FEATURES

The PC Software Package WV-AS710 (hereinafter referred to as WV-AS710) is designed to deliver pictures from

cameras at remote locations to personal computers (PCs) via an IP network such as the Internet/Intranet. Install the

WV-AS710 in a PC server whose OS is Red Hat Linux 8.0 Professional to run the network camera server (a PC

server in which the WV-AS710 is installed is referred to as a network camera server in this operating manual). Users

can browse delivered pictures using web browsers on PCs.

Camera Site

When using cameras connected by coaxial cable

Access the network using the network interface unit WJ-NT104. The network camera server identifies the IP address

and the camera channels of the network interface unit, and acquires camera pictures and controls the cameras.

When using network cameras with built-in 10BASE-T/100BASE-TX Ethernet port connected by LAN cable

Access the network assigning unique IP addresses to each camera. The network camera server identifies the IP

addresses assigned to each camera, and acquires camera pictures and controls the cameras.

Network Camera Server

User Site

Users can browse camera pictures by entering the address of the network camera server in the address box of a

web browser in the same way they access web pages using a web browser. Users don’t need to remember the IP

address of each camera thanks to menus displayed in the web browser that allow them to select and operate the

desired camera.

When connected cameras are compatible with MPEG-4, users can browse camera pictures in the MPEG-4 format

by downloading the MPEG-4 Plug-in Software from the network camera server and installing it in the PC. Users also

can download recorded pictures from the network camera server and play them as MPEG-4 motion pictures.

It is required to download the MPEG-4 Player to play downloaded pictures. Download the MPEG-4 Player from the

network camera server and install it in the PC.

Network Monitoring

By using the network camera server, users can browse JPEG or MPEG-4 format pictures from cameras at remote

locations in the same way they access web pages using a web browser. Multiple users can browse pictures from the

same camera simultaneously, and also each user can browse pictures from different cameras.

Recordings

Authenticated users can record camera pictures delivered to the network camera server on to hard disks.

Alarm Recordings

When the network camera server receives an alarm signal from a camera, pictures from the camera can be record-

ed on to a hard disk when an alarm occurs. In this case, sending e-mail to specified addresses to notify of an alarm

occurring is also possible. The recipients of the alarm mail can browse the recorded camera pictures by following a

link contained in the mail.

Note: The network camera server receives alarm signals only when cameras use the Panasonic protocol to transmit

alarm signals.

Administration

Administration of the network camera server (for example, setting of camera numbers) can be performed using a

web browser installed on a PC connected to the Internet.

It is unnecessary to install special software on a PC since the network camera server is fully operable with a web

browser.

About Network Environment

Depending on the traffic on the network or the security system of the LAN (e.g. firewall), it may be difficult to display

HTML documents delivered from the network camera server correctly. The HTML documents delivered from the net-

work camera server contain JavaScript and commands to CGIs. When a PC is set to ignore these commands,

HTML documents may not be displayed correctly.

FEATURES

Notes:

•When the traffic on the network is heavy

When the transmission speed is slow or the traffic on the network is too heavy to receive image data, it may be

difficult to browse camera pictures and a still picture indicating the failure to acquire an image ("Image capture

has failed.") may appear. When this still picture appears frequently, adjust the time interval for acquiring image

data.

•When a firewall (including software) is installed

•Allow HTTP access to a port for Apache (default port number: 80).

•Allow HTTP access to a port for WV-AS710 (default port number: 8080). The port for WV-AS710 can be

changed during installation.

•Allow access to all of the UDP ports. Otherwise, it is impossible to browse motion pictures (MPEG-4).
