Operating Instructions

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

•Due to the network congestion or the number of accesses, the refresh interval may slow down.

•When the refresh interval is slow, restrict the bandwidth on the Network page (see page 33). The refresh interval may be improved.

•If the video (Motion JPEG) display is limited (see page 52), the video will be changed to refreshing still images.

•To reduce the data traffic, the video (Motion JPEG) can be automatically changed to refreshing still images (see page 52).

•When viewing 4 cameras on the Multi-Camera page, you may need 3 to 4 Mbps bandwidth. If the bandwidth is not enough, the refresh interval may slow down.

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

•Confirm that the Internet IP address is specified for each camera and that each camera is connected to the Internet. For Internet access, local IP addresses (192.168.xxx.xxx) cannot be used.

•Confirm the settings on the Multi-Camera Setup page (see page 55).

•Confirm that the web browser is not accessing the proxy server (see page 103).
