Using the web browser 
This chapter describes how you can use the web browser interface to configure 
the device, play back recorded video, search through event logs, and control a 
PTZ dome camera. You can also specify settings on the web browser interface to 
optimize video playback and recording performance when operating in a low or 
limited bandwidth environment. Many of the browser configurations are similar to 
those done locally.
