Distributing Still Images to a Mobile Phone

You can view still images and control the camera using the Web service of a mobile phone. You can easily create still image distribution pages for mobile phones with HTML which uses the command still.jpg. Sample pages for still image distribution for mobile phones have been provided for the VB-C50Fi. See below for how to view them.

1.Start up your browser and enter the following URL. http://192.168.100.1:80/mobile/index.html

*The underlined portion is a sample IP address:HTTP port number. Enter the actual IP address and HTTP port number that were set on the VB-C50Fi (P.3-6, 3-17).

2.The sample page appears.

The sample page has been created in such a way that you can control the camera. e.g. Adjust the zoom and brightness, and specify the camera position. You can perform the operation corresponding to each key by pressing the dial keys on your mobile phone.
