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)

Alarm Detection and Recording

A Using Only Post-alarm Recording

Set “BUFFERING AREA” to “(PRE/POST) 0/10”.

When an alarm is detected, the ratio will be set to Pre = 0 (zero)/Post = 10. In other words, only post-alarm recording will be set.

If an alarm is detected in the live image screen, the indicators will illuminate as follows and the images will be recorded into the internal memory.

(1) Alarm not detected (all indicators are

off)

(2) An alarm is detected and alarm data is

recorded automatically into the internal memory

(Red) (Orange)

(3) Recording of alarm data into the

internal memory is complete

Once this happens, the recorded data can then be played back.

B Pre-alarm/Post-alarm Recording

When an alarm is detected, recording is assigned between the pre- and post-alarm recording areas in the ratio specified. You can increase or decrease the length of time that images are recorded before an alarm is detected.

Set “BUFFERING AREA” to “(PRE/POST) 2/8”.

If an alarm is detected in the live image screen, the indicators will illuminate as follows and the images will be recorded into the internal memory.

(1) Alarm not detected (all indicators are

off)

(2) Pre-alarm recording starts

automatically

Images are recorded in the pre-alarm recording area (PRE 2).

Recording New Alarm Data

If recording new alarm data into the camera’s internal memory, you should delete the old data that is recorded in the memory. This will free up memory space so that the new alarm data can be recorded. (p. 48)

Note:

If an expansion memory card (CF) is

•

installed, the alarm data will first be recorded into the camera’s internal memory, and then it will be automatically transferred to the memory card. This is useful for times when you want to record more than one alarm event.

The alarm data in the internal memory can

•

be saved into a computer as still images. Furthermore, the data can also be downloaded as continuous images.

Fixed Settings During Pre/Post-Alarm Recording

If the pre-alarm/post-alarm recording area ratio is set to something from 1/9 to 5/5 so that pre-alarm recording can be carried out, the transmission settings (PICTURE QUALITY, RESOLUTION and IMAGE MODE (COLOR)) are fixed.

Example 1: If “PRIORITY” is set to “PICTURE

The image quality during pre- and post-alarm recording will be fixed at “HIGH”.

QUALITY”

Example 2: If “PRIORITY” is set to “TIME”

The image quality during pre- and post-alarm recording will be fixed at “MID1”.

When alarm data is recorded into the camera’s internal memory, the settings that are fixed during pre- and post-alarm recording will be canceled. However, if a memory card is inserted, the settings will be fixed until the recording area becomes full.

Glossary of Terms

A system whereby a computer (HTTP server) that hosts web pages sends information that is stored by a user’s computer, so that when that user visits the same web page a second time, the information that has been automatically saved is transmitted back to the HTTP server. For example, it assigns a unique number to the information from a user and remembers part of the information that the user has entered, so that next time the user accesses the web page, the same information does not need to be entered all over again.

Ethernet

There are a variety of different types of computer network. Ethernet is a type of network that was developed by Xerox Corporation.

Firewall

A firewall is like a barrier between an outside network (the Internet) and a local network (LAN). It is a security measure that is used to prevent unauthorized access to information by outsiders.

Firmware

Software that is used to operate a device.

Frame rate

This is an indication of how many times an image is refreshed in a single second when images are being displayed or moving images are being played back. If the value (fps) is large, the rate at which images are refreshed is faster, but this setting is a theoretical maximum value, and so if the images are complex, the images may be refreshed even more slowly. The set frame rate may not be attained for other reasons also, such as the image loading time and the performance of the computer being used.

FTP (File Transfer Protocol)

A protocol (communication standard) for transmitting files via the Internet. This communication protocol allows files and data to be transferred via the Web, whereas previously it was only possible using e-mail.

Hard disk

A storage device for large quantities of data that is used by equipment such as computers. It contains a flat disc that is coated with magnetic particles, and this disc spins around and a magnetized head is used to read the data stored on the disc. The data can be read at extremely fast speeds, giving it excellent data searching performance.

HTML file

An HTML file is a text file that is written in the HTML language (a language that is mainly used to create web pages). The file extensions used are .htm and .html.

IP address

A code that allocates “addresses” for each individual computer and other device on the Internet or in a network. Devices that communicate by IP all must have an IP address assigned to them. Devices that are connected to the Internet are assigned a unique global IP address so that no two devices have the same address. IP addresses consist of a network ID and a host ID, and the network ID identifies the address as Class A, B or C.

JPEG2000 (Joint Photographic Experts Group)

An image file compression standard that was formulated by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO). It provides higher compression ratios and higher quality than conventional JPEG.

LAN (Local Area Network)

A computer network that is located within a relatively small area, such as a single floor of a company building.

Glossary of Terms

MAC address (Media Access Control address)

A 12-digit hexadecimal identification number that is assigned to LAN cards and LAN boards in a computer. Complex device arrangements may use IP addresses, but whereas IP addresses are assigned as required by a network system administrator, MAC addresses are burned into the LAN card at the time of manufacture. Ethernet uses the MAC address as the basis for transmission of data.

