Viewer Software Functions
Viewer Software Functions Videos from the VB-C10/VB-C10R can be displayed by a Web browser that can run Java applet. Because the Java Viewer is automatically downloaded and does not need to be preinstalled, unlike the Helper Viewer, it is compatible with any platform that supports Java-capable environments. Because it uses the HTTP protocol, the Java Viewer penetrates firewalls. However, it may not run stably on some platforms or browser types. Also, because the Viewer is downloaded when the Web page loads, start-up times and execution speeds are slower than the Helper Viewer. A helper application for viewing videos from the VB-C10/VB-C10R that is launched from a Web browser. The Helper Viewer must be pre-installed. Install Helper Viewer from the supplied CD-ROM. Compared with the Java Viewer, start-up is faster because the Viewer does not need to be downloaded. This Viewer is recommended for users who use the viewer frequently. Because it supports the HTTP protocol, the Helper Viewer penetrates firewalls unscathed.

Java Viewer

Helper Viewer
Install the Helper Viewer from the MonSetup.exe file on the supplied CD-ROM. The manual for the WebView Livescope software is provided on the supplied CD-ROM (Mon-E.pdf). To connect the VB-C10/VB-C10R to the Internet, you require a leased line connection to an Internet service provider or a LAN-type dialup IP connection. If you are using a LAN-type dialup connection, check that the connection supports bidirectional calling.

Wide-angle Converter

The Wide-angle Converter WL-37 is designed specifically for the VB-C10 and cannot be used on the VB-C10R. If the converter is used on the VB-C10R, the mount will gradually loosen and the converter will fall off the camera.
The camera may not operate correctly if a wide-angle converter other than the WL-37 is used. The permissible range of camera installation angles with the wide-angle converter mounted on the camera is 15 from the horizontal. When the Wide-angle Converter has been set for use in Camera Settings ( P.3-11), the pan and tilt values change for the three functions listed below. If the Wide-angle Converter is to be used, pan and tilt values must be determined after the use of the Wide-angle Converter has been set in Camera Settings.

3 Request for video

4 Video distribution
If you select a link requesting video in step 1, a file that includes the IP address information for the VB-C10/VB-C10R is sent from the Web server in step 2. If you are using the Java Viewer, the applet is downloaded to the viewer PC from the VB-C10/VB-C10R in response to the request in step 3 and the video is distributed.
The VB-C10/VB-C10R includes a built-in Web server. If the content of Web pages used for distributing videos is stored onto the flash memory in the VB-C10/VB-C10R, the VB-C10/VB-C10R can be used alone for distributing Web pages and videos over the Web. Please refer to page 5-8 for procedures on how to save Web page data.
You can use the Language setting function for the Browser to create a multi-lingual Web site. For example, if you set the French-language top page as index-fr.html and the English-language top page as index.html and supply users with a URL address terminates in slash, such as http://vb-c10/sample/, the server will transmit a file that corresponds with the language setting for the Browser. For further information on the Language setting function for the Browser, refer to the Browser Help.
Features of the Java Viewers
These viewers are supplied as Java applets. They run on Web browsers that are Java-capable, such as the Netscape Navigator and Microsoft Internet Explorer browsers. The applets are downloaded from the camera server to the Web browser and are then run by the Web browser. The features of the Java Viewers are described below.
Video distribution and camera operation using the WebView-HTTP protocol. Penetrate firewalls to access external sites. Because they are automatically downloaded, the Java Viewers do not need to be pre-installed by the client. Java Viewers run on a wide variety of platforms.
Because the Java applets are downloaded using the HTTP protocol when the viewer starts up, the start up time is longer than the Helper Viewer.

Java Viewer Types

Two Java Viewers are LiveApplet, which has video display and camera control functions, and Glimpse, which only has video display functions. Because both viewers use WebView-HTTP as the transfer protocol, they do not require special settings to penetrate firewalls.

