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.
3
[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.
4
Features
Image 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
Downloads the recorded images manually by designating the recording time range while playing the recorded
images stored in the recorder.
• Alarm download
Downloads the alarm images when an alarm occurrence is notified by the recorder.
Note:
It is impossible to download using an unregistered host PC when "ON" is selected for "Host Authentication" for
the recorder.
Remote control of the recorder
It is possible to operate the recorder via a network using this software. The available functions are displaying live
images, playback of recorded images, camera control, status indication, searching, etc.
Image file management
Downloaded images will be registered in the database. It is possible to play images, print images, save as a jpeg
image file, save as a motion image file and import motion images.
Alarm management
• Notification of an alarm occurrence
The alarm images will be displayed in the pop-up window to notify an alarm occurrence using the alarm notification function provided with the recorder.
• Alarm log management
The alarm log is created from the notification of an alarm occurrence and is managed. It is possible to play the
alarm images by clicking the status bar of the main application where the latest alarm log is displayed.
Note:
There are two selectable protocols for an alarm notification used by the recorder, Panasonic’s protocol (for WJND300 only) and FTP protocol. Refer to page 123 for descriptions of how to register the recorder. Refer to the
Operating Instructions of the recorder for descriptions of how to register the recorder.
Security
• It is possible to enhance security by using the user authentication function (requires entering a user name and
password). This software manages the administrator and the registered users. 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.
5
Note:
When using this software with the user authentication of "ON", select "ON" for the user authentication on the
recorder. When "OFF" is selected for the user authentication, all users accessing this recorder using this software will be regarded as administrators.
Refer to the Operating Instructions of the recorder about the settings of user authentication.
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 image files recorded at a designating the time and date
It is possible to delete image files on the hard disk drive of a PC that were recorded at 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 a preset number of days have passed from the
day the image was recorded.
• Operation log management
It is possible to create a log of user operations for later examination. It is possible to save the operation log in the
CSV format.
System specifications
• Up to 100 recorders can be registered.
• Up to 10 concurrent accesses for downloading are available.
• Up to 32 users can be registered.
• Displaying images from up to 16 cameras on a monitor is available.
• 5 user types are available.
• Displaying playback images of up to 4 files is available.
• Up to 400 schedules can be registered.
• Up to 10 000 file items can be displayed in the list.

Notes:
• When 2 or more WV-AS65’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 an increase in the number of accesses using
web browsers or FTP accesses, connection to the recorder may be interrupted and a black screen may be displayed.

Alarm notification with
Panasonic Alarm Protocol
FTP Send by Alarm
The WJ-ND300 or WJ-ND200 recorder sends a notification to the PC when an
alarm has occurred or an error has arisen.
The alarm information is added to the alarm log. The alarm images with a time
length preset by the Pre/Post time will be downloaded. (Alarm download) Error
information is added to the error log.
It is possible to update an alarm log by referring to information of the recorded
images transmitted to an FTP server directory on a PC. To do this, it is necessary
for IIS (Microsoft®Internet Information Services) to be running on the PC on which
this software is installed.
It is possible to run the FTP server of IIS on a PC whose OS is Windows®XP
Professional or Windows®2000 Professional. However, it is necessary to install
IIS additionally. Open "Control Panel", select "Add or Remove Programs", "Add/
Remove Windows Components", and finally add "Internet Information Services
(IIS)" on the "Windows Components Wizard".
When adding "Internet Information Services(IIS)", click the [Details…] button and
check the [File Transfer Protocol (FTP) Service] box.
After adding "Internet Information Services (IIS)", right click the icon of "My
Computer" and select "Manage" from the pop-up menu. Perform the settings of the
FTP server on the displayed window by selecting "Internet Information Services"
from "Services and Applications".
Refer to the operating instructions on the Windows operating system or "Help".
When using the Windows®XP Home Edition, install other FTP server software to
use this function.
