Using Solid PTZ function

You can operate the camera by using the Solid PTZ
function, which provides panning, tilting and zooming
by adjusting the position and zooming ratio from the
maximum image size (1280 × 1024 (SNC-VB600/
VM600/VM601), 1920 × 1080 (SNC-VB630/VM630/
VM631)), without moving the camera. There are three
modes of camera operation: Area zoom mode, Vect or

pan/tilt and zoom in either mode.
The available functions for the camera operation modes
vary according to the viewer display. The available
functions are as follows:

ActiveX viewer

Notes

• Pan/Tilt limitation
The solid PTZ function controls streaming by
cropping or reducing a maximum size image.
Thus, the more the camera zooms out, the less area to
be panned or tilted, and becomes unavailable at the
WIDE setting.

• Zoom limitation
The solid PTZ function enables you to display an area
of 1/16 the maximum image size (Aspect ratio: 1:4),
when zoomed in at the TELE setting.
An image cannot be enlarged beyond this.
And the whole area shot in the maximum image size
will be displayed if the camera is zoomed out at the
WIDE setting.
The solid PTZ function’s zoom is performed digitally;
therefore, some deterioration in image quality may be
observed at the TELE setting.

• The Solid PTZ function is not available with Plug-in
free viewer.

Configuration of Main Viewer

Switching Transmission Mode

You can change the transmission mode for video/audio
data.
This function can be used when the video codec mode is
set to H.264 and the ActiveX viewer is used.

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.

1

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/audio communications. HTTP is
the protocol used for reading the usual Web page. In
an environment capable of reading Web pages, you
can watch or listen to video/audio by selecting the
TCP port.

Unicast: When Unicast is selected, RTP (Realtime
Transport Protocol) is adopted for video/audio
communications. Since RTP is the protocol for
running video/audio data, the video/audio 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/audio may not play back
properly when Unicast is selected. In this case,
select TCP.

Operating the Camera

Multicast: This protocol is selectable when
Multicast streaming (page 22) is On. When
Multicast is selected as the transmission port, RTP

(Real-time Transport Protocol) and UDP multicast
techniques are adopted for video/audio
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/audio may not play back properly.
In this case, select TCP or Unicast.

Note

When connecting via a proxy server, neither Unicast nor
Multicast can be selected.

VMF is a function for inspecting a motion detected in a
specified area, entering or passing through a specified
area, or on an inspection line.
The inspection methods; Intrusion/Passing, can be used,
and can be set to execute independently, or in
combination.
For example:

• An alarm sounds when an object enters areas A, B and
C.

• An alarm sounds when an object passes through area
A and enters area B.

• An alarm sounds when an object passes through areas
A and B, and enters area C.

• An alarm sounds when an object enters area A, and
passes through area B.

Intrusion

When a moving object exists in the designated area, an
alarm will sound. Video/audio recording can be
performed in synchronization with this alarm.

Passing

A passage line is determined, and when a moving object
passes the setting line, an alarm sounds.
Video/audio recording can be performed in
synchronization with this alarm.

Notes

• Before actual use, perform an operation test and
confirm that the motion detection function works
correctly.

• Even when privacy masking is used, the motion
detection function operates based on the images
before masking is processed.

• Before actual use, be sure to set Image size1 in the
Video codec tab of the Video / Audio menu to the
maximum rate.

• The authentication check dialog appears when you
open the motion detection setting screen. Enter the
administrator user ID and password.

Administrating the Camera

Motion detection responds to moving objects in the
