Network security
As you will use this unit connected to a network, your attention is called to the following security risks.
(1)Leakage or disclosure of information transmitted via this unit
(2)Unauthorized use of this unit by a third person with malicious intent
(3)Interference or stoppage of this unit by a third person with malicious intent
It is your responsibility to take sufficient network security measures such as those described below to protect yourself against the above risks.
zzUse this unit in a network secured by a firewall, etc.
zzIf this unit is used in a system with a computer connected, make sure that checks for and removal of computer viruses and malicious programs are implemented regularly.
zzDo not install the unit in a location where the unit, cables, and other parts may be easily damaged.
User authentication
The user authentication function of this unit uses basic authentication. When basic authentication is used on an unsecured network, there is the risk of passwords being leaked.
We recommend using host authentication in such a case.
Configure the host authentication settings on the remote cameras. For details, refer to the Operating Instructions for the remote cameras.
Restrictions on use
With regards to the network for connecting the remote cameras and personal computer to the unit, we recommend that the segment is the same.
If there are connections for which the segment is different, events dependent upon, for example, settings unique to the network equipment may occur so carefully check the connections prior to the start of operation.

IP connections and serial connections supported
IP connections
zzUp to 100 remote cameras *1 can be controlled via a network hub (switching hub).
zzThe unit’s auto IP setting function can be used to automatically assign and control the IP addresses of the remote cameras *1 and switcher *2.
*1: Supported cameras: AW HE50, AW HE60, AW HE120, and AW HE2 *2: Supported switcher: AW HS50
zzOne remote camera can be simultaneously controlled from up to 5 units.
zzThe setup software supplied with this unit can be used to set the IP addresses of the remote cameras and switchers from a personal computer via the unit.
Serial connections
zzUp to 5 remote cameras can be connected.
Easy to operate the remote cameras
zzThe unit is equipped with dedicated levers, buttons, and dials for performing pan, tilt, zoom, and focus operations. Furthermore, there is a dedicated speed adjustment knob for each of them. Camera angle adjustment can be performed quickly and reliably.
zzThe unit is equipped with an AWB button and ABB button for executing automatic adjustment of the white balance and black balance. Furthermore, there are dedicated dials for adjusting the pedestal and gain for each of the R channel and B channel. Manual color adjustment is also easy.
zzThe 1 to 50 number buttons and page buttons enable quick access operations at sites where presets are used frequently.
Also, the speed at which a remote camera moves to a preset position (PRESET SPEED) can be memorized for each preset number of the unit. Thus, a remote camera can be operated at a different speed depending on the preset number in accordance with operation, enabling video playback at a variety of speeds.
zzTracing memory is incorporated for recording a series of operations.
It allows you to duplicate remote camera operations.
zzHD integrated cameras
AW HE50, AW HE60, AW HE120, AW HE100, and AW HE2 *3
*3: Some operations of the AW HE2 differ from those of other HD integrated cameras. For details, refer to “Operations of AW HE2” in <Operations and Settings> (page 51).
