Basic Configuration by the Administrator

Overview

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

41.

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

41.

Hereafter, use the camera using the SSL connection. If you use the FTP still image sending function, the SSL function will be disabled, and communication content will not be coded. Do not use the FTP still image sending function if the camera is at risk of unauthorized access.

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.

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

41.

Restart the web browser and access the camera again.

There are three modes of camera operation: Area zoom mode, Vector dragging mode and PTZ Control bar. You can control pan/tilt and zoom in either mode.

when zoomed in at the TELE end. 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 end. The solid PTZ function’s zoom is performed digitally; therefore, some deterioration in image quality may be observed at the TELE end.

Click and hold the left button of the mouse on the monitor image, and drag the mouse diagonally to draw a red frame around the portion you want to enlarge. The camera moves so that framed portion is positioned at the center of the display and is zoomed in.

Note

When the specified area is zoomed in, the center may be shifted or some portion of the image may appear out of the monitor image section. In this case, click the point you want to move to the center or click the arrow button on the camera control panel.

Switching Transmission Mode

When you click on the starting point on the image and drag to the end point, the camera pans/tilts in the direction of the arrow from the starting point to the end point. The speed of operation is determined by the length of arrow. Releasing the button on the mouse stops the panning/tilting of the camera.

Using pan/tilt/zoom operations with the displayed control bar (PTZ Control bar only)

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 in the live 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.

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

Operating the Camera

Pan/Tilt operations

Click the arrow of the direction you wish to move the camera. Continue pressing on the arrow to keep moving the direction of the camera.

Zoom operation

Click to zoom out, click to zoom in. The zoom operation continues while you are pressing on the button.

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.

Multicast: This protocol is selectable when Multicast streaming in the Streaming tab of the

Video / Audio menu or Video menu is set to Enable. 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.

Switching Transmission Mode

Note

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