Displaying the Live Video at Access as a Still Picture
When a client accesses the Web page that provides videos, the video shot at that point can be supplied as a still picture.
<IMG SRC=http://192.168.100.1/-wvhttp-01-/GetStillImage> (or) <IMG SRC=http://192.168.100.1/-wvhttp-01-/GetOneShot>
Displaying a Specified Number Of Live Video Frames As a Video at Access
The Server Push format provided as an extended function by Netscape Communications Corp. can be used to distribute multiple-frame images. However, these images can only be displayed on Netscape Navigator. In the coding example below, 100 frames of live video are distributed when the client accesses the server.
<IMG SRC=http://192.168.100.1/-wvhttp-01-/GetOneShot?frame_count=100>
Setting frame_count=no_limit, removes the limits on the number of image frames.
Displaying Live Video from a Specified Angle as Still Pictures
By specifying the camera angle as a parameter in the HTML code beforehand, you can display the picture from a specified camera angle. The example below displays a still picture shot with the camera panned right by 40 and tilted down 10. <IMG SRC=http://192.168.100.1/-wvhttp-01-/GetStillImage?p=40&t=-10>

GetStillImage Parameters

Parameter p/pan Description Specifies the camera pan angle. p is a 1 unit, and pan is a 0.01 unit. For example if the camera pans right 20, then p is 20 and pan is 2000. If this parameter is omitted, the camera pan angle is not controlled. Specifies the camera tilt angle. t is a 1 unit, and tilt is a 0.01 unit. If this parameter is omitted, the camera tilt angle is not controlled. Specifies camera zoom. z is ten times the zoom ratio of the widest angle, and zoom is the view angle in 0.01 units (horizontal direction). If this parameter is omitted, camera zoom is not controlled. Specifies camera backlight compensation. When this parameter is set to on, the picture captured will be bright and when this parameter is set to off, the picture captured will be dark. If this parameter is omitted, camera backlight compensation is not controlled. Waiting time until camera focus is stabilized (in milliseconds). Specified in the range 0 to 10000. Specifies how errors are dealt with. When skip_on_error is specified, the process will be continued. When quit_on_error is specified, the process will be aborted. The following errors can occur: failure to acquire camera control right, loss of camera control, camera selection errors and camera control errors. To omit, the default value is quit_on_error. Allows any number (sequence number) to be specified to avoid displaying old still pictures (numeric value).

Contact respective manufacturers for details on setting the router.
This chapter describes a couple of specific examples of the Picture Recording function using the VB-C10/VB-C10R. This function can be used to automatically record still pictures according to a preset schedule or in response to inputs from an external device.
Using the Still Picture Recording Function Linked to an External Device
By combining various sensors and switches to operate according to External Device Input settings, it is possible to build a monitoring system that responds to external events. Still pictures are recorded in the VB-C10/VB-C10Rs memory ( P.3-16).
Sample Application Combining a Door-opening Sensor
This is a monitoring system in which the VB-C10R installed in the ceiling records pictures every second for 3 seconds before the doors opens and 7 seconds after the door opens between 5 p.m. and 6 a.m. The equipment shown in the figure below is connected to the terminals on the rear of the VB-C10R at installation.
When the door opens and sensor B mounted on it separates from sensor A, an ON event occurs at external device inputs IN+ and IN. In response to this event, the VB-C10R records pictures at the entrance and stores them. VB-C10R Connection Example

Connector

IN+, IN
Remove some insulation at the end of the cables from the sensor and insert them into the IN+ and IN terminals on the plug for the external IN IN+ device. Then tighten the screws on the plug to secure the cables. Insert this plug with the cable into the external device I/O jack on the rear of the VB-C10R.

If the VB-C10/VB-C10Rs IP address or administration password are not known or have been forgotten, the VB-C10/VB-C10R cannot be operated over a network. In this case, press the Reset switch at the bottom of the unit.
1. Hold the Reset switch while you turn the VB-C10/VB-C10Rs power switch off and then on again.
The Reset switch is located toward the rear on the bottom. Use a thin tipped object such as the end of a paper clip to press the Reset switch. See page 2-4 Turning the Power ON and OFF for procedures on how to turn OFF and ON the VB-C10/VB-C10Rs power switch.
2. Hold the Reset switch for more than 5 seconds even after the power switch is turned ON.
All settings in the VB-C10/VB-C10R will be returned to the factory default settings.
If the Reset switch is pressed and all factory default settings are restored, the VB-C10/ VB-C10Rs network-related settings such as IP address, submask, and default gateway address are all also returned to the factory default settings, making it impossible to operate the VB-C10/VB-C10R from a PC connected to it. Use VBIPI.exe on the supplied CD-ROM to set an IP address appropriate to the environment you will be using ( P.3-3).
