Operations (Step 6 Operations with a Web Browser)

It is possible to view still/moving images and perform various settings via not only the provided [Controller] software but via a Web browser as well.

However, note that MPEG4 files cannot be viewed with a browser. Also, the browser does not support the image inversion function.

6-1 Required Operating Environment

The following environment is required for viewing and operating VN-C10 with a Web browser.

It is necessary for the PC to satisfy the technical requirements described in this instruction manual (Page 7).

The PC must also satisfy the following Web browser conditions:

¥A Web browser compatible with JavaScript and frame, that is, Netscape Ver. 4.x or Internet Explorer Vers. 4.x, 5.x and 6.x.

¥For the recommended CPU performance and required memory capacity, refer to the Web browser in use.

For smooth display of large-screen moving images, specifications much better than those rec- ommended are necessary.

Images from the camera will not be displayed properly in the 256-color mode.

¥For Internet Explorer, an environment where Java can be properly run (Microsoft VM) is re- quired.

LAN Environment

¥VN-C10 can work as a web server that uses HTTP. Access linkage using a host name is pos- sible if the environment supports DNS (Domain Name System).

¥A direct connection of VN-C10 to a PC is possible using a cross-over cable. (Though rare, certain LAN boards do not allow the use of a cross-over cable. Be sure to check your LAN board.)

Note

Web page images

Web page images shown in this document refer to Web page data within VN-C10, including images captured by the VN-C10 camera and displayed by a Web browser.

Depending on the type and settings of the Web browser, the page format and character fonts of the displayed Web pages may vary. Should the page contents fail to be displayed in total, try resizing the window, etc.

The illustrations in this manual are obtained from Internet Explorer display screens.

For Internet Explorer

¥After the password has been changed, the password authentication window may ask for the password twice. In this case, enter the same password twice.
