Accessing Remote Viewing will work from both Windows PCs and Macintoshes. You need Windows Media Player 9 or higher in all cases.

Windows:

• Internet Explorer 6 or 7 - Internet Explorer is the recommended browser for remote viewing.
• Firefox - Firefox will work, but the video stream will open in a Media Player window.  Microsoft has written a Firefox plugin that can be downloaded from port25.technet.com that greatly improves the remote viewing experience with Firefox. At this time the plugin is only available for WindowsXP and Vista.

Macintosh: 

• Safari - Safari will work, but the video stream will open in a Media Player window.
• Firefox - Firefox will work, but the video stream will open in a Media Player window.

Remote viewing is designed to work best with Internet Explorer. In IE, the video feed opens in a browser window. From this window, you can cycle between camera views, view all cameras simultaneously, view a single camera, or switch between either of these modes.

Remote viewing works using the Firefox or Safari browsers works. However, it behaves differently than the IE browser. In these browsers, the video feed loads into a Windows Media Player window instead of the browser's window. To switch between viewing modes (cycle, view all, view one), you need to go back to the remote viewing web page and change your viewing mode setting. After changing the setting, go back to the Media Player window. The video stream will change to reflect your new viewing mode within a few seconds.
