Overview
WebView Livescope MV Ver. 2.1 is software that allows you to use an Intranet or the Internet to
monitor images distributed from the Network Camera Server VB150/VB101 or the Network Camera
VB-C10/VB-C10R (hereafter referred to in this manual as "camera server").
This software consists of two packages: WebView Livescope MV Manager, that lets you create
monitoring screens or have centralized control of several camera servers; and WebView Livescope
MV Station, that lets you monitor images from cameras in multiple locations and easily download,
view, save, and manage pictures recorded in the camera server.
Since MV Manager uses the wizard format for registering camera servers or creating monitoring
screens, there is no need to learn complex operations. You can also have centralized control
(changing settings or confirming operating conditions) of camera servers installed in multiple
locations.
Monitoring screens can be created by selecting from a rich variety of screen styles to best suit the
size of the monitor, the number of camera servers and cameras, and monitoring objectives. It is
also possible to perform such tasks as editing maps, changing the allocation of camera servers on
the maps, or making settings for automatic operation based on schedules.
MV Station lets you access MV data created in MV Manager, freely remote control cameras, and
simultaneously view images from camera servers installed in multiple locations (up to 16 locations),
providing an efficient monitoring environment.
In MV Station, you can easily view and manage still pictures recorded by the camera server’s
picture recording function and automatically download them. Smoother and more accurate
monitoring is possible due to functions that simplify access procedures for downloading recorded
pictures or that display only the images that have been changed.
* When using VB101, upgrade the firmware to version 3.0.
Changes from MV Ver. 2.0 to Ver. 2.1 are as follows:
Added support for the Network Camera Server VB150
Canon Remote Control Pan-tilt Head NU-700 (see p. 59)
The VB150 with the Video Input set to Multiple (see p. 77)
Motion detection function (see p. 80)

Preparing the Computers
Installing the Camera Servers
First, you need to check your camera server. If the VB-C10/VB-C10R or VB150 is being used, there
is no need to upgrade the firmware. However, if the VB101 is being used, check that the firmware
version is 3.0 or later. See page 10 for details about the firmware upgrade.
Check to be sure the camera server has been correctly installed and that the initial settings
(network settings) have been made. Then connect to the network. You can perform detailed
settings or view tests from MV Manager. For procedures on installing and setting up the camera
server, please see the manual supplied with the camera server.
• At the PC where MV Manager is to be installed, set the
screen resolution to XGA (1024 × 768) or higher.
• At the PC where MV Station is to be installed, set the
screen resolution to SVGA (800 × 600) or higher. Be
sure the resolution that you set is the same or higher
than the optimum resolution of the monitoring screens
created in MV Manager (see p. 30).

Camera Server Registration W izards
The first task to perform in MV Manager is to register camera servers that are to be monitored. To add a
camera server, simply follow the easy instructions in the wizard-style screens. There are two wizards: the
Register Camera Server wizard, which is used to enter the network address for the camera server; and the
Search/Register Camera Server wizard, for auto detecting camera servers connected to the network.
Select Camera Servers on the Navigation bar, and
click Register Camera Server on the Toolbar. When
the wizard startup screen appears, click Next.
In the "Network address" field, enter an IP address
or host name for the camera server being added.
The HTTP port number set as a property (see p. 99)
of the camera server appears as a default in the
HTTP port field. Although the HTTP port number is
usually 80, if another value is preferred, enter that in
the HTTP port field and click Next.

Tip
●The device name that was entered and set in the camera server’s settings page is
reflected in the "Camera server name" field as a default. If this setting was not
made, the network address that was entered in part of Step 2 is reflected as a
default instead. In the case of VB-C10/VB-C10R, the network address is reflected
from the beginning.
●Comments such as the
installation conditions of the
camera server, the position of
cameras connected to the
camera server, or the objects
being monitored are convenient
when several camera servers
and cameras are being
operated.
The camera server is registered.
When OK is clicked in Step 2, an error message appears in the following
cases (see p. 113 for details):
●MV Manager cannot connect to the camera server, because the camera
server is not correctly connected to the network, the power switch on the
camera server is not turned on, etc.
