■ Introduction
The PC Software Package WV-AS710A (hereinafter referred to as WV-AS710A) is designed to monitor pictures
from cameras at remote locations on personal computers (PCs) via an IP network such as the Internet/Intranet.
Install the WV-AS710A in a PC server whose OS is Red Hat Enterprise Linux WS 3.0 to run the network camera
server (a PC server in which the WV-AS710A is installed is referred to as a network camera server in this operating
instructions). Users can monitor the pictures using web browsers on PCs.

Camera Site
When using cameras connected by coaxial cable
Access the network using the network interface unit WJ-NT104. The network camera server identifies the IP address
and the camera channels of the network interface unit, and acquires camera pictures and controls the cameras.
When using network cameras with built-in 10BASE-T/100BASE-TX Ethernet port connected by LAN cable
Access the network assigning unique IP addresses to each camera. The network camera server identifies the IP
addresses assigned to each camera, and acquires camera pictures and controls the cameras.
User Site
Users can browse camera pictures by entering the address of the network camera server in the address box of a
web browser in the same way they access web pages using a web browser. Users don’t need to remember the IP
address of each camera thanks to menus displayed in the web browser that allow them to select and operate the
desired camera.
When connected cameras are compatible with MPEG-4, users can browse camera pictures in the MPEG-4 format
by downloading the MPEG-4 Plug-in Software from the network camera server and installing it in the PC. Users also
can download recorded pictures from the network camera server and play them as MPEG-4 motion pictures.
It is required to download the MPEG-4 Player to play downloaded pictures. Download the MPEG-4 Player from the
network camera server and install it in the PC.
■ Function
Network Monitoring
By using the network camera server, users can browse JPEG or MPEG-4 format pictures from cameras at remote
locations in the same way they access web pages using a web browser. Multiple users can browse pictures from the
same camera simultaneously, and also each user can browse pictures from different cameras.
Recordings
Authenticated users can record camera pictures delivered to the network camera server on to hard disks.
Alarm Recordings
When the network camera server receives an alarm signal from a camera, pictures from the camera can be recorded on to a hard disk of the server. In this case, sending e-mail to specified addresses to notify of an alarm occurring
is also possible. The recipients of the alarm mail can browse the recorded camera pictures by following a link contained in the mail.
Note: The network camera server receives alarm signals only when cameras use the Panasonic protocol to transmit
alarm signals.
Administration
Administration of the network camera server (for example, setting of camera numbers) can be performed using a
web browser installed on a PC connected to the network.
It is unnecessary to install special software on a PC since the network camera server is fully operable with a web
browser.

About Network Environment
Depending on the traffic on the network or the security system of the LAN (e.g. firewall), it may be difficult to display
HTML documents delivered from the network camera server correctly. The HTML documents delivered from the network camera server contain JavaScript and commands to CGIs. When a PC is set to ignore these commands,
HTML documents may not be displayed correctly.

Features
Notes:
• When the traffic on the network is heavy
When the transmission speed is slow or the traffic on the network is too heavy to receive image data, it may be
difficult to browse camera pictures and a still picture indicating the failure to acquire an image ("Image capture
has failed.") may appear. When this still picture appears frequently, adjust the time interval for acquiring image
data.
• When a firewall (including software) is installed
• Allow HTTP access to a port for Apache (default port number: 80).
• Allow HTTP access to a port for WV-AS710A (default port number: 8080). The port for WV-AS710A can be
changed during installation.
• Allow access to all of the UDP ports. Otherwise, it is impossible to browse motion pictures (MPEG-4).