Memory

A memory device is a semiconductor device that stores digital data in units of single bits (binary digits) that consist of either 0s or 1s.

Modem

A device that converts between analog signals (from telephone lines) and digital signals (such as from computers).

Network

A variety of computers and other devices that are connected together by means of cables (wired) or via a wireless LAN so that they can exchange data with each other.

Port number

This is a number that is used to identify applications on the Internet. For example, SMTP for e-mail is normally 25 and HTTP (web-related software) is usually 80.

PPP (Point to Point Protocol)

A protocol (communication standard) that determines the process by which two points (computers) are connected across a network using telephone lines.

Resolution

This indicates the quality of images. The numbers represent the degree of detail for the images during printing or displaying, and the units used are “dpi” (dots per inch).

Router

A device that connects one network to another network. It looks up IP addresses for network devices and determines what route should be used for the information to be transmitted to and from these devices.

SMTP (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol)

A protocol (communication standard) for sending and receiving electronic mail via the Internet and Intranets. It controls the flow of mail between servers and is also used when clients send mail.

Stop bit

A symbol that is added at the end of a byte of data (8 bits) during data transmission to indicate the end of that byte.

Subnet mask

An IP address consists of a network ID and a host ID. A subnet mask is used to mask part of an IP address in order to specify whether the IP address is on a local or a remote network.

TCP/IP (Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol)

A network protocol (communication standard) that was developed by the Network Project that was funded by the United States Department of Defense. It can be thought of as the communication technology that makes it possible to send and receive data over the Internet. Computers that are connected via the Internet use this protocol, and it works regardless of the type of device. Basically IP controls the sending of data in separate blocks called “packets”, and TCP receives these packets, opens them to look at their contents, and then puts all of them back together into one.

URL (Uniform Resource Locator)

A method of specifying a resource on the Internet. An example of an URL that is used to access a website on the Internet is “http://www.sanyo.com/”.

Web browser

Software that is used to view web pages. The two most commonly-used web browsers are Microsoft Internet Explorer and Netscape navigator from Netscape Communications.

Pre-alarm and post-alarm recording

Pre-alarm and post-alarm recording involve recording data according to a selected ratio in the camera’s internal memory. The default ratio is pre-alarm = 0 / post-alarm = 10. When an alarm is detected in this condition, only post-alarm images are recorded in the camera’s internal memory.

Post-alarm recording is the recording of alarm data after an alarm has been detected by an external sensor or motion detector. When an alarm is detected, the alarm data is recorded into the internal memory according to the ratio selected. If the ratio is 0/10, all of the available memory space is devoted to post-alarm recording.

Pre-alarm recording sequentially records alarm images from immediately before the alarm was detected according to the ratio selected. When an alarm is detected, images from before the alarm that fall within the amount specified by the ratio selected are recorded in the pre-alarm area of the internal memory.

For example, if the alarm recording area of the internal memory is set to a ratio of 3/7, 30% of the available area is devoted to recording images from immediately before the alarm is detected. Actual alarm images are then recorded in the remaining 70%, and the pre-alarm and post-alarm recordings are treated as a single alarm event.

When alarm images are played back, the images can be viewed continuously starting from the first images recorded immediately before the alarm was detected. The alarm recording area ratio is an important point for consideration when making settings.

Troubleshooting

If the camera cannot be connected

If the live image screen does not appear when you type the camera’s IP address into the location bar of the web browser, check the following items.

Is the Ethernet cable connected correctly?

•

If the cable is not connected correctly, the link indicator at the rear of the camera will not be illuminated. Check the cable connection.

Note: Cross-type and straight-type Ethernet

cables are available. To connect the camera directly to a computer, you need to use a cross-type cable.

Is the link indicator flashing?

•

If the link indicator is illuminated steadily, it means that the cable is connected to the camera but communication is not possible.

The default network settings for the camera are as follows.

IP address: 192.168.0.2

•

Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0

•

Gateway: 192.168.0.1

•

Port number: 80

•

If you forget the IP Address

If you forget the camera’s IP address, you can check it using the following procedure.

Set pin 1 of the PC/MODEM select switch at the rear of the camera to the “MODEM” setting, turn off the camera’s power, wait three seconds or more and then turn the power back on.

Set pin 1 of the PC/MODEM select switch at the rear of the camera to the “PC” setting, turn off the camera’s power, wait three seconds or more and then turn the power back on.

Start the web browser and point it to “http://192.168.0.2/”.

Check the network settings. (p. 20)

Turn on and off the camera’s power.

Return the computer’s IP address to its original setting.

Note:

If the password for the Administrator level ID

•

has been changed, be careful not to forget the password.

Check that none of the other devices that are

•

connected to the network have a duplicate IP address of “192.168.0.2”.
