should be installed
on your computer if you want to use Active X to view your video images
instead of Java. The Xplug Control must be installed on your computer if
you are using the remote monitoring software. Please refer to the
Manual included on this CD for detailed information on installing the
Xplug Control to your computer for use with the software.
• Please refer to the Manual located on the CD-ROM for additional
information regarding all features and instructions related to the DCS-900.