Notes:
• Installation of the WV-AS710A on the Red Hat Linux server, allocation of disk space for recorded pictures (when
"Live View & Recording" is selected), and uninstallation of the WV-AS710A must be performed by a root user.
• The following procedures are based on the assumption that the installation is performed on an IBM xSeries 335
or 345 (22X model).
Procedures to Establish the Network Camera Server
To use the network camera server, perform the following.
1. Selection of the system type of the network camera server
2. Confirmation of the directory structure
3. Installation of Red Hat Enterprise Linux
4. Allocation of disk space for recorded pictures (when "Live View & Recording" is selected)
5. Installation of the WV-AS710A (Execution of the installation script)
6. Startup of the WV-AS710A
7. System environment setting
Before running the network camera server, access the "Administrator’s Page" and set the system environment.
Refer to the "Administration" section on page 43.
8. Running of the network camera server
After setting the system environment, restart the WV-AS710A. The settings will be validated and the network
camera server will start running.
34
Selection of the System Type
Depending on the system type, the network camera server works in different ways.
System Type Description
Live View & Recording Delivery of live camera pictures and recording can be performed. (Allocation of disk space
for recorded pictures is required on the server.)
Recorded pictures can be searched for and played when desired, and they can be downloaded on a user's
PC hard disk.
Live View Only Only delivery of live camera pictures is available with this system type. Recording, playback, search-
ing and the alarm function are not available with this system type.
Note: The system type can be changed anytime if required. In case of switching from the "Live View Only" to the
"Live View & Recording", allocation of disk space for recorded pictures will be required.
Design a system fulfilling all of the conditions below to run the network camera server in each system type.
Items Live View & Recording Live View Only
Camera Site Maximum camera number 64 128*
Maximum total bit rate 30Mbps 30Mbps
User Site Maximum concurrent access*

*
To connect 128 cameras, it is required to set the maximum bit rate at less than 230kbps and the maximum frame
rate at less than 1.5fps per a camera in the camera settings.
Refer to the following values for the maximum frame rate of cameras.
The following values may differ depending on objects to be captured and the network environment. Also,
depending on the traffic on the network, acquiring pictures at the maximum frame rate may fail.
Size of a JPEG (QVGA): Approx.15 - 22 KB
Maximum frame rate of WJ-NT104: 5fps (Settings of WJ-NT104: JPEG, Fixed Input Selection Mode, no limitation
for maximum bit rate, QVGA).
Maximum frame rate of WV-NM100 (MPEG-4): 30fps (Settings of WV-NM100: bit rate of 256kbps or more,
QCIF).
*2Regardless of JPEG or MPEG-4, the access number is regarded as the number of split screens to be displayed.
As an exception, when the JPEG type cameras that are grouped into a multiscreen are accessed, the access
number is considered as one.
*3One access enables the system to play back a number of multi-split screens. A maximum concurrent playback of
64 is equivalent to the access of 16 users requesting the playback of different quad screens simultaneously.
*4In the case where the user site obtains 64 accesses for playback, up to 36 accesses for viewing live pictures are
available.
35
Installation
Confirmation of the Directory Structure
The network camera server uses the following directories. Disk space for recording pictures should be allocated by
an administrator. (Refer to page 39.) The other directories below are created automatically when the WV-AS710A is
installed.
Notes:
• The path of the directory to store the html documents and the CGI files will depend on the user environment.
• Do not change the directory name.
• Do not delete the files installed in each directory or change their names.
Directory name Description
/usr/local/s3/bin/ Executable files of the network camera server will be stored in this directory. When the
installation script is executed, this directory will be automatically created.
/usr/local/s3/ Setting files of the network camera server will be stored in this directory. When the installation script
is executed, this directory will be automatically created.
$HTMLPath/s3/ HTML documents will be stored in this directory. When the installation script is executed, this direc-
tory will be automatically created.
$CGIPath/s3/ CGI files to be used for administration will be stored in this directory. When the installation script is
executed, this directory will be automatically created.
/var/run/ Process ID files will be created in this directory. When the installation script is executed, this directo-
ry will be automatically created.
/var/log/s3/ Log files such as an alarm log file and an access log file will be created in this directory. When the
installation script is executed, this directory will be automatically created.
/var/s3/etc/ Administration information of the disk space for recorded pictures will be stored in this directory.
When the installation script is executed, this directory will be automatically created.

