Network Camera & Live Cams Support

Make sure you have set up your Microseven Network Camera. Instructions can be found at http://www.microseven.com

Objective

*To view your Microseven Network Camera on any computer with an internet connection and on any browser (e.g. Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox, Google Chrome, Safari, etc.)

STEP 1

Before continuing, please make sure you have VLC media player installed. To check if you have VLC Media player installed, visit http://www.microseven.com/vlc.html?ip=74.212.249.249. Your firewall might prompt you to block the plug-in; please unblock for viewing.

If you can see the live stream, skip to step 2. If you cannot see the live stream, go to step 1.1.

STEP 1.1

Go to http://www.videolan.org/vlc/ to download the installer. After clicking “Download VLC”, the website will redirect to “Sourceforge” and the file will start downloading.

STEP 1.2

After downloading the installer, run it. If there is a security warning, just click “Run”. Follow the instructions of the installer. When you reach the “Choose Components” section, be sure to select “Full” for your installation.

STEP 1.3

Continue the installation and click “Finish”. You may now continue to Step 2.

STEP 2

Prepare your own camera’s IP address and set the port to 554.

STEP 3

To view your camera, type in the URL with the following format: http://www.microseven.com/vlc.html?ip=[ip address]&port=554

(For example, http://www.microseven.com/vlc.html?ip=74.212.249.249&port=554)

Your camera’s live stream should now be displayed in your browser.

If your camera did not show up after these steps, or if you have further questions, don’t hesitate to ask a question to support@microseven.com
