Operating Instructions

Note

The digital zoom feature and the Click to Center feature can be used for video (Motion JPEG) only.

When selecting [All] for the View Type, all images are displayed in 160 × 120 pixels resolution.

640 × 480-pixel images cannot be displayed on the Multi-Camera page.

When viewing video (Motion JPEG), we recommend using an Ethernet switching hub instead of a repeater hub to prevent degradation in video display.

Due to network congestion or the number of accesses, the refresh interval may increase.

If the refresh interval is too long, restrict the bandwidth on the Network page (see page 34). The refresh interval should improve.

To reduce the data traffic, set up [Limit Continuous Motion JPEG] on the Image Display page (see page 89). The video (Motion JPEG) can be automatically changed to refreshing still images. Images of moving subject are blurred or not displayed.

When viewing 4 cameras on the Multi-Camera page, you may need 3 to 4 Mbps bandwidth. If sufficient bandwidth is not available, the refresh interval may increase.

The Click to Center feature can be used while using the digital zoom.

When an image is not displayed on the Multi-Camera page

Confirm that the global IP address is specified correctly for each camera and that each camera is connected to the Internet. For Internet access, local IP

addresses (192.168..) cannot be used. (See page 11 of Troubleshooting on the CD-ROM)

Confirm the settings on the Multi-Camera Setup page (see page 92).

Confirm that the web browser is not accessing a proxy server (see page 127).

When setting [Do not permit access from guest users] or [Permit access from guest users (mobile only)] on the Security: Administrator page

An authentication window is displayed when accessing the camera. Enter the administrator's or the general user's user name and password.

When you view images from several cameras on the Multi-Camera page, an authentication window is displayed for each camera that has security settings enabled. Enter the administrator's or general user's user name and password registered for each camera.
