Before Use
Notes on Use When the [Windows 
Firewall] Function is Enabled
When the Camera Management Tool is started, the 
[Windows Security Alert] dialog box may appear. 
If the [Windows Security Alert] dialog box appears, click 
[Unblock]. 
Once this button is clicked, the warning dialog box will no 
longer appear.
If the [Windows Security Alert] dialog box does not appear, 
the Windows firewall warning function may be disabled. 
Follow the procedure below to add the [Camera 
Management Tool] as a Windows Firewall exception. 
Notes on Use with Internet Explorer 9 or 
Greater and Windows Server 2008/
Windows Server 2012
„Registering the IP address of the Camera as 
a Trusted Site
In Internet Explorer 9 or greater and Windows Server 2008/
Windows Server 2012, the security level for Internet sites and 
intranet sites on Internet Explorer is set to [High] by default. 
Thus, when accessing the Admin Viewer/VB Viewer, the 
camera’s Setting Page or the Admin Tools, a content block 
dialog box appears and the page fails to display correctly. 
To correct this problem, follow the procedure below to 
register the top page as a trusted site. 
Note
 Set the camera IP address with the Camera Management Tool 
(p. 28).
 If you skip registration in this step, you can perform registration 
later using Camera Management Tool (p. 30).
Notes on Operating Environment
1Click [Windows Firewall] in [Control Panel] > [System 
and Security].
2Click [Allow an app or feature through Windows 
Firewall] > [Change settings] > [Allow another app]. 
3Select [Camera Management Tool], and then click 
[Add]. 
1Click [Tools] menu > [Internet Options] in Internet Explorer.
2Click the [Security] tab. 
						

							20
The [Trusted sites] dialog box appears.
Note
 Clear the [Require server verification (https:) for all sites in this 
zone] check box if it is selected. The camera’s IP address will 
be registered to the [Websites] list.
 You can register IP addresses for multiple cameras by using a 
wildcard (*) when entering the IP address. For example, if you 
enter “192.160.1.*”, all cameras that share the “192.160.1” 
portion of the address will be registered as trusted sites.
Notes on Use with Windows Server 2008/
Windows Server 2012
„Registering “about:internet” and the 
Camera Host Name
Admin Viewer and Admin Tools will not start when IE ESC 
(Internet Explorer Enhanced Security Configuration) is 
enabled in Windows Server 2008/Windows Server 2012. 
Before using the tools, register “about:internet” and the 
host name for the connected camera in the Internet 
Explorer “local intranet” and “trusted sites” lists.
„Web Browser Security Settings When Using 
SSL Connection
When an SSL connection to the camera is made from a 
web browser (Internet Explorer 9/10/11) in Windows 
Server 2008/Windows Server 2012, the following 
operations may display the content block dialog box and 
prevent further operation.
 Startup of Admin Tools or Admin Viewer
 Audio reception from VB Viewer
This happens when Internet Explorer Enhanced Security 
Configuration (IE ESC) is enabled in Internet Explorer 9/
10/11. Use the procedures below to change this setting.
3Click [Trusted sites] > [Sites].
4Enter the IP address of the camera under [Add this 
Web site to the zone], then click [Add].
Important
When “about:internet” is registered, the security level in 
Windows 7 is the same as when using Internet Explorer. After 
using the Admin Viewer/Admin Tools, it is recommended that 
you remove “about:internet” and the camera name as 
necessary and restore the original security level. 
1Click [Internet Options] in the [Tools] menu in Internet 
Explorer 9/10/11 and click the [Advanced] tab.
2Clear the [Do not save encrypted pages to disk] 
checkbox in [Security].
