CONTROL

Operations possible with PC control Network settings

z Menu settings, recording, playback, and other similar

operations will be possible from the PC screen.

z Up to a maximum of four PCs can be simultaneously

connected to a single DVR (Digital Video Recorder). (Example)

z Users with user level ID1: 3 PCs z Users with user level ID2 or ID3: 1 PC

z Control of the DVR can be freely switched from the unit

itself to the PC and vice versa. Note that operation of the unit will not be affected by simply connecting a cable.

z In order to provide security for computer control, three

types of password are set in accordance with the different user levels, and this ensures that three different levels of restrictions can be introduced for operations. (JP. 23)

z When this unit is being used while connected to a

network, network settings must be made on the unit itself. See INSTRUCTION MANUAL “Network settings” for more details.

z TCP/IP settings must be made on the connected PCs

and in accordance with the operating system (OS) being used on each.

z When a pre-existing network is being used, a check

must be carried out by that network’s administrator to confirm that IP addresses do not coincide with other IP addresses already in use.

Saving and playing back sound

z The dedicated application DVR Viewer (Ver. 1.5 or

later) must be installed on the system in order to store or playback audio on a networked PC or to playback sound-containing video that has been stored on a PC, CompactFlash card, or the like. Please download this software from our homepage (see below).

2 PREPARING FOR NETWORK CONTROL

Controlling from a PC

1 Launch the PC’s web browser.

Internet Explorer versions 5.0 and later are supported. In terms of OS, Windows 98, 98SE, Me, NT4.0, 2000, and XP are supported.

z If the Java Script run-time error message is displayed

while Internet Explorer is being used, modify that application’s settings as follows:

(1) Select menus in the sequence [Tools] → [Internet

Options] → [Advanced].

(2) Uncheck “Display a notification about every script

error” from the “Advanced” screen, and check “Disable script debugging”.

3 Enter a password (for verification

purposes).

Enter a [User name] and a verification-use [Password] on the [Connect to 192.168.0.1] screen, and then click [OK]. If you entered an incorrect password, the password entry screen will appear once again and you will be prompted to re-input the password.

z Passwords should be setup in advance for the

hardware environment's different user levels. At the time of purchase, the password settings (i.e., user name and password) will be as described on P. 23.

z If you save the [User name] and [Password] that have

been entered, verification will be carried out automatically on subsequent occasions, and they will not need to be entered again. Note, however, that it may not be possible to save a password other than that used for the default connection.

z Up to four PCs can be connected simultaneously to a

single DVR. Note, however, that users with user level ID2 or ID3 are restricted to use of one PC.

2 Enter the URL.

Enter the unit’s URL in the browser’s address bar and then press [Enter]. (Note that the URL should contain the IP address specified using the unit’s network settings.) To start, enter “http://192.168.0.1/” as the default setting.

z If a value other than “80” is set as the default port value,

enter a colon (:) and then the port number after the IP address. For example, if the port number was set as “81”, you should enter http://192.168.0.1:81/

z If no web browser is installed on the PC, Internet

Explorer must be installed before proceeding.

z When four PCs are connected and access is made from

a different PC using the highest user level, the mostrecent user of a lower level to have accessed the unit will be automatically disconnected and priority will be given to the upper-level user. An error message will appear on the disconnected

user’s PC. (JP. 7)

z When [Cancel] is clicked after repeated input of an

incorrect password, the authentication error message will be displayed.

z Even if computer control is being carried out, clicking a

button for which you do not have authorization will result in the password input screen being displayed to verify allocation of the required user level.

z In the case of certain PC performance levels and

specifications, a portion of the video may not be displayed. If this is the case, go to [Tools]→ [Internet Options] → [Temporary Internet Files] → [Settings] in Internet Explorer, and then reduce “Amount of disk space to use”.

5 SAVING RECORDED IMAGES

You can use the procedures described below to copy recorded images to the hard disk’s archive area or to download images to a PC or the like. These functions should be used to backup important images from the normal recording area and the alarm recording area.
