* JPEG Data Size

The approximate recording capacity is calculated by using the following formula: Size (KB) x Frame rate (images/sec) x Recording time (sec) Example

• The calculation for a 1-hour recording of 640 x 480 resolution images at a frame rate of 5 images/sec in Normal mode is as follows: 52 KB x 5 images/sec x 3,600 sec (1 hour) = 936,000 KB 󲰩 914 MB

• In case of images with voices, 4 KB is added per each second: 936,000 KB + 4 KB x 3,600 sec = 950,400 KB 󲰩 928 MB

* A version upgrade from BB-HNP11 and BB-HNP15 is not supported. * Camera control depends on the control specifications supported by the network camera. * The number of camera units allowed for simultaneous recording varies depending on the PC performance.

* MPEG-4 bit rate:

The approximate recording capacity is calculated by using the following formula: MPEG-4 bit rate (Kbps)/8 bits x time (sec). Example

• The calculation fo r 640 x 480 re solution im ages at an MPEG -4 bit rate of 20 48 Kbps is as follows:

204 8 Kbps/8 bi ts x 3,6 00 seconds (1 hour) = 921,600 K B 󲰩 900 MB

• In case of im ages w ith voices, 4 K B is add ed per each second:

921,600 KB + 4 KB x 3,600 sec = 93 6,000 KB 󲰩 914 MB

* H.264 bit rate: This depends on the value set at the camera for

H.264 bit rate for image distribution.

The approximate recording capacity is calculated by using the following formula: H.264 bit rate (Kbps)/8 bits x time (sec). Example

The calculation for 640 x 480 resolution images at an H.264 bit rate of 1536 Kbps is as follows:

•

1536 Kbps/8 bits x 3,600 seconds (1 hour) = 691,200 KB = 675 MB

• In case of images with voices, 8 KB is added per each second:

691,200 KB + 8 KB x 3,600 sec = 720,000 KB 󲰩 704MB

Support for H.264, MPEG-4 and Motion JPEG Images and Sound

Images with sound from a LAN- or internet-connected network camera or network camera server can easily be recorded and replayed from a remote PC. Images together with sound can be recorded, which gives a sense of actually being on site, something that cannot be conveyed with images alone. It is also possible to record images from multiple network cameras simultaneously. In addition to MPEG-4 and Motion JPEG, H.264 for high compression and smooth movement is also supported, and mode can be selected according to application and environment.

Recording and monitoring of high resolution 2,048x1,536 (JPEG), 1,920x1,080(H.264) camera images are possible. In operating situations where detailed images are necessary, high quality images can be stored in a PC with the same high resolution.

Time-specified Color Night View (CNV) / Adaptive Black Stretch (ABS)

Time-specified Color Night View (CNV) / Adaptive Black Stretch (ABS) can be set using a timer. Cameras are switched between normal and CNV / ABS modes from HNP17. By switching between normal mode for bright daylight conditions, and ABS for nighttime when there is darkness, camera images can be recorded or monitored using the most appropriate mode for a given time period.

Flexible Layout Setup Possible with Multi-monitoring Screen

It is possible to monitor from up to 16 cameras simultaneously on one screen. In case more than 16 cameras are registered, images from up to 64 cameras can be displayed on up to 128 pages with switching between screens. Switching can be done to provide full-screen display of camera images, and switching to single-screen view can be done by double-clicking on the camera image you wish to view.

Full Screen Display

A camera image is displayed on the full screen of your PC.

Single Monitoring Screen Display

If you double-click an image from the network camera, the screen display on your PC is switched into Single Monitoring / Multi-Monitoring screen for the user’s convenience.

Flexible Layout

The multi-monitoring screen layout can be changed flexibly. For example it is possible to change the number of images displayed vertically and horizontally and increase the size of an image that you wish to give special attention to.

Auto Scan Display under Multi-Monitoring

This function shows different multi-monitoring images at certain intervals and can switch into different pages of those images.

Remote Access Function

Router

For host-side PCs installed with BB-HNP17, access is possible using a web browser for monitoring and checking of recorded data. It is not necessary for BB-HNP17 to be installed in the client-side PC. Three levels of access authority can be set for users, and administrator authority configurations can be set, including the addition of new image recording conditions.

* The first time the server is accessed via a client PC web browser, the remote client recording program is

automatically downloaded and installed. * When used with H.264, the accessing client-side PC must also have an H.264 user license (BB-HCAB). * When used with MPEG-4, the accessing client-side PC must also have an MPEG-4 user license (BB-HCA5). * Internet Explorer (Windows version) is the only web browser supported. * When BB-HNP17 (server) is accessed through the Internet using a web browser, a setting is necessary to permit

access by an outside computer installed with HNP17.

Network camera

Multi-sensor-activated Recording / Timer Recording with Preset Position

Detection by sensors mounted on network cameras can be used to activate

recording. There is also a built-in timer recording function to start and end

recording at preset times. By combining these functions, it is possible for

sensor-activated recording to operate only within preset time periods.

*1 Depends on Camera's Spec. *2-1 Folders on the network allotted to the drive can be specified for saving data. *2-2 When a network drive is specified as a folder for saving data, the amount of data flowing

over the network increases. This may remarkably degrade the operating performance for watching or recording camera images, watching previously recorded images, etc., and may also result in errors. It is recommended that a folder on a local disk be specified for saving data.

conditions, network conditions, etc.
