Setting Pan/Tilt Camera Preset Position

The (Preset Positions) icon is used to set preset positions for a pan/tilt camera. The administrator can set and name up to 20 preset positions for a video camera. Users can then position the video camera quickly and accurately by merely recalling a preset position.

1 Click the “Preset Positions” icon on the “Specific

parameter for Sony G20/G21 and Sony D30/D31” page. The “Preset Positions” page appears in a new window.

HSR-1/1P/2/2P Setup

The (HSR) icon is displayed when HSR-1/1P/2/ 2P is selected for the serial port usage. When an HSR1/1P/2/2P is connected to the video network station’s COM1 terminal, if the “HSR” icon does not appear next to the “COM1” icon, reset the serial port usage by referring to “Serial Port Settings” on page 18.

Click the “HSR” icon to display the “Sony HSR Settings” page.

2 Observe the sample video camera image while

•Available settings differ according to the type of HSR connected.

Some settings are different for the HSR-1/1P and HSR-2/2P, which are automatically detected by the video network station.

•Recording Mode Setting Procedure

To set the recording mode, open the “RECORDING MODE 1” - “RECORDING MODE 5” pages from the “RECORDING FUNCTION” page, and set the following items: – [CAMERAS] – [TAPE LENGTH] – [IMAGE QUALITY] – Either [TIME MODE] or “RECORDING

CYCLE” The HSR-1/1P/2/2P automatically calculates the value of either [TIME MODE] or “RECORDING CYCLE” that was not entered when you click the “SET” button. If the entered value is outside of the valid setting range, an error message appears, so you can enter a valid value. To verify the settings, display the “RECORDING MODE 1” through “RECORDING MODE 5” pages again.

•Relationship between HSR-1/1P/2/2P Passwords and Video Network Station Password

The password entered for “PASSWORD SETTING” on the “FUNCTION CONTROL” page restricts operation of the HSR-1/1P/2/2P (which is different from the “Security” password set for the video network station – see page 16). However, the system manager (root user) of the video network station can change the passwords for any connected HSR-1/1P/2/ 2P. The system manager’s password should therefore be handled carefully.

•Time Display Format

The following four display formats are available on the HSR-1/1P/2/2P “INDICATION CONTROL” page, which are independent of the video network server’s “Date & Time” (see page 15). – “SETUP MENU” - “TIME ADJUSTMENT” – “SETUP MENU” - “RECORDING FUNCTION”

- [TIMER RECORDING]

– HSR View - “HSR CONTROL” - [TIME

SEARCH]

– HSR View - “HSR CONTROL” - [ALARM

SEARCH] - [ALARM LIST] To change these display formats, change the [DATE FORMAT] and [TIME FORMAT] on the “INDICATION CONTROL” page.

•Setting the HSR-1/1P/2/2P Communications Speed to Match the Video Network Station

When changing the [RS-232C] communications speed on the “REMOTE CONTROL” page, be sure to also set the video network station communications speed on the “Serial Port 1 Settings” page (see page

18) to the same value. If these settings are not the same, the video network station will be unable to control the HSR-1/1P/2/2P.

•The “SERVICE USE” Page is for Maintenance Service

The “SERVICE USE” page in the “MAINTENANCE MENU” is for maintenance service. It is password protected to prevent display to users.

•Setting and Canceling HSR-1/1P/2/2P Passwords

The password entered for “PASSWORD SETTING” on the “FUNCTION CONTROL” page may consist of up to four characters. Asterisks (*) are displayed when the HSR-1/1P/2/2P password has been set. To cancel a password, delete the displayed asterisks (*) and click the Set button with both [USER PASSWORD] and [CONFIRM PASSWORD] boxes empty.

