Preface

Network

System A

The PC Software Package WV-AS65 (hereinafter referred to as WV-AS65) is designed for integrated management of up to 100 Panasonic WJ-ND300, WJ-ND200 network disk recorders and WJ-HD300 series digital disk recorders (hereinafter referred to as recorders) connected to a network such as a LAN or the Internet, and runs on the Microsoft®Windows®operating system.

By using this software on a personal computer (hereinafter PC) via a network, it is possible to display live images of the cameras connected to the recorder, to play images stored on the recorder, and to download image files to the hard disk drive of the PC. It is possible to search and play the downloaded images matching the specified conditions such as recorded time, etc.

System Configuration

When the system is configured as "System A" in the illustration above, live images can directly be monitored with this software. To monitor live images, the followings are necessary:

• Register cameras in the recorder.

• Do not use two or more ports of the recorder.

• Select "MJPEG" for the live image transmission mode of the camera

when the camera in use is WV-NP472, WV-NS32x or WV-NW47x.

Refer to the operating instructions of the recorder for further information about cameras can be connected to the recorder.

This software consists of the following 2 applications:

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

<Network mode> 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. <Local mode> 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.

Page 4

[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.

The downloader will not close even though the main application is closed. When using the schedule download function, activate the downloader. When the downloader is closed, the main application will close automatically.
