Introduction
This is the user manual for the following TruVision covert IP camera models:

This manual explains how to configure the camera over the network with a web
browser.
TruVision IP cameras can be configured and controlled using Microsoft Internet
Explorer (IE) and other browsers. The procedures described use Microsoft Internet
Explorer (IE) web browser.
Checking your web browser security level
When using the web browser interface, you can install ActiveX controls to connect and
view video using Internet Explorer. However, you cannot download data, such as video
and images due to the increased security measure. Consequently you should check the
security level of your PC so that you are able to interact with the cameras over the web
and, if necessary, modify the Active X settings.
Configuring IE ActiveX controls
You should confirm the ActiveX settings of your web browser.
To change the web browser’s security level:
1. In Internet Explorer click Internet Options on the Tools menu.
2. On the Security tab, click the zone to which you want to assign a web site under
“Select a web content zone to specify its security settings”.
3. Click Custom Level.
4. Change the ActiveX controls and plug-ins options that are signed or marked as
safe to Enable. Change the ActiveX controls and plug-ins options that are
unsigned to Prompt or Disable. Click OK.
- or -
Under Reset Custom Settings, click the security level for the whole zone in the
Reset To box, and select Medium. Click Reset.
Then click OK to the Internet Options Security tab window.
5. Click Apply in the Internet Options Security tab window.
