Features

Web Server Function

This camera is equipped with a web server function. The camera can be accessed using a computer’s web browser in order to view the camera images. In addition, up to a maximum of 16 users can simultaneously access a single camera on the network.

Network Connections

This camera is equipped with both an Ethernet connector and an RS-232C connector, allowing it to be connected to a variety of different network environments, such as LANs and the Internet.

Wireless LAN Compatibility

The camera can also be used in a wireless LAN environment by installing the specified wireless LAN card.

Adoption of JPEG2000

The images captured by the camera are compressed using the JPEG2000 format before transmission. In comparison to conventional JPEG formats, this format produces very little image deterioration and allows large volumes of data to be transmitted quickly (maximum 30 fps).

Note: The transmission rate will vary depending

on individual network conditions. A network environment that can transmit data at high speeds is required in order to transmit data at 30 fps.

Alarm Recording and Playback Functions

The built-in motion sensor detects movement, and the camera can also be connected to an external alarm sensor (such as a switch) that is set to detect abnormalities, so that images can be recorded and played back when an alarm occurs.

Day/Night Function

The day/night function allows the camera to adapt to a variety of different luminance conditions so that color images are monitored during daytime, but under conditions of low illumination such as nighttime, it switches automatically to black & white.

Flange Back Adjustment

The flange back is the distance between the lens (sold separately) and the image capturing surface of the camera. It is adjusted at the time of shipment from the factory to accommodate the types of lenses that are generally assumed to be in use.

Accordingly, the flange back does not normally need to be adjusted. However, if attaching a zoom lens and changing from wide angle to telephoto, the images may not be captured in proper focus, and so in such cases the flange back should always be adjusted by following the procedure given below.

Connect a coaxial cable between the camera output connector (MONITOR OUT) of the camera and the monitor’s video connector (VIDEO IN).

Turn on the camera’s power.

Adjust the flange back while viewing the camera images on the monitor.

Use a Phillips screwdriver to loosen the flange back locking screws.

Move the zoom lens to the telephoto setting, and then use the lens focus ring to adjust the focus.

Move the zoom lens to the wide angle setting, and then use the flange back adjustment dial to adjust the focus.

Set the image transmission speed from the drop-down list box. Images can be transmitted at maximum speed depending on the network environment that the camera is connected to.

For example, if the maximum transmission speed for the network being connected to is 15 fps, then the images can only be transmitted at a maximum speed of 15 fps, even if the frame rate is set to “MID 3” or higher.

Available settings:

BASIC (5 fps), MID 1 (10), MID 2 (15), MID 3 (20), HIGH (30)

PICTURE QUALITY setting

(default setting: MID 2)

Use the drop-down list box to select the image quality (image compression ratio). If a higher compression ratio is used (BASIC), the volume of image data becomes smaller (the amount of image deterioration becomes greater) and the transmission speed becomes faster.

Available settings:

BASIC, MID 1, MID 2, MID 3, HIGH

Note: Alarm recording is carried out at the

picture quality that is specified in the alarm recording settings, not at the setting that is made here. (p. 41)

drop-down list box. The volume of data transmitted will be larger when a higher resolution is selected.

Use the drop-down list box to set the

•

enlargement ratio to x2 or x4 (when the image size is 160x120) or x2 (when the image size is 320x240). The image will appear coarser when a greater enlargement ratio is selected.

IMAGE MODE setting

(default setting: COLOR)

Select whether live images are to be displayed in color or black and white from the drop-down list box.

If you select “GRAY” for black and white images, the amount of data transmitted will be reduced, so that the transmission speed can be increased.

Note: This setting is the image mode (color or

black & white) for the browser display. It is not the same as the DAY/NIGHT setting.

VIEW] or [VIEW FRAME] menu select button is clicked.

When the other menu select buttons are

clicked, the respective setting screens are displayed.

Note:

When images that are compressed using

•

JPEG2000 are played back, the image refresh rate will vary depending on the performance specifications of the computer being used. In addition, if other applications besides the web browser are running, this may also cause the image refresh rate to become slower or may result in unstable operation. You should avoid running other applications at the same time as much as possible.

Set the FRAME RATE, PICTURE QUALITY

(COMPRESSION RATIO) and RESOLUTION settings to levels that will not interfere with the operation of the network. If the amount of data being transferred is too large for the network environment, it may have an adverse effect on other network operations.

The picture quality and image resolution cannot be

Network Camera (Wired LAN) Settings

3 NETWORK SET Settings

These settings are used in order to connect the camera to the network. After these settings have been completed, you may also have to make wireless LAN settings or PPP settings. More than one camera can be connected to the same network, but in order to do this, you will need to make settings for each camera such as assigning separate IP addresses before connecting the cameras to the network.

☞

Click the [NETWORK] menu select button.

The NETWORK SET screen will be displayed, and the default settings for each item will be displayed automatically.

Once you have completed making the settings, click the [SET] button.

Note: Check with the network system

administrator or Internet Service Provider if you need to change the IP address 1, subnet mask 2 or gateway 3 settings.

Set the password.

There are three access levels available (User, Operator and Administrator) and separate passwords can be set for each level. The factory default settings are shown in Table 1 (p. 23), and the range of operations varies as indicated for each access level.

Note: It is recommended that you change the

passwords whenever possible for security purposes. (p. 21)

NETWORK SPEED

This sets the speed of data transmission by the camera.

Available settings: 64, 128, 256, 512, 1024 (Kbps), NO LIMIT

(Default setting: No limit for transmission speed)

HTTP PORT NUMBER

(default setting: 80)

This setting is used when more than one camera is connected to a broadband router and a single IP address for that router is being used to make the images being monitored by the camera publicly available over the Internet. Refer to the documentation provided with the broadband router for further details.

Normally the HTTP PORT NUMBER setting should be left “80” without being changed, even if more than one camera is connected to the network.
