Access the Camera
Now that the camera and the PC both have their unique IP addresses and are under the same
network segment, you can use Microsoft Internet Explorer on the PC to access the camera.
You can use any of the browsers to access I91 or I92 cameras, however, the full functionality
is provided only for Microsoft Internet Explorer.
NOTE: Only Microsoft Internet Explorer is supported by KCM-8111 at the time of writing this
documentation. Please refer to our website (www.acti.com) for future upgrades.

* QuickTime (http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/) has to be installed in the PC first
before using any non-Internet Explorer browsers to be able to get live video feed from the
camera with those browsers. It is a free and open source cross-platform multimedia player.
Disclaimer Notice: The camera manufacturer does not guarantee the compatibility of its
cameras with QuickTime – since it is a third party software, the third party has the right to
modify their utility any time which might affect the compatibility. In such cases, please use
Internet Explorer browser instead.
When using Internet Explorer browser, the ActiveX control for video stream management will
be downloaded from the camera directly – the user just has to accept the use of such control
when prompted so. No other third party utilities are required to be installed in such case.
The examples in this manual are based on Internet Explorer browser in order to cover
all functions of the camera.
