Precautions
In case of problem
Do not use the video server if smoke or a
strange odour comes from the unit, or if it seems
not to function correctly. Disconnect the power
cord immediately, and consult your dealer (or a
Sanyo Authorized Service Centre).
Do not open or modify
Do not open the cabinet, as it may be dangerous
and cause damage to the unit. For internal
settings and repairs, consult your dealer (or a
Sanyo Authorized Service Centre).
Do not put objects inside the unit
Make sure that no metal objects or flammable
substance get inside the video server. If used
with a foreign object inside, it could cause a fire,
short-circuits or damages.
If water or a liquid gets inside the video server,
disconnect the power cord immediately, and
consult your dealer (or a Sanyo Authorized
Service Centre). Be careful to protect the video
server from rain, sea water, etc.
Be careful when handling the unit
To prevent damages, do not drop the video
server or subject it to strong shock or vibration.
Install away from electric or magnetic
fields
If installed close to a TV, radio transmitter,
magnet, electric motor, transformer, audio
speakers the magnetic field they generate will
distort the image.
Protect from humidity and dust
To prevent damages to the video server, do not
install it where there is greasy smoke or steam,
where the dampness may get too high, or where
there is a lot of dust.
Protect from high temperatures
Do not install close to stoves, or other heat
generating devices, such as spotlights, etc., or
where it could be subject to direct sunlight, as
that could cause deformation, discoloration or
other damages.
Be careful when installing close to the ceiling, in
a kitchen or boiler room, as the temperature may
raise to high levels.
Install where the temperature range will stay
between –10°C and 50°C. (no condensation)
Cleaning
Dirt can be removed from the cabinet by
•
wiping it with a soft cloth. To remove stains,
wipe with a soft cloth moistened with a soft
detergent solution and wrung dry, then wipe
dry with dry soft cloth.
Do not use benzine, thinner or other
•
chemical product on the cabinet, as that may
cause deformation and paint peeling. Before
using a chemical cloth, make sure to read all
accompanying instructions. Make sure that
no plastic or rubber material comes in contact
with the cabinet for a long period of time, as
that may cause damage or paint peeling.

Web Server Function
This video server is equipped with a web server
function. The video server can be accessed
using a computer’s web browser in order to view
images for up to four input signals (4 screen split
screen). In addition, up to a maximum of 16
users can simultaneously access a single video
server on the network.
Network Connections
This video server 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 video server can also be used in a wireless
LAN environment by installing the specified
wireless LAN card.
Adoption of JPEG2000
The images captured by the video server 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 video server can also be connected to
an external alarm sensor that is set to detect
abnormalities, so that images can be recorded
and played back when an alarm occurs.
Communication function (RS-485)
Communication output via SSP (Sanyo Security
Protocol) (using the RS-485 connector) allows
the video server to be controlled by other
devices such as cameras and multiplexers by
remote control.

Network Video Server (Wired LAN) Settings
3 NETWORK SET Settings
These settings are used in order to connect the video server to the network. After these settings have
been completed, you may also have to make wireless LAN settings or PPP settings. More than one
video server can be connected to the same network, but in order to do this, you will need to make
settings for each video server such as assigning separate IP addresses before connecting the video
server’s to the network.

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,

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. 21),
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. 19)
NETWORK SPEED
5
This sets the speed of data transmission by the
video server.
Available settings:
64, 128, 256, 512, 1024 (Kbps), NO LIMIT
(Default setting: No limit for transmission speed)
HTTP PORT NUMBER
6
(default setting: 80)
This setting is used when more than one video
server 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 video
server 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 video server is connected to the
network.

If a user at Administrator level accesses a video
MAC ADDRESS display
7
This shows the Mac address for the video server.
Note:
Up to a maximum of 16 individual users can access
•
a single video server on the network at the same
time. However, only one user out of this maximum
of 16 users can be accessing at Operator or
Administrator level at any one time.
Depending on the network environment, it may not
•
be possible for 16 users to be connected to a video
server at the same time. Once a user has accessed
a video server, the network may not allow further
accesses, so if this happens, change the resolution
for the transferred data (by reducing it) or change
the compression ratio (by increasing it) to reduce the
volume of data being transferred.
If a 17th user tries to access a video server, the
•
message “THE UNIT IS BUSY!” will be displayed on
their screen. Depending on the network
environment, the message “THE UNIT IS BUSY!”
may be displayed on a user’s computer screen even
when less than 16 users are accessing a video
server.

server while a user at Operator level is accessing
the video server, the Administrator level user will
have priority. In such cases, the Operator level user
will be disconnected and the message “THE UNIT
IS DISCONNECTED!” will be displayed on their
screen.
If an Operator or Administrator attempts to access
•
the video server while another user with the same
access level is accessing the video server, the
second access will have priority. In such cases, the
first access will be disconnected, and the message
“THE AUTHORIZED USER LOGGED IN!” will be
displayed on that user’s computer screen.
Depending on the network environment, the speed
•
of data transmission to users may drop if the
number of users accessing the same video server
increases, and operations such as refreshing of
images may become delayed.
Example: To change the password for the
Administrator level (ID3) to “1234”
Passwords can consist of between 4 and 8
numerals.
Delete the current password (“3333”) in
☞
the password column for ID3, type “1234”
as the new password for ID3, and then
click the [SET] button.
The following window will be displayed.
Check that the details are correct, and then
close the window.

(When a password has been changed)
When the video server and computer are
connected once more, the password entry
screen will be displayed, so check the username
and type in the new password (“1234”) in the
password column for ID3.
