Before Using the VB-C10/VB-C10R This chapter contains information that you should read before using the VB-C10/VB-C10R. It also describes the features of the VB-C10/VB-C10R, the system configuration, the hardware and software requirements, and the name and functions of the system components. Chapter

1-2 The VB-C10/VB-C10R is a system that distributes live videos via the Internet or an Intranet. It can be used in a wide range of applications, such as distributing live videos from a Web site or monitoring. The system is configured of the VB-C10/VB-C10R and viewer software. Please use the supplied viewer software for viewing videos distributed by the VB-C10/VB-C10R and controlling cameras. Broadband Video Distribution Function The VB-C10/VB-C10R is capable of capturing videos at up to 30 fps. Motion-JPEG is used to compress video images. For networking, auto-negotiation between Ethernet 100Base-TX/ 10Base-T is provided and a leased line or ADSL can also be used through a router. Since video quality (in 5 levels) and the frame rate (from 0.1 to 30 fps) can be freely set, videos can be distributed under conditions that best suit the network bandwidth. Concurrent video is distributed up to 20 clients Up to 20 clients can view video at the same time from a single VB-C10/VB-C10R. Camera and video distribution server functions housed in a single unit The camera capable of full pan, tilt, and zoom functions and its server functions for distributing videos through a network are compactly housed in a single unit. By simply connecting a LAN cable and a power supply, the unit can distribute live videos from any location* where it is installed.

1-3 Before Using the VB-C10/VB-C10R Features of the VB-C10/VB-C10R Panorama picture creation functions and settings The entire photographic range of the camera can be created and saved as a panorama picture. The saved panorama pictures can then be easily used to visually set view restrictions and presets. Camera Position Preset function If often-used camera angles (camera head aim and zoom position) and related items are saved in advance as presets, the camera can be controlled from the viewer by simply selecting a desired preset. Up to 8 presets can be stored. View Restriction function You can set restrictions on camera angle specifications and zoom magnifications to prevent viewers from seeing certain camera angles. For example, if the VB-C10/VB-C10R is being used to operate a fixed point camera connected to the Internet, it is possible to distribute videos while protecting privacy (→ P.iii, “Request concerning disclosure of live videos”). Built-in Web server and FTP server The VB-C10/VB-C10R is equipped with built-in Web server functions that enable both Web pages and videos to be distributed through the Web by a single unit. Since it also has a built-in FTP server, Web page data file transfers (FTP) can be performed from remote locations. Simple set up and management By accessing a Settings page provided on the Web, you can use the Web browser on your PC to set up and manage the VB-C10/VB-C10R from a remote location without ever visiting the place where the VB-C10/VB-C10R is actually installed. More powerful security functions The destinations for video distributions can be restricted based on passwords. Up to 20 clients can be registered. Recording videos via preset schedules or links with external devices Still pictures can be recorded based on schedules set in advance or on ON/OFF events from an external device. If VBCollector is used, still pictures recorded by the VB-C10/VB-C10R can be automatically collected by a PC and viewed there.

4-24 Admin Viewer Note Since most operations and settings of Admin Viewer are common with the Helper Viewer, basic camera control and the like are omitted here. This chapter describes only the functions and operations that are unique to Admin Viewer. The manual for the viewer software is provided on the supplied CD-ROM (Mon-E.pdf). About the special privileges of administrators Since Admin Viewer has more special privileges than the Helper and Java Viewers, please keep in mind the following points when using Admin Viewer: ●Since connection time is unlimited, please exit the Viewer after viewing. ●When a camera control privilege has been obtained, Admin Viewer forcibly continues to obtain this privilege. After viewing, be sure to exit the Viewer or click the “Control” button again to release these privileges. ●When making settings, keep in mind that images outside the view restrictions are displayed also in Java and Helper Viewers that are connected simultaneously with Admin Viewer. Admin Viewer is a viewer containing functions for managing the VB-C10/VB-C10R. Compared to the Helper and Java Viewers, Admin Viewer lets you perform operations such as retrieve exclusive camera control privileges, ignore view restrictions, and operate external devices. Starting Up Admin Viewer Click the “Admin Viewer” on the VBAdmin Startup Panel Or double-click the “Admin Viewer” icon on the desktop. When the Admin Livescope window appears, click the “File” then the “Connect”. The “Server Setting” dialog box appears. Enter the following items: ●Host Name (The IP address set on the VB-C10/VB-C10R, → P.3-4) ●User Name (root, → P.3-4) ●Password (→ P.3-9) Then click the “OK” button.

5-3 Creating Web Pages 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 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. Tip 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. Viewer Types Viewer Name Functions LiveApplet 1 Displays videos from the VB-C10/VB-C10R. 2 Allows camera control. 3 Allows overlays and superimposition of bitmaps in the video frame. *Because video is not displayed until the viewer has finished downloading, video display takes longer than with the Helper Viewer. Glimpse Allows the video distribution interval to be set. *Downloading is faster than “LiveApplet” because it has only simple functions and size is small. Web Pages for Video Distribution

Unlike the Java Viewer, it must be pre-installed on the client's computer. The features of the Helper Viewer are described below. ●Must be pre-installed, but once installed, start-up time is quick and operation is stable. ●The Helper Viewer can use WebView-HTTP protocol and can penetrate firewalls to access external sites. However, this cannot pass through with the WebView- TCP protocol (→ P.5-22). ●Can be run as a stand-alone application. Web Pages for Video Distribution Click Panorama Picture

5-21 Creating Web Pages This section describes how to use the Helper Viewer to provide videos. Application examples are also given. If a client is using the Helper Viewer to receive videos, the video sender must set up the Web server and create the necessary wvh files. Setting Up the Web Server Set up the Web server to be used for providing Web pages. Add the MIME type to the Web server software and specify the extension. Refer to the manual for your Web server software for details. MIME type video/x-webview-h Extension wvh For Apache In the settings for added the MIME type in Apache, edit the “mime.types” file in the “conf” directory. ● Use the following syntax to add the required MIME type to the computer: type/subtype extention ● The settings for WebView Livescope are as follows: video/x-webview-h wvh (Helper settings) Using the Helper Viewer to Distribute Videos Note If the MIME setting is not specified correctly for the Web server, you may not be able to launch the Helper Viewer. Be sure to specify the setting correctly. Tip ●The settings below are not required if the VB-C10/VB-C10R’s built-in Web server is used. ●See page 5-8 for saving Web page data.

Page 100

5-22 Using the Helper Viewer to Distribute Videos Creating wvh Files This section describes how to create the wvh file required for launching the Helper Viewer application.

Use a text editor or similar program to create a new text file and type the

following type of code in the file: (Example) 192.168.100.1 65310 192.168.100.1 65311 wvhttp:192.168.100.1 80 ●The first line gives the IP address (or host name) of the VB-C10/VB-C10R and the TCP port number used for the video transmission. The default setting is 65310 (→ P.3-20). The default setting will be used if no particular value is specified. ●The second line gives the IP address (or host name) of the VB-C10/VB-C10R and the TCP port number used for the camera control. The default setting is 65311 (→ P.3-20). The default setting will be used if no particular value is specified. ●The third line gives the setting for the Helper Viewer to use HTTP protocol. After “wvhttp:”, type in the IP address of the VB-C10/VB-C10R and “80” as the HTTP port number. As a result of this, you will be able to view video from the VB-C10/VB-C10R through firewalls. *Type in the actual IP address (or host name) set for the VB-C10/VB-C10R. Tip Helper Viewer supports WebView Livescope protocol and HTTP protocol. ●WebView Livescope protocol: Cannot be viewed through firewalls. This protocol is primarily for clients who are connected directly to the Internet. ●HTTP protocol: In general, this protocol is used with Web browsers. By using this protocol, clients inside firewalls can view video by penetrating fire walls. The Java Viewer also uses this protocol.

After you save the text file and quit the text editor program, create a wvh file

by changing the file name and extension. Be sure to add the “.wvh” extension, as in “WebView.wvh”.

5-24 Distributing Videos Using a Browser Only You can also use the WebView-HTTP protocol to provide videos from the VB-C10/VB-C10R directly to a Web browser. Some example of this are described in this section. 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. (or)

The underlined portion is a sample IP address. Enter the actual IP address set for the VB-C10/VB-C10R.

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.

The underlined portion is a sample IP address. Enter the actual IP address set for the VB-C10/VB-C10R.

Tip Setting frame_count=no_limit, removes the limits on the number of image frames.

Page 103

5-25 Creating Web Pages Distributing Videos Using a Browser Only 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°.

The underlined portion is a sample IP address. Enter the actual IP address set for the VB-C10/VB-C10R.

GetStillImage Parameters Parameter Description p/pan 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. t/tilt 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. z/zoom 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. b/back_light 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. delay Waiting time until camera focus is stabilized (in milliseconds). Specified in the range 0 to 10000. option 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”. seq Allows any number (sequence number) to be specified to avoid displaying old still pictures (numeric value). v/image_size Specifies picture display size. This can be set to 640 × 480, 320 × 240, or 160 ×

The formats for specifying “v” and “image_size” are different: “v” specifies

the horizontal dimension only and uses the format “v=640”, for instance, while “image_size” specifies both horizontal and vertical dimensions and uses the format “image_size=320 × 240”, for instance. q/quality Specifies the picture quality of the pictures. Use an integer between 1 and 99 to specify. If omitted, the value set in the VB-C10/VB-C10R is used. Note If old still pictures are displayed, you can prevent this recurring by specifying a sequence number in the seq parameter.

5-26 Note Contact respective manufacturers for details on setting the router. One fixed global address is required if the VB-C10/VB-C10R is being used to distribute live videos on the Internet. An Internet service provider (ISP) that offers a single-address fixed global address service can be used (Note: a router with NAT function is required). Example: In this example, we use the global address 192.168.1.10 assigned by the ISP. We also set the private address 192.168.100.2 in the VB-C10/VB-C10R (and 192.168.100.1 for the router). Example of Video Distribution Using One Fixed Global Address Internet Router Viewer PC Web server Global address 192.168.1.10 Add support for private address 192.168.100.2 (router NAT function). 192.168.100.2 192.168.100.1

Vb-C10/Vb-C10R

A sample page of the VB-C10/VB-C10R is automatically generated based on the IP address that was actually assigned (192.168.100.2 in this case). In this case, this page cannot be viewed in the Java Viewer or the Helper Viewer when “http://192.168.100.2/sample/” is accessed through the Internet. Set “Global Address for Web Pages” (→ P.3-21) to 192.168.1.10. If you are not using the VB-C10/ VB-C10R’s Web server, describe the Web pages for distributing videos as follows: Set the Java Viewer description (→ P.5-7) as follows: Set the wvh file description of the Helper Viewer (→ P.5-22) as follows: 192.168.1.10 65310 192.168.1.10 65311 wvhttp:192.168.1.10 80

Out A, Out B

+ – External Device I/O Terminals External Device Input Terminals (IN+, IN–) The external device input terminals consist of a + terminal and a ‘–’ terminal. The ‘–’ terminal is grounded on the inside of the main unit. By connecting two cables to the + and ‘–’ terminals and then electrically short-circuiting across the terminals (ON) or separating the connection (OFF), an interrupt can be generated for the internal controller. See “Picture Recording and External Device I/O Settings Page” in Chapter 3 “Setup Procedures” (→ P.3-16) for information on the settings. Connect any sensors and switches to terminals with electrically separate GND terminals and power supplies. External Device Output Terminals (OUT A, OUT B) The external device output terminals consist two terminals (OUT A and OUT B). There is no distinction between + and ‘–’ with OUT A and OUT B. The Internal controller switches the two output terminals to disconnected or connected condition. The output terminals use optocouplers and are separate from the internal circuit in the VB-C10/VB-C10R.

External input status can be checked and external output status can be controlled using Admin Viewer (→

P.4-25).

Loads connected to the output terminals should be within the following ratings: Rating across the output terminals: Up to 50 V DC Continuous load current: 100 mA Internal Connection Chart
