Preparation

The Preparation section explains what the administrator has to prepare for monitoring images after installation and connection of the camera.

Tips

• Download the latest installer or Application Guide of SNC toolbox from the following URL: http://www.sony.net/ipela/snc

• SNC toolbox stands for Sony Network Camera toolbox.

Preparation

Assigning the IP Address to the Camera

To connect the camera to a network, you need to assign a new IP address to the camera when you install it for the first time.

Before starting, connect the camera, referring to “Connecting the Camera to a Local Network” in the supplied Installation Manual. Consult the administrator of the network about the assigned IP address.

Assigning an IP address using SNC toolbox

Insert the CD-ROM in your CD-ROM drive. A cover page appears automatically in your Web browser. If it does not appear automatically in the Web browser, double-click the index.htm file on the CD-ROM.

When you are using Windows Vista, the “Auto play” pop-up may appear.

Click the Setup icon of SNC toolbox. The “File Download” dialog appears.

Click File Open.

Install “SNC toolbox” on your computer using the wizard. For details of the software installation and usage, see the Application Guide.

Notes

• If Automatic configuration is enabled in the Local

Area Network (LAN) settings of Internet Explorer, the image may not be displayed. In that case, disable Automatic configuration and set the Proxy server manually. For the setting of the Proxy server, consult your network administrator.

• When you install ActiveX Control, you should be logged in to the computer as Administrator.

Precautions for Preventing Access to the Camera by an Unintended Third Party

The camera may be accessed by an unintended third party on the network, depending on the usage environment. Changing the user name and password of the camera administrator from the default settings is highly recommended for security reasons. If the camera is accessed by an unintended third party, there may be an undesired effect, such as operations or settings to block monitoring, etc.

Set the user name and password of the administrator of the camera. For details, refer to “Setting the Security — Security Menu” in the Administrator menu on page

62.

Check the Referer check checkbox. For details, refer to “Setting the Security — Security Menu” in the Administrator menu on page

62.

When you use the e-Mail (SMTP) function, set the TLS function to On. Use a mail server that supports the TLS function. For details, refer to “Sending an Image via E-mail — e-Mail (SMTP) Menu” in the Administrator menu on page 67.

The camera can be fraudulently accessed in a network environment where a device is connected or connectable to the network without the administrator's permission, or a PC or other network device connected to the network can be used without any permission. Connect to these environments at your own risk. To prevent unauthorized access to the camera, set it according to the following steps.

Do not use the browser you use to set the camera to access other websites while you set or after setting the camera. You will remain logged in to the camera as long as the browser is open, so to prevent an unintended third party's use or execution of malicious programs, close the browser after you finish setting the camera.

How to set up

Set the network address of the camera using SNC toolbox. For details about how to use SNC toolbox, refer to the application guide. After this step, do not use SNC toolbox to change the network settings of the camera. Use SNC toolbox to search for the camera only.

Hereafter, use the camera using the SSL connection. When you use the FTP server or the FTP client function, use them in an environment where the network cannot be intercepted by a third party. The SSL connection cannot be used for the FTP server or the FTP client function.

Note

The model on sale in China does not support the SSL function.

Start the web browser and set the SSL function to Enable in the camera settings. For details, refer to “Setting the Security — Security Menu” in the Administrator menu on page

62.

Restart the web browser and access the camera again.

Operating the Camera

Sending a monitor image via e-mail

You can send a captured still image by attaching it to an e-mail. To use this function, you need to make e-Mail (SMTP) active and set the address in the Trigger menu of the Administrator menu properly (page 83).

Click e-Mail (SMTP) on the Trigger panel. The still image of the moment you click is captured, and your e-mail with the image file attached is sent to the specified mail address.

Note

The function may not operate correctly if you use personal firewall software or antivirus software on your computer. In that case, disable the software or select the TCP mode.

Select TCP, Unicast or Multicast from the Connection drop-down list in the Others panel.

TCP: This is normally selected.

When TCP is selected, HTTP communication is adopted for video communications. HTTP is the protocol used for reading the usual Web page. In an environment capable of reading Web pages, you can watch video by selecting the TCP port.

If Day/Night mode in the Trigger-Day/Night menu (page 84) is set to Auto, you cannot control the Day/ Night function by clicking Day/Night.

Playing an audio file stored in the camera

You can play an audio file previously stored in the camera using the SNC audio upload tool. To use this function, you need to make Voice alert1, Voice alert2 and Voice alert3 active in the Trigger menu of the Administrator menu (page 85).

Click Voi ce a le rt1 , Voice alert2 or Voice alert3 on the Trigger panel. Playback of the selected audio file starts and the playback sound is output from the speaker connected to the camera.

Unicast: When Unicast is selected, RTP (Realtime Transport Protocol) is adopted for video communications. Since RTP is the protocol for running video data, the video playback is smoother than when TCP (HTTP) is selected. If a firewall is installed between the camera and the computer, or depending on the network environment, video may not play back properly when Unicast is selected. In this case, select TCP.

Multicast: This protocol is selectable when Multicast streaming (page 41) is On. When Multicast is selected, RTP (Real-time Transport

Protocol) and UDP multicast techniques are adopted for video transmission. By selecting it, the network transmission load of the camera can be reduced. If a router that does not correspond to a multicast or firewall is installed between the camera and the computer, video may not play back properly. In this case, select TCP or Unicast.
