I am running Windows 8 on a notebook with Internet Explorer.
Any ideas?
Thanks
Try clicking on the SS cam and a blue line should appear near the top of the screen. It will ask you to install ActiveX. Just follow the directions and you should be able to se the cam.

Make sure you have the Stream Profile / Video Format to Motion JPEG. Also try clicking on the square with the arrow in it to make the image full screen on your monitor. The ESC key will bring back the normal screen.

Here are other links to the camera that will also work but may ask for ActiveX be installed. No problem with ActiveX as I am running it on Windows 7 & 8 with no problems.

SS Live view - AXIS Q6032-E Network Camera

LSL Live view - AXIS 213 PTZ Network Camera

BW Live view - AXIS Q6035-E Network Camera

If, when clicking on the link for the first time, you get a pop-up telling you it wants to install AXIS whatever - click ok - it's safe to do - and it only happens once for each camera! The full screen display is awesome!
