VB-C60 Viewer The following explains VB-C60 Viewer, which allows you to access the camera using a web browser to display live video, pan, tilt and zoom of the camera, control the exposure, control the night mode, adjust the white balance, control the focus and control the smart shade control function, etc.
3-2 Overview of VB-C60 Viewer VB-C60 Viewer is a viewer that lets you access the network camera VB-C60 via a web browser to display image and operate the camera via pan, tilt and zoom control, etc. Two types of viewers, Admin Viewer and VB Viewer, are available for VB-C60 Viewer. Major Differences Between Admin Viewer and VB Viewer zThe operable ranges are different. Admin Viewer : In addition to displaying video from the camera, you can use the basic camera controls such as pan, tilt and zoom operations as well as an administrative control functions such as focus, exposure and white balance. VB Viewer : You can only display video from the camera and access basic camera controls such as pan, tilt and zoom operations. Note Use RM-Lite Viewer if you want to display MPEG-4 video from the camera. Only JPEG video can be displayed using the built-in VB-C60 Viewer. Admin ViewerVB Viewer VB-C60 Viewer
3-3 Overview of VB-C60 Viewer VB-C60 Viewer zAccessible controls are different. Admin Viewer : Users with the Privileged Camera Control can use this viewer. Password authentication is required. Authorized users must have the Privileged Camera Control assigned by the Administrator beforehand ( P. 1-41). VB Viewer : Users with the Camera Control can use this viewer. You can set the applicable options to enable/disable password authentication or limit pan, tilt and zoom controls of the camera, etc ( P. 1-41). User Authorities and Camera Control Privileges The relationships of user authorities and camera control privileges are specified below. * Can be changed: The Administrator can change a given authority of an authorized user or guest user. The user can have four authorities including Privileged Camera Control, Camera Control, Image Distribution and Audio Distribution. To use Admin Viewer, the user must have the Privileged Camera Control. To display video using VB Viewer, the user must have the Image Distribution. To also operate the camera using VB Viewer, the user must have the Camera Control, as well. The Audio Distribution authority is required to receive audio using Admin Viewer and VB Viewer. [Administrator] This user has all authorities. The user name is fixed to root. The Administrator can launch Admin Viewer from the [ Admin Viewer] link on the top page. User authority Camera control privileges Image DistributionAudio DistributionPrivileged Camera ControlCamera Control Administrator cc c c Authorized User c (Can be changed) c (Can be changed) c (Can be changed) c (Can be changed) Guest User × c (Can be changed) c (Can be changed) c (Can be changed)
3-4 Overview of VB-C60 Viewer [Authorized User]The authorized user can launch Admin Viewer from the [ Admin Viewer] link on the top page if he/ she has the Privileged Camera Control. Upon losing the Privileged Camera Control, the authorized user can no longer launch VB Viewer. However, he/she can still launch Admin Viewer. Launching of VB Viewer by a given authorized user can be prohib ited by disabling all authorities of the user ( P. 1-41). [Guest User] This user can only perform pan, tilt and zoom controls of the camera, backlight compensation, video display and audio distribution. The Administrator can launch VB Viewer from the [ VB Viewer] link on the top page. The Administrator can prevent all camera accesses by a guest user by disabling all authorities of the user. Note z Admin Viewer launched by an [ Administrator] can take over the camera control privileges from Admin Viewer launched by an [ Authorized User] at any time. The Administrator can retain the camera control privileges, in wh ich case authorized users cannot obtain the camera control privileges. After viewing the necessary information, the Administrator should always close the viewer or click Obtain/release Camera Control button to release the control privileges. z Admin Viewer launched by an [ Administrator] can access only one camera at a time. If one user is accessing the camera from a given PC with the Administrator authorities, other users cannot access the camera from other PCs with the Administrator authorities. On the other handAdmin Viewer launched by an [ Authorized User] allows the camera to be accessed from multiple PCs at the same time. Take note, however, that if the camera is to be controlled, the control privileges are given to the user who accessed the camera last.
