Notes:
• When ON is selected for User Authentication, the
authentication window will be displayed before dis-
playing live images for the user name and password
entries. The default user name and password are as
follows.
User name: admin
Password: 12345
When accessing the camera without changing the

UAL) is selected for Transmission type (page
27), up to 8 users can access the camera concur-
rently. Depending on the set values for Total bit
rate and Max bit rate (per 1 client), the maximum
concurrent access number may be less than 8
users. When 8 users are concurrently accessing, the
access limit message will be displayed for users who
subsequently attempt to access.
• When ON is selected for MPEG-4 transmission
(page 27), an MPEG-4 image will be displayed.
When OFF is selected, a JPEG image will be dis-
played. It is possible to display a JPEG image even
when ON is selected for MPEG-4 transmission.
In this case, the refresh interval will be limited.

• When ON is selected for MPEG-4 transmission
JPEG (VGA): 5 fps
JPEG (QVGA): 10 fps
• When OFF is selected for MPEG-4 transmission
JPEG (VGA or QVGA): 30 fps
The refresh interval may be longer depending on a
network environment, PC spec, photographic sub-
ject, access traffic, etc.
Important:
When displaying multiple MPEG-4 images on a PC,
images may not be displayed depending on the per-
formance of the PC.
