■ 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).
• Language
Screens can be displayed in American English, British English, or Japanese. Prepare the Windows appropriate
to the language you wish to use.

the camera picture is clicked, the camera pans or
tilts toward the clicked direction. (When browsing
MPEG-4, panning and tilting by clicking on the
camera picture is not possible.) The range of panning and tilting by one click differs depending on
the distance between the center point and the
clicked point. For example, if you click the right
edge, the camera pans widely toward the right
side. Tilting is performed in the same way as panning. The camera will not move if the clicked point
is just around the center point.
Notes:
• Pan/tilt move is possible only when one of the
following cameras is selected.
• WV-NS324
• WV-NM100 (only when JPEG delivering
