This section will give you a brief overview on how to control the video cam via the firefox or safari browser and how to get a nice video stream on a Mac with OS X running. I will try to keep it as simple as possible to archive a good result. You will see that it is not a big deal.
Note: The standard IP address of an Elphel Camera is 192.168.0.9. I've changed the IP address of the camera for my network to 192.168.1.2.
