You can capture a still image at the moment when a trigger occurs by an external sensor input, the built-in activity detection function or a manual trigger button. The captured still image is recorded in the built-in memory or the ATA memory card. You can also record a still image periodically.

Using the Supplied Setup Program

To connect the camera to a network, you need to assign a new IP address to the camera when you installed the camera for the first time. You can assign an IP address in two ways:
• Using the setup program stored in the supplied CD­ROM (see page 49)
• Using the ARP (Address Resolution Protocol) commands (see page 51)
This section explains how to assign an IP address to the camera using the supplied setup program and configure the network. The setup program also allows the communication bandwidth setting and date and time setting.
The program detects the SNC-RZ30 cameras connected to the local network and lists them on the Network tab window.
Before starting, connect the camera to a computer or a local network, referring to “Assigning the IP Address to the Camera” in the supplied Installation Manual.

Assigning the IP Address Using the Setup Program

1
Insert the supplied CD-ROM disc into your CD­ROM drive.
2
Double-click the Setup folder in the CD-ROM drive.
3
Double-click Setup.exe.
4
Install the IP Setup Program to your computer following the wizard displayed. If the Software License Agreement is displayed, read it carefully and accept the agreement to continue the installation.
5
Start the IP Setup Program.
6
Click on the camera you want to assign a new IP address in the list. The network settings for the selected camera are displayed.

Assigning the IP Address to the Camera Using ARP Commands

This section explains how to assign an IP address to the camera using ARP (Address Resolution Protocol) commands without using the supplied setup program.
Note
Enter the ARP commands within 5 minutes after the power of the camera is turned on.
1
Open the DOS window on the computer.
2
Enter the IP address and the MAC address of the camera you want assign a new IP address to, using the following ARP commands.
arp -s <Camera's IP address> <Camera's MAC address> ping -t <Camera's IP address>
Example:
arp -s 192.168.0.100 08-00-46-21-00-00 ping -t 192.168.0.100
3
When the following line is displayed on the DOS window, hold down Ctrl and press C.
Reply from 192.168.0.100:bytes=32 time...
You will normally receive the reply after about 5 repetitions of "Request time out."
Note
If you do not receive the reply, check the following: – Did you enter the ARP commands within 5 minutes
after the camera was turned on? If not, turn off the camera and restart the operation.
– Is the NETWORK indicator on the camera flashing?
If the indicator goes off, the network connection has a problem. Connect the network correctly.
– Did you enter the IP address previously used for
another device? Assign a new IP address to the camera.
– Do the computer and the camera have the same
network address? If not, set the same network address on the computer and the camera.

Using the SNMP

This unit supports SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol). You can read MIB-2 objects and write some MIB-2 objects using software such as SNMP manager software. This unit also supports the coldStart trap which occurs when the power is turned on or the unit restarts, and the Authentication failure trap which informs of an illegal access using SNMP. Using CGI commands, you can set community name and access limitation, reading/writing right, host to send traps, and some MIB-2 objects. To allow these settings, you need Level 4 authentication (the right to open the setting pages).
4 describes the instance of “mib-2.system.
sysContact.0”. This field is used to describe the information on the administrator of this camera. Nothing is set at the factory.
5 describes the instance of “mib-2.system.
sysName.0”. This field is used to describe the administration node of this camera. Nothing is set at the factory.
6 describes the instance of “mib-2.snmpEnable
AuthenTraps.0”. This example shows when “1” (enable) is set. With this setting, a trap occurs when there is an Authentication failure. When “2” (disable) is set, no Authentication failure trap occurs.

7 describes the community name and the reading/
writing attributes. This example shows the identification number “ID=1”, the community name public, and enables read from any IP address (0.0.0.0).
8 describes the community name and the reading/
writing attributes, similarly to 7. This example shows the identification number ID=2, the community name “private”, and enables “read/ write” by the SNMP request packet from the host “192.168.0.101”.
9 describes the host name to send a trap. This
