Operation

This chapter describes how to monitor the images distributed from the server.

zHint

•The functions of the video network station and the views and operation of the monitor screen are set by the system administrator according to the requirements of the surveillance system. So the functions and screens shown in this chapter may differ from those of the actual system you use.

•If you discover a problem with the monitor screen views or operation, please report it to your system administrator.

About the Operating Environment

The following operating environment is required to view video network station images.

•Computer: 350-MHz Pentium III with 64-MB RAM or more

•Operating System: Windows 95/98, Windows NT 4.0 SP5 or later, or Windows 2000

•Web Browser: Internet Explorer 5 or later.

Accessing the Monitor Screen

The monitor screen is accessed by a standard Web browser.

1 Launch the Web browser.

2 Enter the following in the [Address] box of the Web browser, and press the Return key.

http://<host name or IP address of the

video network station>/

The “Enter User Name and Password” dialog box appears. Depending on the system settings, a monitor screen may also appear now.

3 Enter your user name and password, and click [OK]. If you don’t know your user name and password, ask your system administrator. The monitor screen appears.

The monitor screen shows either the Camera view or HSR view (the above example is the Camera view). A system setting determines which is displayed initially.

Note

•Up to eight users can be logged on at the same time.

•When viewing the monitor screen, large amounts of data are sent to the machine. When using a modem to access the machine, you must perform the following settings:

–Set video input [Quality] to [High] or less.

–Set the image size to [Fullsize].

–Set the image display to one image only.

–Only control the EVI-D30/D31/G20/G21 or HSR- 1/1P/2/2P from the PC.

•If the computer used for viewing the monitor screen is shared with other users, we recommend closing the Web browser when finished operations. Until the browser has been closed, even after moving to another Web page, the password-protected video network station’s Web page remains accessible, for example, by clicking the [Back] button.
