When the activeX prompts you, please install it, do not block it, or you will not see living video. About how to load the activeX, please see the guide of "How to load activeX in Windows7 computer". If you computer is running Windows 7 64bit, please do not access camera with IE 64bit. It cannot add the ActiveX control correctly. Access camera with IE 32bit instead of IE 64bit
