     A folder is created once per hour.
     If the time difference is added to the starting and ending times, it will equal the local time.
    „File Name Format for Data Downloaded with Recorded Video Utility
    Example: Video, manually recorded on Sept. 10, 2015, starting from 16:06:19 (Camera Time Zone: GMT+09:00).
    (1) Video recording date
    (2) File creation time (UTC)
    (3) Recording start time (UTC)
    (4) Recording type
    E: Event
    M: Manual recording
    R: Recording-mode stream
    T: Timer
    U: Upload
    Note
     The file creation time will be earlier than the actual start of recording time.
     If multiple video files were created because recording continued for several seconds or more, a new file name with different values for 
    (2) and the sequential number ending will be used. In the above example, if recording starts at 16:09:19, and the next file is switched to 
    4 seconds later, the file name will be as follows.
    20150910070623-070619-M00_508.mov
    Since this is a continuation of the recording that started at 16:09:19, the recording start time (3) will remain as “070619”. The sequential 
    number at the end of the file name will be increased by one increment.
    20150910 070618-070619- M 00 _ 507 .mov

    Troubleshooting
    ProblemCountermeasures
    The camera does not start.  Check if the LAN cable is connected correctly.  
     Turn the camera off and on again (see “Installation Guide” > “Connecting the 
    Camera”). 
    The top page of the camera is not displayed. Check if the LAN cable is connected correctly. 
     Check if the network to which the camera is connected is set up correctly. In 
    particular, check if the IP address, subnet mask and default gateway address are set 
    within the ranges supported by the applicable network. 
     If you have changed the IP address, the new address will not become effective until 
    the camera is rebooted. 
     Check if the correct URI (camera IP address) is entered in your web browser (p. 28, 
    p. 76, p. 128). 
     Check whether the connection is from a computer whose access is blocked in 
    [Access Control] on the Setting page. 
     Check the authentication method, [User Name], [Password], combination of 
    certificates, and network rules for connection in [802.1X] on the Setting page with the 
    system administrator. 
    The Admin Tools will not start.
    The Admin Viewer will not start. “Your web browser is not supported.” If this message is displayed, use Internet 
    Explorer 8 or greater.
     “Application could not be started. Install .NET Framework x.x (x is the version).” If this 
    message is displayed, install the corresponding version of .NET Framework or enable 
    settings (p. 18).
     “JavaScript is not available or disabled on your web browser.” If this message is 
    displayed, set [Active Script] to [Enable] in Internet Explorers security settings. (See 
    (3) below for instructions on how to set this.)
     “The settings from (1) to (3) below must be carried out to use the Admin Viewer and 
    Admin Tools.” If this message is displayed, set the following.
     (1) Install the Admin Tools Certificate with the installer (p. 26).
     (2) When using Internet Explorer 9 or greater, follow the steps in “Registering the 
    IP address of the Camera as a Trusted Site” (p. 19) and add this web site to 
    [Trusted sites] in Internet Explorers security settings.
     (3) In Internet Explorer click [Tools] > [Internet Options] > [Security] > [Custom 
    level] and under the Security Settings list, set [XAML browser applications], 
    [File download] and [Launching programs and files in an IFRAME] to [Enable]. 
    Video is not displayed.   To improve video quality, refer to “[Video] Setting Video Size, Quality and Frame Rate” 
    in “Chapter 3 Setting Page” (p. 50) to change settings and make adjustments. 
     Up to 30 viewers can access the camera at the same time. If this limit has been 
    exceeded, video is not displayed and a message appears. 
     When you are using Internet Explorer 10 or 11 in a 64-bit operating system and the 
    camera is registered as a trusted site and protected mode is enabled, reception and 
    playback of H.264 video may be disabled. If this occurs, disable protected mode.
    There is no audio.  If there is no audio, check the audio server settings of the camera and also check the 
    sound and audio device settings for the computer. 
     If you are using the Admin Viewer with the administrator authorities, check if the 
    camera is connected to the RM Viewer or another viewer that lets the administrator 
    use audio. 
     In VB Viewer, audio cannot be used if the Canon Network Camera Audio Receiver 
    add-on is not installed.
     When you are using Internet Explorer 10 or 11 in a 64-bit operating system and the 
    camera is registered as a trusted site and protected mode is enabled, reception and 
    playback of audio may be disabled. If this occurs, disable protected mode.

    The camera cannot be controlled.   If you connect the Admin Viewer as an administrator, you will have exclusive 
    possession of the camera control privileges. If you connect to the Admin Viewer as an 
    Authorized User, you cannot control the camera unless the administrator releases 
    camera control.  Consult the Administrator (p. 126). 
     The pan, tilt, focus and zoom may operate abnormally if the pan and 
    tilt operational durability estimates are exceeded (p. 132).
    The viewer gets disconnected.   Check the network and computer for abnormality. 
     Reboot the computer and connect again. 
    You forgot your password.  You can initialize all settings of the camera excluding date and time using the reset 
    switch (p. 167). The administrator password required for initialization is “camera”. 
    Note, however, that network settings such as the IP address and subnet mask will be 
    initialized and must be set again. 
    Data cannot be uploaded.  Check the upload destination under the [Upload] menu in the Setting page, as well as 
    the upload operation upon event under the [Event] menu, to see if both are set 
    correctly.
     You can perform an operation check based on the currently set upload destination by 
    running a test (p. 56) from the [Upload] menu. 
     Check [Maintenance] > [View Logs] or logs on the server to check the detailed 
    operating environment. For [View Logs], see “Application (Uploader) Messages” 
    (p. 157).  Also see “Important” in p. 55.
     For the server settings, contact your System Administrator. 
    You cannot use recording-mode stream 
    transmission. You cannot use recording-mode stream transmission if [Upload] > [Upload] is set to 
    HTTP or FTP. Set [Upload] to [Upload Disabled] (p. 55).
    Video cannot be recorded on a memory card.  To record video to a memory card when an event occurs, check the [Video Record 
    Action] settings under [Event] in the setting page. When [Video Record Action] is set 
    to [Upload], change it to [Record to Memory Card].
     When recording-mode stream video that could not be transmitted due to network 
    errors or video for which the HTTP/FTP upload failed is not stored on the memory card, 
    check [Operation Settings] under [Memory Card] in the setting page. When 
    [Operation Settings] is set to [Save Log], change it to [Save Logs and Videos].
     To manually save recordings to a memory card, obtain camera control privileges.
    Files cannot be saved in the Settings page or 
    Admin Tools. Windows prohibits saving to certain folders. Accordingly, an attempt to save a file may 
    fail.  Specify [Documents], [Pictures] and other folders.
    A message indicating “Cannot access the 
    memory card. Please recreate the video 
    management information on the Setting 
    page.” appears when an attempt is made to 
    start up the Recorded Video Utility. Select [Memory Card Information] under [Memory Card] in the setting page to check 
    [Video Management Information Status]. When [Video Management Information 
    Recreation Required] is displayed, click [Exec] in [Recreate Video Management 
    Information] under [Memory Card Operations]. When video management information 
    has been recreated, make sure that [Video Management Information Status] is 
    [Normal].
