4-2 Web Pages for Video Distribution You must create a dedicated Web page to distribute information from the camera you have installed. VB-C500 Viewer can be used as the cameras viewer, where you can set detailed parameters. If a link corresponding to the image request is sel ected in (1), the Web server will send a file containing the IP address information of the camer a from the server in (2). If VB Viewer is used, the camera will deliver video to the viewer PC upon the request in (3). „ Sample Web Page for Video Distribution (Built in the Camera) The above page is built in the camera. It can be accessed from the following URL: http://192.168.100.1/ * The underlined portion is an example of IP address. In reality, the customer must enter the IP address set for the camera ( P. 1-8).

4-3 Web Pages for Video Distribution Creating Web Pages for Video Distribution Note The VB-C500VD/VB-C500D has a built-in Web server.

For information on how to save Web page data, see How to Create a Web Page Using VB Viewer ( P. 4-6). Please make sure that the web server and the cameras IP address or global address are on the same subnet, when using a dedicated web server.

For example, set the top page for Japanese us ers as index-ja.html and English page for overseas users as index.html, and se parate the URL with slashes, such as http://192.168.100.1 /sample/. This way, the server will s end appropriate files according to the browsers language setting for the accessed page. For details on the language setting function, see the browsers Help. * The underlined portion is an example of IP address. In reality, the customer must enter the IP address set for the camera ( P. 1-8). COPY