Simultaneous Alarm Input to the HSR-1/1P/2/2P and Video Network Station Alarm Memory

When alarm recording is initiated by input of an alarm signal to the HSR-1/1P/2/2P, if the alarm signal is sent from the HSR-1/1P/2/2P to the video network station, the alarm function of the video network station acts simultaneously with the HSR-1/1P/2/2P. In this way, alarm events recorded on the HSR-1/1P/2/2P can be

entered for the [Number of Pre-Alarm Images], images displayed immediately prior to an alarm event at the A terminal of the HSR-1/1P/ 2/2P are saved to the alarm memory of the video network station. Therefore, if an image from another video camera is displayed immediately before an alarm, the required image is not recorded.

z Hint

•To ensure recording of images before an alarm event, on the “Administration overview” page, select the [HSR] icon first, and then the [Setup] icon and set the “RECORDING MODE” to [PRE-ALARM] on the “RECORDING FUNCTION” page. In this case, image confirmation is performed at the HSR-1/1P/2/ 2P “ALARM SEARCH”. Refer to the HSR-1/1P/2/ 2P Users Guide for details of HSR-1/1P/2/2P alarm recording.

•When four video cameras are connected to HSR-1/ 1P/2/2P video input terminals 1 to 4 and the HSR View is set to display four partitions, if an alarm event occurs at any camera, the number of images set for the [Number of PRE-Alarm Images] is saved. However, in this case, the saved image will consist of the four displayed partitions.

Basic Administration

If You Suspect a Problem

If you notice a symptom that leads you to suspect the video network station may be broken, please check the following items before contacting your Sony Service Center.

Symptom

No access from Web browser

The POWER indicator does not light steadily

Possible Cause

The IP address assigned to this unit may have already been assigned to another device.

When attempting to set the ARP address in Windows 95, the ARP table might have been empty.

A problem may be present in the power supply.

Remedy

Use the following procedure to check for unique IP address assignments:

1 Enter the following at an MS-

DOS prompt (command prompt):

ping <host name or IP address of video network station>

2 The cause of the problem

can be determined from the response received:

• bytes=32 time=2ms … The IP address has already

been assigned. Please obtain and set another IP address.

• destination host unreachable

The video network station is not on a reachable network node. Please obtain and set another IP address.

• request timed out The IP address has not

been assigned to any users. It can be assigned to the video network station.

The “arp” command cannot be used in Windows 95 when the ARP table is empty. Enter “arpa” at an MS-DOS prompt (command prompt) to display the ARP table contents. If it is empty, execute a “ping” command to an existing host on the network, and then download an IP address to the video network station with the “arp” command.

Confirm that the supplied AC adapter is connected.

Symptom

The NETWORK indicator lights red

The server operates locally, but not beyond the router

The image does not refresh even when the “Reload” or “Refresh” button in the Web browser is pressed, or the image refreshes slowly (or both)

Poor image quality

Possible Cause

A problem may be present in the network connection cable.

A protective firewall may be installed.

A default router is needed.

The Web server may be overloaded.

Because distributed images are large and complex (with many contrast levels), a large amount of memory is required for the file in the video network station.

Display settings may be incorrect.

Remedy

Confirm that the network cable is connected correctly by the following procedure:

1 Execute a “ping” command

to an existing host on the network.

2 If a response such as

“…bytes=32 time=2ms” is received, the cables are connected properly.

Contact your system administrator.

Check whether a default router setting is required.

Prepare a script to run on the Web server and replay images sent from the video network station to the Internet.

If several clients attempt to access the same image at the same time, memory limitations may degrade server throughput. Try reducing the number of clients.

Change the computer display setting to a minimum of 65,000 colors (16 bits). Poor image quality will result if the display is set to 256 colors or less.

Lithium Battery Replacement

The lithium battery lasts about two years with normal use.* When the battery is depleted, the data and time settings are lost. Contact your Sony Service Center to have the battery replaced (for a charge).

*Presuming the power is normally kept on. If the

power is regularly turned off, battery life can be expected to be about one year. Actual battery life depends on the operating conditions.
