Canon 3.2 user manual Connecting to a Camera Server, Port No

Connecting to a Camera Server

When you use the Helper Viewer to connect to a camera server and monitor, if the Helper Viewer was started up from the Web browser, it automatically connects to the camera server, but if the Helper Viewer was started up independently, you need to specify a connection target or select a registered connection target.

You can also change the connection target to another camera server while you are still connected to one camera server, or start up multiple Helper Viewers and connect each one to a different camera server.
