Note

Since most operations and settings of Admin Viewer are common with the Helper Viewer, basic camera control and the like are omitted here. This chapter describes only the functions and operations that are unique to Admin Viewer.

The manual for the viewer software is provided on the supplied CD-ROM ( Mon-E.pdf).

About the special privileges of administrators

Since Admin Viewer has more special privileges than the Helper Viewer and Java Viewer, please keep in mind the following points when using Admin Viewer:

Since connection time is unlimited, please exit the Viewer after viewing.

When a camera control privilege has been obtained, Admin Viewer forcibly continues to obtain this privilege. After viewing, be sure to exit the Viewer or click the Control button again to release these privileges.

When making settings, keep in mind that images outside the view restrictions are displayed also in the Helper Viewer and Java Viewer that are connected simultaneously with Admin Viewer.

Starting Up Admin Viewer

Click the "Admin Viewer" on the VBAdmin Startup Panel or double-click the "Admin Viewer" icon on the desktop.

When the Admin Livescope window appears, click the "File" then the "Connect". The "Camera server address setting" dialog box appears. Enter the following items:

Host Name (The IP address set on the VB101, P.33, 38)

User Name (root, P.38)

Then click the "OK" button. The video will then be displayed.