Allocation of Disk Space (When "Live View & Recording" is
Selected)
To allocate disk space for recorded pictures, refer to the following.
About Disk Space for Recorded Pictures
When the network camera server runs on the "Live View & Recording" system, it is required to allocate disk space
for recorded pictures. The following functions will be available by allocating disk space for recorded pictures.
• Schedule recording
• Alarm recording
• Manual recording
Note: When the network camera server runs on a "Live View Only" system, allocating disk space for recorded pic-
tures is not necessary.
Cautions When Allocating Disk Space
Depending on the place the disk space for recorded pictures has been allocated, the performance of the network
camera server may deteriorate. To prevent deterioration of the performance, refer to the following:
• It is recommended to prepare a hard disk exclusively for recorded pictures, and to create a new partition as the
disk space for recorded pictures.
• If data which is not recorded pictures is stored in the partition created as disk space for recorded pictures, the
performance of the network camera server may deteriorate.
• After allocating disk space for recorded pictures, allocate disk space for recorded pictures of each camera in the
"Administrator's Page".

Installation
How to Allocate Disk Space
There are two following ways to allocate disk space.
• Use a whole partition as disk space for recorded pictures.
• Use a directory as disk space for recorded pictures.
Creating a New Partition to Use as Disk Space for Recorded Pictures
When preparing a new hard disk or creating a new partition on a currently used hard disk, the new partition must be
the following name to mount. It is possible to create this partition when installing Red Hat Enterprise Linux.
"/S3_DATAxx" xx: two digits number (e.g. /S3_DATA00, /S3_DATA01, etc.)
Notes:
• When a new hard disk is prepared exclusively for recorded pictures, do not create any other partition than
"/S3_DATAxx".
• Do not store any software or any data other than recorded pictures in the “/s3_DATAxx” partition.
• Select "ext2" for the file system. If "ext3" or other file systems are selected, the performance of the network cam-
era server may deteriorate.
• The network camera server will not recognize a partition if its name is not "/S3_DATAxx".
Using an Existing Partition as Disk Space for Recorded Pictures
It is possible to create a new directory on an existing partition to use as disk space for recorded pictures. In this
case, proceed as follows:
1. Create a directory in the existing partition and name the new directory "/S3_DATAxx" with the "mkdir"
command.
Note: The network camera server will not recognize a directory if its name is not "/S3_DATAxx".
2. Set a symbolic link for the created directory to be recognized as "/S3_DATAxx".
Example
If the "S3_DATA02" directory is created in the "/mnt2" partition, enter the following to set a symbolic link for the
"S3_DATA02" directory.
#mkdir /mnt2/S3_DATA02/
#ln -s /mnt2/S3_DATA02 /

About Priority on Recording
When two or more recordings are overlapped in
the same period, the network camera server will
determine the recording performance in the following order.
1. When "Data Protection Mode" is different
Regardless of the setting for "Priority", recording
will be performed at the recording interval of the
recording whose "Data Protection Mode" is
"Protect". For example, when a manual recording
(priority: 3 recorded pictures are stored in the protected disk space) is performed during a schedule
recording whose priority is set to "1" and also
"Overwrite" is selected for "Data Protection Mode",
pictures will be recorded at the recording interval
of the manual recording.
2. When "Data Protection Mode" is the same and
"Priority" is different
Recording will be performed at the recording interval of the recording whose "Priority" is the highest.
3. When "Priority" and "Data Protection" are the
same but "Recording Type" is different
Alarm recording will be performed prior to manual
recording that is prior to schedule recording.
4. When "Recording Type", "Priority", and "Data
Protection" are the same
If two or more alarm recordings overlapped, the
lately started recording will be performed.
If two or more schedule recordings overlapped,
the recording of the youngest number will be performed.
About "Interval"
• Relations among "Recording Type", "Priority",
and "Data Protection"
The network camera server will determine the
recording interval as same as described in
"About Priority on Recording" and will
perform recording.
• Relation to "Minimum Access Interval/
Maximum Frame Rate"
Basically, the network camera server records
camera pictures when acquiring camera pictures.
Therefore, recording will be performed at the
selected value for "Minimum Access
Interval/Maximum Frame Rate" in the following
cases.
When the selected value for "Interval" is the
same or longer than the selected value for
"Minimum Access Interval/Maximum Frame
Rate"
When the selected value for "Interval" is an integral multiple value of the selected value for
"Minimum Access Interval/Maximum Frame Rate",
recording will be performed at the selected
"Interval".
However, when the selected value for "Interval" is
not an integral multiple value of the selected value
for "Minimum Access Interval/Maximum Frame
Rate", recording will be performed at the selected
"Minimum Access Interval/Maximum Frame Rate".
When the selected value for "Interval" is
shorter than the selected value for "Minimum
Access Interval/Maximum Frame Rate"
In this case, recording will be performed at the
selected "Minimum Access Interval/Maximum
Frame Rate".

Alarm Recording
Click the [Recording] button of the "Setting Menu" and click the "Alarm Recording" tab.
The "Alarm Recording" menu will be displayed.
Pre-Recording
Select how many seconds before an alarm occurs,
the network camera server starts recording. When
recording in the JPEG format, alarm pictures will be
recorded at the selected interval for "Interval"
(JPEG Mode Only). When pictures are recorded in
the MPEG-4 format, recording interval differs
depending on the transmission speed of cameras.
Duration: --- (None), 2 Sec., 3 Sec., 5 Sec., 10
Sec., 20 Sec., 30 Sec., 60 Sec., 90 Sec., 120
Sec., 180 Sec.
Interval (JPEG Mode Only): 0.066 Sec. (15fps),
Recording
Select "ON" or "OFF" to record camera pictures, or
not, when an alarm occurs at the camera site.
Notes:
• "Priority" of alarm recording is "2" and cannot
be changed.
• In the case where disk space is not allocated to
a camera at which an alarm occurred, or when
disk space for the camera is full, it will not be
possible to record alarm pictures.
• To record alarm pictures, it is required to validate "Panasonic Protocol" for cameras or network interface unit, and it is also required to
register the IP address of the network camera
server as recipient.
• It is possible to notify through TCP/IP only when
devices transmitting "Panasonic Protocol" and
the network camera server are IP reachable.
• It is not possible to record alarm pictures by the
internal alarm of a camera connected to a network interface unit.
• It will be impossible to identify which camera is
transmitting an alarm signal if a router is
installed between a camera site and the network camera server, and when sharing an IP
address at the center site for two or more cameras using network address translation. In this
case, the network camera server will regard the
camera with the lowest camera number as the
camera transmitting the alarm signal.

About Backup and Restoration
The configuration data and recording picture data can
be backed up and restored. A backup is to copy data
into other directory than the original disk space on the
network camera server. The configuration data is
backed up in a user PC and the picture data is backed
up in the specified directory in the server PC. Contrary
to that, restoration is to return the data back to the
original directory.
Configuration data
• The configuration data set up on the administrator’s
page can be backed up as a file in other devices
such as a user PC.
• Restoration of the configuration data will help the
server PC to easily reproduce the same circumstance as set in the data when the software WVAS710A is re-installed.
• Restoration of the configuration data can be used
for not only backed up data but also newly created
data intended for a test run. Perform the disk space
allocation on the server PC as necessary after the
restoration.
5 Restore execution
Restoration is performed for the data selectively
specified in the backup data list. A restoration number to data will be given depending on the recorded
time and camera number. When performed,
restoration will only register a directory in the database of the WV-AS710A without making a data
copy, thus you do not need to allocate a specific
disk space. The registered data are called as
"Restored Data".
6 Browsing restored picture
The restored data are displayed in the list for
searching and playback.
7 Deletion of restored data directory
Deletion is also possible in the list by clicking a
delete button to cancel a registered directory.
8 Deletion of restored picture
To delete the picture data that is cancelled from the
restored list, use "rm" command.
A lately operated function will be rejected when
another function is in process. A schedule backup
will be performed after completion of the ongoing
function when overlapped.
Recorded Picture data
1 Backup execution
The recorded picture data can be backed up in a
specified directory on the server PC. Allocate a
space for the backup picture data. Backup is performed when the manual backup menu is operated
or the assigned schedule time comes.
2 Confirmation after backup
The list of backup data will be displayed for confirmation when the "Backed-up Data List" button is
clicked.
3 Copy of backup data
As necessary, the backup data can be copied to
external devices by using "ftp" command, and vice
versa. When schedule backup is performed, copy
the data before the next schedule time comes
because the specified directory may be overwritten.
4 Restore backup data
The backup data in the external devices can be
copied back to the server PC by using "ftp" command.
