    Admin Viewer/VB Viewer
    6
    [Administrator] 
    This user is given all authorities. The user name is fixed 
    to “root”.
    The Administrator can launch the Admin Viewer from 
    the [Admin Viewer] link on the top page. 
    [Authorized User] 
    Authorized users can launch the Admin Viewer from 
    the [Admin Viewer] link on the top page if they have 
    privileged camera control. Authorized users can no 
    longer launch the Admin Viewer upon losing privileged 
    camera control. However, they can still launch the VB 
    Viewer. Launching the VB Viewer can be prohibited by 
    disabling all authorities of a given authorized user 
    (p. 60).
    [Guest User] 
    This user can only use the following functions:
    Backlight compensation, snapshots, video display, 
    audio distribution
    Pan/tilt/zoom camera control 
    Digital PTZ
    Guest users can launch the VB Viewer from the [VB 
    Viewer] link on the top page. The Administrator can 
    completely prohibit all camera access from guest users 
    by disabling all their authorities. 
    Note
     The factory default setting gives privileged camera control to 
    [Authorized User] as well. 
     If all guest user authorities are disabled, the user 
    authentication dialog box will appear when the VB Viewer is 
    launched. When an authorized user or administrator name and 
    password are entered, the VB Viewer can be used with 
    authorized user or administrator authorities, respectively.
     The authorities of authorized users are assigned as follows.
    List of Authorized User Authorities
    Important
     At any time, the [Administrator] can launch the Admin Viewer to 
    override the camera control privileges of another instance of 
    the Admin Viewer launched by an [Authorized User]. The 
    Administrator can retain the camera control privileges, but 
    doing so prevents authorized users from obtaining camera 
    control privileges. After viewing the necessary information, the 
    Administrator should always close the viewer or click [Obtain/
    Release Camera Control] to release the control privileges. 
     The Admin Viewer launched by the [Administrator] can access 
    only one camera at a time. While administrator authorities are 
    used to access the camera from a given computer, access 
    with administrator authorities from other computers will be not 
    be granted.  In contrast, the camera can be accessed 
    simultaneously by multiple instances of the Admin Viewer 
    launched by [Authorized Users] from different computers. 
    Take note, however, that when controlling the camera, the 
    control privileges are given to the user who accessed the 
    camera most recently.

    Controlling the Camera
    Obtain camera control privileges before carrying out the 
    following operations. These operations can be carried out 
    in both the Admin Viewer and the VB Viewer. 
    Note
     Operations carried out by clicking or dragging will not be 
    precise.
     Users operating the camera in the Admin Viewer with the 
    administrator authorities can control the camera outside the 
    view restrictions. 
    Users operating the camera in the Admin Viewer with the 
    authorized user authorities can control the camera only within 
    the view restrictions. 
     Users operating the camera in the VB Viewer can control the 
    camera within the view restrictions.
    „Changing the Camera Angle  
    You can change the angle by doing one of the following:
    Use the pan and tilt sliders
    The camera angle will change according to the knob 
    position on the sliders. The knob can also be moved by 
    clicking on an empty part of the slider. 
    Click on the video
    When you click on the video display area, the camera 
    angle changes so that the clicked position becomes the 
    center of the video. If the desired position is not displayed in the center with one click, align the mouse pointer and 
    click again until the desired position is displayed in the 
    center.
    Note
    In the Admin Viewer, you can also control the pan and tilt with the 
    camera control button (p. 134). 
    „Change the Camera Angle in the Panorama 
    Display Area  
    Move by clicking
    Clicking a point in the panorama window moves the pan 
    and tilt to center on that point. 
    Move by dragging
    Dragging the yellow frame lines in the panorama window 
    moves the pan and tilt to capture that area. 
    Note
    Clicking outside the yellow frame lines and dragging will create 
    blue frame lines. When you release the mouse button, the blue 
    lines will turn yellow and the camera will change the pan, tilt and 
    zoom in order to capture that area.
    Important
    The estimated pan and tilt operational durability is 50,000 full 
    cycle operations. For example, 25 full cycles made per day 
    would result in 6 years of operation.
    The focus and zoom may also operate abnormally if the pan 
    and tilt operational durability estimates are exceeded.
    If another user is waiting for control privileges 
    while you are assigned control privileges, 
    your remaining time is shown on the control 
    privilege status indicator.
    Control privileges assigned 
    (restricted time counting down) 
    The control privilege status indicator is shown 
    in blue. 
    The [Obtain/Release Camera Control] button 
    in the VB Viewer is blue in the center. 
    The [Obtain/Release Camera Control] button 
    in the Admin Viewer is yellow green in the 
    center.

    The frame lines within the display area show the 
    image currently being captured by the camera. 
    Blue frame lines mean that you do not have camera 
    control privileges.
    Yellow frame lines mean that you have camera 
    control privileges.

    Camera Control button (p. 134).  
     If [Digital Zoom] is set to [Enable] in [Camera] on the Setting 
    page, the icon for the digital zoom telephoto end is displayed. 
    (p. 44).
     Zoom refers to digital zoom only.
    „Change the Zoom Ratio in the Panorama 
    Display Area  
    You can change the zoom ratio by dragging the yellow 
    frame lines in the panorama window and changing the

    Digital PTZ panel to specify the range to display in the 
    video display area.
    The preview frame is blue when you have not obtained

    control privileges, the preview frame turns yellow and you 
    can use the following procedures to resize and move it.
    „Changing the Size
    You can resize the preview frame by dragging it. The 
    preview frame turns blue during dragging. The video 
    inside the frame is displayed in the video display area in 
    accordance with the size of the frame.
    Note
    The preview frame size can be set to any of five sizes (the 
    changed size is displayed under [Video Size] on the digital PTZ 
    panel).
    The sizes that can be selected depend on the [Video Size Set] 
    setting under [Video] > [All Videos] on the Setting page (p. 46). 
    If the video size set is [1920 x 1080 / 960 x 540 / 480 x 270] or [1280 
    x 720 / 640 x 360 / 320 x 180], video sizes 640 x 360, 512 x 288, 384 
    x 216, 256 x 144, and 128 x 72 can be selected. The aspect ratio is 
    16:9.
    If the video size set is [1280 x 960 / 640 x 480 / 320 x 240], video 
    sizes 640 x 480, 512 x 384, 384 x 288, 256 x 192, and 128 x 96 
    can be selected. The aspect ratio is 4:3.

    of the frame.
    If you click any position in the Digital PTZ display area, the 
    preview frame moves to the clicked position.
    Note

    position.
    „Specifying a Range with the Sliders
    You can use the pan, tilt, and zoom sliders for the video 
    display area to specify the cropping range in the video
