Installing Axis Network Camera
ActiveX Camera Control
QUESTION:
When I try to view the live Flam Cam video in Internet Explorer. I get this
message:
"Axis ActiveX Camera Control
The AXIS ActiveX Camera Control, which enables you to view live image
streams in Microsoft Internet Explorer, could not be registered on your
computer."
How can I solve this problem?
ANSWER:
Normally, the necessary
components are downloaded upon first access to the Flam Cam live video.
If that is not the case, there are several ways to install these. You
should only have to do this procedure ONCE.
1. Change Internet
Explorer Security Settings
First, assure
that your Internet Explorer is set to accept download and running of
Active X components. The current setting can be found and changed under
Tools > Internet Options > Security > Custom Level. After making
this change, close your browser and then reopen it and access the Flam Cam LIVE at
http://www.PlasticPinkFlamingos.com/flamcam.html.
If the ActiveX component does not install, proceed to the next step.
Be
warned --modifying your registry can have serious affects on your
system -- always create a backup of your system registry before editing
the registry .
2. Change the
registry of your Windows machine to force activeX to reload when you
visit the Flam Cam live video page
- Go into the registry
by issuing command regedt32 from Start->Run.
- Search for AxisCamControl
and you will find a directory beginning with 9176.
- Delete this directory
and access the camera again at http://www.PlasticPinkFlamingos.com/flamcam.html.
The ActiveX should automatically install. If the ActiveX component does
not install, proceed to the next step.
3. Manual installation
of Axis Camera ActiveX Controls
Download
AxisCamControl directly from the camera/video server.
This is available under http://66.118.228.24/activex/
as AxisCamControl.cab. Download this file on your PC
and unpack it. From a command prompt (Start >Run>cmd)
go to the directory where you have unpacked the files
(with cd command) and run the following commands:
regsvr32 AxisCamControl.ocx
regsvr32 CamCli.dll
Also, copy ijl11.dll
file to c:\Windows\system32.
After this open
an Internet Explorer window and access the Flam Cam LIVE at
http://www.PlasticPinkFlamingos.com/flamcam.html
