Monitor your home with a Wi-Fi Webcam
(May 09, 2005)
Step 6 Get focused
To view the camera's image, open Internet Explorer and enter the camera's IP address. (Add this page to Favorites; you'll need to come back.) When the Linksys page loads, click the View Image tab. To focus the image transmitted by your camera, place a book with a legible title at the range you want to be the focal point, then adjust the focus ring on the camera until the type is sharply displayed on your monitor. You can also tweak the resolution of images by selecting the Image tab. There, you'll find brightness settings, as well as time-stamp and even text-message features.
Tip
Note that the Linksys camera doesn't work with Internet Explorer on Macs or with Mozilla Firefox on any computer.
