    Creating Web Pages for Video Distribution
    Distributing Video Using a Browser Only 
    You can provide video from the VB-C500VD/VB-C500D directly to a browser using the WebView-
    HTTP protocol. Examples are explained below. 
    Displaying Live Video at the Time of Access as a 
    Still Image 
    You can provide as a still image the video captured by the camera the moment the client 
    accesses your Web page. 
    See the applicable sample page for a specific example. 
    * 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).

    Example of Image Distribution Using One Global 
    Address 
    To publish live video from the camera over the Internet, you need one fixed global address. 
    Some providers offer access services wher e one fixed global address is assigned. 
    You can use this global address. In this  case, you need a router with NAT function.
    Example:  Assume that your provider  assigned the global address 192.168.1.10.
    You also set the local address 192.168.100.2 for the camera. 
    (Router: 192.168.100.1)
    In this case, VB Viewer cannot be displayed even when http://192.168.100.2/sample/ is 
    accessed via the Internet. Set 192.168.1.10 in [ Global Address for the Web Page] ( P. 1-31). 
    Also, specify the Web page for vid eo distribution as explained below. 
    Specify VB Viewer  (  P. 4-6) as follows: 
    * The underlined portion is an example of IP address. In reality, specify the value you have set 
    under [ Global Address for the Web Page] (
     P. 1-31). 
    
    
    Note
    z For the router settings, contact the router manufacturer. 
    z To distribute audio, be sure to set [ Global Address for the Web Page] ( P. 1-31). 
    z For information on saving web contents for video distribution, see Note  (  P. 4-3).

    Creating Web Pages for Video Distribution
    Distributing Still Images to Mobile Phones
    You can use a Web service for mobile phones to view still images and control the camera.You can 
    easily create a still image distribution page for mobile phones in HTML using WebView-HTTP 
    protocol image.cgi commands. The VB-C500VD/VB-C500D stores a sample page for distributing 
    still images to mobile phones, and you c an view the sample page as follows. 
    1. Launch the Web browser and enter the following URI:  http://192.168.100.1
    /m/
    * 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).
    2. Select the language (English/Japanese/French/Italian/German/Spanish). 
    3. The sample page will be displayed. 
    The sample pages have been created to let you adjust the camera zoom. You can perform 
    various operations by pressing the corresponding dial keys on the mobile phone.
    Note
    Take note, however, that depending on the type of the mobile phone, image may not be 
    displayed or the camera cannot be controlled.
    Tip
    You can control the camera only when no other  user has the camera control privileges.

    Distributing Still Images to Mobile Phones
    Overwriting a Sample Page
    Access the flash memory in the camera via FTP and rewrite the HTML files located at the 
    following paths, to change the screen display and operation details. Path to English sample:   /mnt_flash/www/html/sample/en/mobile/
    Path to Japanese sample:  /mnt_flash/www/html/sample/ja/mobile/
    Path to French sample: /mnt_flash/www/html/sample/fr/mobile/
    Path to Italian sample: /mnt_flash/www/html/sample/it/mobile/
    Path to German sample: /mnt_flash/www/html/sample/de/mobile/
    Path to Spanish sample: /mnt_flash/www/html/sample/es/mobile/
    For example, overwrite the underli ned value of tele.html to change the zoom control position. For 
    the image.cgi command parameters, see the table below. 
    „ About the Parameters of image.cgi 
    
    Note
    Before overwriting any sample page stored in the flash memory of the camera, back up the 
    applicable file. 
    Command Explanation
