File Name Format
Example: Video, manually recorded on  Sept. 10, 2014, 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
O: ONVIF
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 endin g will be used. In the above example, if recording starts at (16:06:19), and the  new 
file is switched to 4 seconds later, the file name will be as follows.
20140910070623-070619-M000000002.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.
20140910 070618 - 070619 - M 000000001.mov
(1) (2) (3) (4)

According to the setting item, you can specify parameters using modifier “% characters”.
Note
 A runtime error will occur if the specified name does not match.
 If this modifier is not defined, “%” will be deleted.

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 cam era unless the administrator releases 
camera control. Consult the Administrator (P. 138).
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. 270). The administrator password re quired 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 that the upload destination of [Video Record] > [Upload] and the upload 
operation upon an event of the [Ev ent] menu are both set correctly.
 You can perform an operation check based on  the currently set upload destination by 
running a test from the [Upload] menu (P. 99).
 Check [Maintenance] > [Tool] > [View Logs] or logs on the server to check the detailed  operating environment. For details on [View Logs], please refer to “Uploader error” 
(P. 259), “Uploader warning” (P. 262), or “Upload er notification” (P. 265) of “List of Log 
Messages”. Also please refer to “Important” on P. 96.
 For the server settings, contact your System Administrator.
Video cannot be recorded on an memory 
card.  To record video to an memory card when
 an event occurs, check the [Video Record 
Action] settings under [Video Record] > [M emory Card] >[Video Record Setting] 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 [Video Record] > [Memory Card] > [Memory Card 
Operations] in the Setting Page. When [Ope ration Settings] is set to [Save Log], 
change it to [Save Logs and Videos].
 To manually save recordings to an memory  card, obtain camera control privileges.
Files cannot be saved in the Setting 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
