Intranet To receive the images of a NetCam server via the intranet, you should ask the server
to send you the link. You can drag&drop this link from the email to your desktop. By
double clicking the link, your computer starts its standard browser and shows the
NetCam start screen.
Internet You need the NetCam server's IP address to receive images via the internet. This
address either consists of alphanumerical symbols ("http://Computer.Firm.com/") or
the more reliable numerical specification ("172.154.86.102"). Enter this information
into your browser's address field and add "NetCam/index.html" to it. The NetCam
start screen appears after having confirmed the address information with the enter
key.
Favorites To make the accessing of the images easier, you can add this address to your brows-
er's favorites.
Problems Should the NetCam start screen not appear, first check the addresses which you
have entered into your browser and correct them, if need be. The error can reappear
even by correct spelling if you have used the alphanumerical notation of the address.
In this case, contact the user on the NetCam server and request them to give you the
numerical address. The camera hand book describes how one is able to transfer the
numerical IP address.
