4-3 Web Pages for Image Distribution Creating Web Pages for Video Distribution Note zUse a firewall or take other security measures to prevent direct attacks to the camera from the Internet or other external sources. z The VB-C60 has a built-in Web server. Write desired content for the Web page for video distribution in the flash memory in the camera beforehand, and you can publish the Web page and distribute image over the Web usin g the camera alone. 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. Tip You can utilize the language setting function of the browser to create a multi-language Web page. For example, set the top page for Japanese users as index-ja.html and English page for overseas users as index.html, and separa te the URL with slashes, such as http:// 192.168.100.1 /sample/. This way, the server will send 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.
