PREFACE

SYSTEM CONFIGURATION

The PC Software Package WV-AS60 (hereinafter referred to as WV-AS60) is designed for integrated management of up to 100 Panasonic WJ-HD300 series digital disk recorders connected to a network such as a LAN or the Internet, and runs on the Microsoft®Windows®operating system.

This software provides users with the following operations using a remote personal computer (PC):

• Display images from cameras connected to a recorder on a remote PC monitor

• Play the recorded images stored in a recorder on a PC monitor

• Download the recorded images stored in a recorder and save them onto the hard disk drive of a PC

• Search downloaded images by filtering (using search conditions such as time and date, etc.) and play the search results

This software consists of the following 2 applications:

[Main application]: The main application runs in the following 2 modes.

In this mode, it is possible to control a recorder remotely via a network. Run this application in this mode to monitor live images from cameras connected to a recorder or play the recorded images stored in a recorder.

In this mode, it is possible to access downloaded recorded images saved onto the hard disk drive of a PC. Run this application in this mode to search and play downloaded recorded images.

[Downloader]: This application downloads recorded images from a recorder. This is the resident application (in the

system tray). Once the PC is turned on, the downloader runs in the background of the PC. It is possible to start the main application from the downloader.

Even though the main application is closed, the downloader will keep running and perform the schedule function that downloads recorded images automatically. When the downloader is closed, the main application will close automatically.

FEATURES

Image download

It is possible to download recorded images stored in the recorder onto the hard disk drive on a PC using this function. Downloaded images can be played using the main application. There are 2 ways to download recorded images: schedule download and manual download.

• Schedule download

Downloads images automatically according to the schedule set (start time and date of downloading, the recording time range of images to be downloaded) in advance.

• Manual download function

Downloads the recorded images manually by designating the recording time range while playing the recorded images stored in the recorder.

Important:

When ON is selected for the host authentication on the recorder, it is impossible to monitor live or recorded images by accessing the recorder using an unregistered PC as a host. However, schedule download is available even if ON is selected for the host authentication. Manual download is available only when using a registered host since it is necessary to set the time range of the recorded images to be downloaded during playback.

Remote control of the recorder

It is possible to simultaneously monitor live or recorded images of up to 16 channels of the recorder. It is possible to display images on a single or a multi-screen (4-/9-/16-split screen) and assign camera channels to any segment of a multi-screen. By registering these settings (single or multi-screen, camera channel assignment), as a favorite, it is possible to call them up directly. The following operations are available with the cameras connected to the recorder are operable when its live or recorded images are displayed.

• Camera control

It is possible to control cameras with functions such as panning, tilting, zooming, etc..

• Status display

It is possible to display status of the recorder (alarm, recording, error, etc.) on a monitor.

• Search and play

It is possible to play the recorded images by searching using recording event search, VMD search or marking search.

• Recorder control

It is possible to control the recorder with functions such as starting/stopping manual recording, attaching text information to recorded images, displaying a log of the recorder, copying recorded images, etc.

Image file management

• Image file database

Downloaded images will be registered in the database. It is possible to search registered images by filtering (recorder, time and date, recording event, etc.). It is possible to attach text information as a comment and the attached comment can be a keyword for filtering. The icons (new /checked ) attached to images make it easy to identify downloaded images at a glance.

• Image playback

There are 2 ways of playback: multiple channel playback and 4-file simultaneous playback. When downloading the image of the designated multiple channels, playback of images recorded from multiple (4, 9 or 16) channels is available. It is possible to simultaneously play 4 files by dragging and dropping 4 files onto the desired areas of the 4-split screen respectively. It is also possible to print, save as a jpeg file, and save images on a CD-R or DVD-R by designating a certain period of images.

Alarm management

An alarm log will be created by using the transmission from the recorder to an FTP server. When an alarm log is updated, the newest information will be displayed on a monitor. It is possible to access directly a corresponding alarm image from the displayed information to play it.

• Create an alarm log by using the transmission from the recorder to an FTP server

The recorder automatically transmits the recorded images to an FTP server at an event occurrence (FTP alarm transmission function). By using this function, an alarm log will be updated by referring to information of the recorded images transmitted to an FTP server directory on a PC. It is necessary to register an FTP server directory on the SETUP MENU of the recorder and the main application. Refer to page 136 for descriptions of how to register an FTP server directory for the main application. Refer to the Operating Instructions of the recorder for descriptions of how to register an FTP server directory for the recorder.

Notes:

• To use this function, it is required that IIS (Microsoft®Internet Information Services) is running on a PC on which this software is installed.

• Transmitted recorded images from the recorder to an FTP server would have been recorded from the start time of the event recording. When events occurred sequentially, only images recorded from the start time of the first event recording will be transmitted.

Enhanced security

It is possible to enhance security by using the user authentication function (requires entering a user name and password). In addition, only users who registered as the administrator can perform the settings of this software. Users who are not registered as the administrator cannot perform the settings of this software. It is also possible to restrict operable functions by applying the user type to each user. In combination with the user authentication of this software and the user level setting and the priority setting of the recorder, it is possible to have well-designed user management for remote operation.

Local PC maintenance

• Management of the available disk space of a PC It is possible to check the available disk space of the hard disk drive used to store downloaded images. Downloading will not be performed when the available disk space is running out and there is no space to save images.

• Deletion of the older image files by designating the time and date It is possible to delete image files on the hard disk drive of a PC that were recorded before a designated time and date.

• Deletion of image files by setting the file retention period It is possible to delete recorded image files automatically when the set number of days has passed from the day the image was recorded.

System specifications

This software has the following system specifications:

• Up to 100 recorders can be registered

• Up to 32 users can be registered

• 5 user types are available

• Up to 400 schedules can be registered

• Up to 500 favorites can be registered

• Up to 10 concurrent accesses for downloading are available

• Displaying images from up to 16 cameras on a monitor is available

• Displaying playback images of up to 4 files is available

Note:

When 2 or more WV-AS60’s are used, up to 4 concurrent accesses (4 PCs) to a single recorder are available. (A single recorder can accept up to 8 concurrent accesses by users, but the recorder counts a single access using this software as 2 accesses.) When exceeding the maximum number of concurrent access due to increase in the number of accesses using web browser or FTP accesses, connection with the recorder may be disconnected and a black screen may be displayed.
