●Check that the PC where VBSetup.exe is running is connected to the same segment of the LAN as the camera.

●VBSetup.exe may not run on Windows XP SP2. In this case, see “Note on Windows XP SP2” (→ P.1-2). This Note holds true for users who have enabled the Windows Firewall

●Check that the network for the camera is set properly. In particular, check that the IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway address are set to values available for the current network.

●If the IP address has been changed, the new IP address will not take effect until the camera is rebooted.

●Check if the URL (i.e., IP address of the camera) you entered in the Web browser is correct (→ P.1-3, 1-7).

The video does not appear.

●If the video quality is poor, check the video quality setting of the camera (→ P.1-8). Also check the display color quality setting of the PC where the Viewer is running.

●Up to 15 Viewers can access the camera simultaneously. If this limit has been exceeded, a message appears instead of video.

I can’t control the camera.

●Anyone who connects to the NC Viewer as the Administrator occupies camera control. Therefore, if you are connecting the NC Viewer as a Authorized user, you cannot get camera control until the Administrator releases it. See your system administrator
