142 You can set the camera so that the following data is saved automatically to the camera’s memory card. (“Chapter 4 Setting Page”, “[Memory Card] Memory Card Operations and Settings” (p. 69)). When either the storage capacity of the memory card or the number of files that can be saved is reached, you cannot save further video to the memory card. If this happens, delete any unneeded video files with the Recorded Video Utility. Video files when recording-mode stream transmission failed to be sent due to network errors (JPEG only) Video files when HTTP or FTP upload failed (JPEG/H.264(1)) Video files manually recorded by the user from the Admin Viewer (JPEG/H.264) Video files recorded by [External Device Input], [Volume Detection], and the intelligent functions when an event occurs (JPEG/H.264(1)) Video files recorded using a timer (JPEG/H.264(1)) „Access to the Memory Card Use the Recorded Video Utility (p. 112) of the Admin Tools or FTP software (not included) to access the camera using the camera’s IP address. FTP Software Settings Address: Camera IP address (factory default setting: 192.168.100.1) User ID: Administrator user ID (factory default setting: root) Password: Administrator password (factory default setting: camera) „Directory Structure for Data Downloaded with Recorded Video Utility When video on a memory card is downloaded to a computer with the Recorded Video Utility, folders are created automatically in accordance with conditions such as the camera and the date and time. The following shows the folder structure. Example: H.264 video, manually recorded using a camera with an IP address of 192.168.100.1, on Sept. 10, 2013, from 16:00:00 to 16:59:59 (Camera Time Zone: GMT+09:00). (1) Folder specified with [Download to] (2) IP address of the camera (3) Video recording date (4) Recording start and end times (UTC) (5) Time difference from UTC (6) Recording type E: Event M: Manual recording R: Recording-mode stream T: Timer U: Upload (7) Video format (JPEG or H.264) Note 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. Memory Card Access Important When deleting a video using a method other than the Recorded Video Utility, you must perform [Recreate Video Management Information] under [Memory Card] in the setting page (p. 70). Canon will assume no liability for any accident or damage resulting from use of FTP software. D:\work \ 192.168.100.1 \ 20130910 \ 070000_075959 _ +9 _ M _ H264 (1) (2) (3) (4) (5) (6) (7)
Memory Card Access 143 7 Appendix „File Name Format for Data Downloaded with Recorded Video Utility Example: Video, manually recorded on Sept. 10, 2013, 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. 20130910070623-070619-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. 20130910 070618-070619- M 00 _ 507 .mov (1) (2) (3) (4)

If a log message is displayed, check the details of the message and corresponding countermeasure in the log message list. 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”). VB Initial Setting Tool does not operate. Check if the LAN cable is connected correctly. Turn the camera off and on again (see “Installation Guide” > “Connecting the Camera”). The camera no longer responds to VB Initial Setting Tool 20 minutes after being turned on. Check if the camera and the computer in which the VB Initial Setting Tool is operating are connected to the LAN in the same segment. The VB Initial Setting Tool may not function when the [Windows Firewall] function is enabled. In this case, see “Notes on Use When the [Windows Firewall] Function is Enabled” (p. 19). Check if you are using an older version of the VB Initial Setting Tool. 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. 32, p. 72, p. 123). 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.

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. 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.
Troubleshooting 147 7 Appendix 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. 120). The pan, tilt, focus and zoom may operate abnormally if the pan and tilt operational durability estimates are exceeded (p. 127). 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. 159). 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 in the [Upload] menu, as well as the upload operation upon event in 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. 52) 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. 149). Also see “Important” in p. 51. 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. 51). 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]. ProblemCountermeasures
