The VA-SW2000 archiving software is an
application software that lets you record
JPEG2000 images from network cameras and
network video servers onto the hard drive of a
computer, and to play back these recorded
images.
The computer that the VA-SW2000 software is
installed on becomes an “image server”, so that
the images that have been recorded on that
computer can be displayed as live images or
recorded images by other computers that are
also connected to the network (client computers).
● JPEG2000 images from up to a maximum of
16 cameras can be recorded simultaneously.
In addition, the recording condition can be set
individually as desired for each camera that is
connected.
● Via the network, up to a maximum of 16 users
on client computers can access the recorded
images for recording and playing back. In
addition, the access for users can be
controlled by means of passwords.
● The image server can simultaneously record
images while processing access requests for
recording and playback from client
computers.
● Recording and playback images can be
viewed in a single-screen or up to a 16screen split screen display. In addition, both
live images and playback images can be
displayed as required.
● Normal playback and alarm recording are
both available, and you can set parameters
such as the recording rate and resolution for
both types of recording. You can also set
recording to take place in real time or as timelapse recording as required.
● An alarm notification function is also
available, so that if an alarm is triggered at
one of the cameras on the network, an
electronic alarm playback message with a
single alarm image attached can be sent to
up to five designated e-mail addresses.
● Hardware key (USB type)
Note: The hardware key must be inserted
into the USB port in order to use this
software.

network video servers.

1 Network camera
Each network camera is connected directly to
the image server.
2 Network video server
Normal monitoring cameras are connected to
the image server via a network video server.
Up to a maximum of four monitoring cameras
can be connected to a single network video
server.
3 Camera number
This is a number that is assigned to each
camera for use in the system. Up to a
maximum of 16 cameras can be connected to
the network archiving system, so that camera
numbers from 1 to 16 are available, but the
numbers cannot be duplicated.
4 Camera ID
This is an identifier that the image server uses
to specify cameras. The camera IDs may not
be duplicated within the network archiving
system.
•
Camera IDs consist of five alphanumeric
characters.
The IDs consist of a basic ID (4 characters)
and a serial number (0 to 3). When a basic
ID is registered, the network camera or
network video server automatically assigns
the serial number.

(Setting examples)
☞ For network cameras
Basic ID entered: CCAM → Camera ID:
CCAM0
☞ For a network video server
Basic ID entered: SCAM → Camera ID:
SCAM0 (1 to 3)
•
The Administrator registers camera IDs
at the image server.
When a camera is connected to the
network, the Administrator registers the
camera ID using the network archiving
software (Camset).
•
Camera IDs cannot be changed by
general users.
Camera IDs are camera identifiers. They
are not specific to any particular camera
unit, so if a particular camera has a
problem and needs to be replaced, you do
not need to change the camera ID.
Note: If your system requires protection
from power outages, you should use
an uninterrupted power supply
(UPS). If running the system for
extended periods, it is also
recommended that you periodically
shut the system down and restart it
in order to ensure more stable
system operation.

SYSTEM CONFIGURATION AND IMAGE
SERVER
In order to use this system, you need to install the network archiving software to the computer that is to
be used as the image server, and you need to install the JPEG2000 plug-in to the computers that are to
be used as the client computers.
After installing the software for this system, you can then set the recording conditions for the network
cameras and video server from the image server, and record images onto the image server.
The client computers can be used to view, search and play back images that have been recorded by the
image server.
Note: The speed of recording and viewing live/playback images is dependent on factors such
as the network environment and the computer performance.

should normally select “ALL SET” so that all
three software programs are installed together.
Note: Checking for Java 2 Runtime
Before installing the software, check if
Java 2 Runtime has already been
installed on the image server. If Java 2
Runtime Ver. 1.4 or later has already
been installed, you must uninstall it.
JAVA is a trademark or registered trademark of
Sun Microsystems, Inc. in the United States of
America and other countries.
