11.1 Proxy Server Settings
A proxy server is used to protect computers when connecting to the Internet. If your computer network uses a
proxy server (many corporate networks do; most home networks do not) and you are accessing the camera
from a PC connected to the same LAN as the camera, you may experience the following issues.
– Camera cannot be accessed
– Slow image refresh rate
– Camera images cannot be seen
– Audio features cannot be used
If your network uses a proxy server, we recommend setting your web browser to bypass the proxy server when
accessing the camera from a PC connected to the same LAN as the camera.
Note
• Consult your Internet Service Provider or network administrator to find out if your network uses a proxy
server and consult your network administrator before changing your PC’s proxy server settings.
• The video and audio features cannot be used when the camera is accessed through a proxy server
requiring authentication.
How to bypass the proxy server when accessing the camera
1. Start Internet Explorer.
2. From the [Tools] menu, select [Internet Options...].
