a Safe Use of Equipment

a IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

In these safety instructions, the word

“equipment” refers to the Canon Network

Camera Server VB101 and all its

accessories.

Quick stops, excessive force, and

uneven surfaces may cause the

equipment and cart combination to

overturn.

1. Read Instructions - All the safety and

operating instructions should be read

before the equipment is operated.

9. Power Sources - The PA-V16 AC

adapter should be operated only from

the type of power source indicated on

the marking label. If you are not sure of

the type of power supply to your home,

consult your equipment dealer or local

power company.

10. Polarization - The PA-V16 AC adapter

is equipped with a polarized 2-prong

plug (a plug having one blade wider than

the other).

2. Retain Instructions - The safety and

operating instruction should be retained

for future reference.

3. Heed Warnings - All warnings on the

equipment and in the operating

instructions should be adhered to.

4. Follow Instructions - All operating and

maintenance instructions should be

followed.

The 2-prong polarized plug will fit into

the power outlet only one way. This is a

safety feature. If you are unable to insert

Chapter

Before Using the VB101

This chapter contains information that you should read before

using the VB101. It also describes the features of the VB101, the

system configuration, the hardware and software requirements,

and the name and functions of the system components.

Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.

Features of the VB101

The VB101 is a system that distributes live videos via the Internet or an Intranet. It can be used in a wide

variety of applications such as distributing live videos or monitoring from a Web site. The system is

configured of the VB101 and viewer software. Please use the supplied viewer software to view videos

distributed from the VB101 or to control a camera.

IBroad band Video Distribution Function

Video can be captured at a maximum of 30 fps. Motion-JPEG is used to compress the video

images. The network auto switches between Ethernet 100 MBPS and 10 Mbps, and if a PC card

modem is used, the analog public line network or the PFS network (PIAFS) can also be used.

Since video quality (1-99) and the frame rate (0.1-30 fps) can be freely set, video can be

distributed under conditions that best suit the network bandwidth.

ISimultaneous video reception by up to 40 users

Up to 40 clients can view videos simultaneously with a single VB101 unit.

IRemote camera control from the viewer

Two types of viewer software are provided: Helper Viewer and Java Viewer. These viewers can

be used to freely control the angle (pan and tilt) and the zoom magnification of cameras installed

in a remote location, enabling viewing videos with plenty of ambiance.

IControl for up to 4 cameras

Up to 4 video cameras can be connected to the VB101, and videos that you view can be switched

from the viewer. If Canon Communications VC-C4/VC-C4R cameras are used, you will be able to

control all cameras (using the cascade function of the VC-C4/VC-C4R).

IPanorama picture creation function and various settings

The camera's entire recordable area can be created as a panorama picture and saved. The saved

picture can then be used to easily and visually set view restrictions and presets.

ICamera position preset function

When presets such as camera angles (direction in which camera is aimed or zoom position) are

stored in advance, the camera can be controlled by simply selecting the desired preset from the

viewer. Up to 8 sets of presets can be stored.

IView restriction function

Restrictions can be applied to zoom magnifications and angle settings to

prevent viewers from seeing certain camera angles. When using the VB101 to

operate a fixed point camera over the Internet, for example, it is possible to

consider privacy when distributing videos (page 1, "Request Concerning the

Disclosure of Live Pictures").

IBuilt-in Web server and FTP server

The VB101 has a built-in Web server. If Web page data is written onto a flash memory card (sold

separately), the VB101 will be able to distribute Web pages and videos over the Web. Since the

VB101 also has a built-in FTP server, Web page data can be sent from a remote location as a file

(FTP).

Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.

Features of the VB101

IEasy setting and administration

Since the VB101 provides settings pages that utilize the Web, you can use a PC and Web

browser to make settings and perform administrative tasks remotely without going to the location

where the VB101 is installed.

IPlenty of expandability

The VB101 includes 2 card slots, allowing a modem or flash memory card to be added to suit

various applications.

ILog function

The Log function lets you save log information such as errors and access conditions in a file

and send it to specific email addresses.

IStrengthened security function

Passwords can be used to restrict destinations where videos are sent. Up to 30 clients can be

registered.

IPicture recording via link with external device or schedule

Still pictures can be recorded based on ON/OFF events from an external device or schedules set

in advance. Moreover, if VBCollector is used, still pictures recorded by the VB101 can be

automatically collected by a PC and viewed.

This system configuration consists of the VB101 with WebView Livescope Viewer Software (→ P.18). The

WebView Livescope Viewer Software consists of the Helper Viewer and the Java Viewer.

Helper Viewer must be installed in advance from the supplied CD-ROM, while Java Viewer is not installed in

advance but automatically downloaded from the VB101. Since Java Viewer is downloaded each time you want to

view videos, it is useful when viewing videos for the first time. Helper Viewer, however, is more convenient when you

want to view videos frequently.

If you want to distribute live videos of places such as popular tourist destinations from Web pages, it is best for your

Web page visitors to use the Java Viewer that does not need to be installed in advance.

IViewer software types and functions

Viewer Software

Java Viewer

Functions

Videos from the VB101 can be displayed by a Web browser that can run Java applet.

Because the Java Viewer is automatically downloaded and does not need to be pre-installed, unlike

the Helper Viewer, it is compatible with any platform that supports Java-capable environments.

Because it uses the HTTP protocol, the Java Viewer penetrates firewalls. However, it may

not run stably on some platforms or browser types.

Also, because the Viewer is downloaded when the Web page loads, start-up times and

execution speeds are slower than the Helper Viewer.

A helper application for viewing videos from the VB101 that is launched from a Web browser.

The Helper Viewer must be pre-installed.

Install Helper Viewer from the supplied CD-ROM.

Helper Viewer

Compared with the Java Viewer, start-up is faster because the Viewer does not need to be

downloaded. This Viewer is recommended for users who use it frequently.

Because it supports the HTTP protocol, the Helper Viewer penetrates firewalls unscathed.

To connect the VB101 to the Internet, you require a leased line connection to an

Internet service provider or a LAN-type dialup IP connection. If you are using a LAN-

type dialup connection, check that the connection supports bidirectional calling.

Install Helper Viewer from "Mo Setup.exe" on the supplied CD-ROM.

Using a PC Card

The VB101 has 2 card slots, and you can store Web page data, etc. by inserting a flash memory card into

one of these slots.

Procedure for Using Flash Memory Cards

Insert the flash memory card

into the VB101.

VB101 rear panel

You can insert the card into either

Flash memory card

slot. But if flash memory cards are

inserted in both slots, you cannot use both cards at the same time. Preparation is

complete when the LED on the front of the VB101 changes from green to orange.

Create the directories.

Create directories named "htdocs" and "logs", for Web page data (hereafter referred to

as content) and log data respectively, on the flash memory card. You can create the

directories using ftp commands or by inserting the flash memory card into a notebook

PC etc and using file operations.

Save the content.

You can save the content to the flash memory card using either file operations on a

notebook PC etc or remotely using FTP. When a flash memory card is inserted

correctly, it is mounted in the VB101 file system as a directory named "/card". The

content data is stored as files in the /card/htdocs directory (file names made up of eight

alphanumeric characters followed by a three-character extension). Data can also be

stored in the flash memory built into the VB101. However, due to the limited available

space (550 kilobytes), only the minimum required amount of data can be stored.

G To use a Web browser as an FTP client:

Insert "user name: password@" before the IP address, as in "ftp://

root:VB101@192.168.100.1/card/htdocs". The FTP user is restricted to the

system administrator (→ P.32). The VB101 does not support anonymous FTP.

G Use only flash memory cards recommended by Canon.

Picture Recording and External Device I/O Settings Page

Use this page to specify the operating condition for the picture recording function. Settings on this

page can be used to record still pictures in response to inputs from an external device (sensor,

etc.) and based on a predetermined schedule (up to 10000 picures).

Picture Recording Common Settings

"Max No. of Pictures to be Recorded"

Specifies the upper limit for the number of

pictures to be recorded. This value can be

from 1 to 10,000.

"Auto Deletion of Recorded Pictures"

Recorded pictures can automatically be

deleted on the specified time after the

specified number of days has passed.

"No. of days recorded pictures held"

Specifies how many days the recorded

picture data will be kept in a flash memory

card. The recorded data which exceeded the

days specified in "No. of days recorded

pictures held" is erased daily at the time

specified in "Recoreded picture delete time".

In this manner, picture recording function

does not keep data on a permanent basis, so

use FTP to transfer the data files or replace

the flash memory card when needed.

Picture files are placed in the /card /images

directory.

Flash Memory card is required for

recording pictures.

Files created at yyyy/mm/dd/HH/MM/SS/CC

(CC = 1/100th sec. units) are placed in the

yyyymmdd/HHQQ (QQ = 15-min. units)

subdirectory under the name

"Recording Priority"

When there is a conflict between the timing of recording

specified in a schedule and "Recording between ON

event and OFF event", this setting specifies which

recording takes priority. Tick "Recording triggered by

external device" or "Recording triggered by schedule".

The factory default setting gives priority to "Recording

triggered by external device" .

"Recorded picture delete time"

Sets the time at which picture files are deleted.

G Still pictures are recorded on a flash memory card (sold separately). Even if

the settings on this page are specified, the Picture Recording function does

not perform if there is no memory card in the VB101 slot.

Note

G The data size that can be recorded for a still picture is less than 32 KB. If

this amount is exceeded, the picture will not be recorded. The number of

pictures that can be recorded depends on flash memory card capacity,

however the maximum number of pictures that can be recorded is 10000.

G The data size for a still picture varies depending on the settings for video capture

size and video quality (→ P.43), and the subject. As a guide, approximately 5-10

KB is the standard when the video capture size is set to 320x240 and the video

quality is set to 30 (In some cases this may be exceeded). To check the amount of

data for a still picture, select "View" - "Video information" from the menu after you

start up the Helper Viewer, then check the "Size" value.

Tip

G When recording pictures, it is convenient to do so in combination with

VBCollector, which automatically collects recorded still pictures. (→ P.127)

Listing Guidelines

Descriptions in the Authorized/Restricted Host List are extremely complex, and errors in the

settings can result in access being prohibited where it should be permitted. To avoid this, follow

the guidelines given below with great care.

1.Left-align the mask

172.20.0.0/255.255.0.0 -- Correct

172.0.28.0/255.0.255.0 -- Incorrect

2.Use denied entries mainly rather than permitted entries.

!172.20.26.0/255.255.255.0

!172.20.28.0/255.255.255.0

3.Make permitted entries subsets of denied entries.

172.20.26.0/255.255.255.0

172.20.28.0/255.255.255.0

!172.20.0.0/255.255.0.0

4.List specific entries before generic entries.

Not like this:

!172.20.0.0/255.255.0.0

172.20.28.0/255.255.255.0

Like this:

172.20.28.0/255.255.255.0

!172.20.0.0/255.255.0.0

5.Avoid risky settings.

0.0.0.0/255.255.255.255

10.0.0.0/0.0.0.0

Such specification are not prohibited, but will effectively prohibit access from all hosts. Avoid

entry !0.0.0.0/0.0.0.0 in particular wherever possible.

G The default value for "mask" is 255.255.255.255.

G If you do not make a list, access is permitted to all hosts.

G If the list provided prohibits access for all hosts, the Host Restriction

function is disabled and access is permitted to all hosts.

Note

G To prohibit access over HTTP connection via a proxy server, the address of

the proxy server must be set.

G If you set the host restriction incorrectly, access to the settings page itself

may be denied. In this event, the problem can only be recovered by

restoring the factory default settings. (→ P.160)

Log Viewer

The VB101 includes a feature that writes operating status to a log file and saves it. Log Viewer simplifies

the reading of log files and provides management and resolution of errors. Log Viewer not only displays all

logs, it is also capable of filtering so that only the required information is displayed.

To view logs, it is necessary first to make log settings on the VB101 so that

logs will be written into a file on the VB101. Also, Log Viewer is used only for

viewing logs; it cannot save or delete logs. (See p.58 for details.)

Creating Web Pages

This chapter describes how to use the VB101 to webcast

information.

Picture data can be distributed in various ways, including

displaying video or still pictures and displaying multiple images on

a Web page.

Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.

Web Pages for Video Distribution

To distribute picture data by VB101, you create a dedicated web page. The viewers that can be used with

the VB101 are "Java Viewer (with or without camera control function)" and "Helper Viewer", and detailed

parameters can be specified for each of these. You need to determine which of these viewers is supported

and create the Web page for the viewer.

G File Names

The VB101 can handle file names consisting of up to 8 characters followed

by a 3-character extension. Note that the names of applets built into the

VB101 are exceptions to this rule.

Note

G The VB101 includes a built-in Web server. If the content of Web pages used

for distributing video is stored onto a the flash memory, the VB101 can be

used alone for distributing Web pages and videos over the Web. Refer to

step 3 on page 27 for information on saving content.

You can use the Language setting function for the Browser to create a multi-

lingual Web site. For example, if you set the French-language top page as

index-fr.htm and the English-language top page as index.htm and supply

users with a URL address terminates in slash, such as http://vb101/sample/,

the server will transmit a file that corresponds with the language setting for

the Browser. For further information on the Language setting function for the

Browser, refer to the Browser Help.

Web Pages for Video Distribution

Features of the Java Viewers

These viewers are supplied as Java applets. They run on Web browsers that are Java-capable,

such as the Netscape Navigator and Microsoft Internet Explorer browsers. The applets are

downloaded from the camera server to the Web browser and are then run by the Web browser. The

features of the Java Viewers are described below.

Video distribution and camera operation using the WebView-HTTP

protocol. Penetrate firewalls to access external sites.

Because they are automatically downloaded, the Java Viewers do not

need to be pre-installed by the client.

Java Viewers run on a wide variety of platforms .

Because the Java applets are downloaded using the HTTP protocol when the

Viewer starts up, the start up time is longer than the Helper Viewer.

Tip

Java Viewer Types

Two Java Viewers are "LiveApplet", which has video display and camera control functions, and

"Glimpse", which only has video display functions. Because both viewers use WebView-HTTP as

the transfer protocol, they do not require special settings to penetrate firewalls.

IViewer Types

Viewer Name

Functions

LiveApplet

Allows overlays and superimposition of bitmaps in the video frame.

* Because video is not displayed until the viewer has finished

downloading, video display takes longer than with the Helper Viewer.

Allows the video distribution interval to be set.

* Downloading is faster than "LiveApplet" because it has only simple

functions and size is small.

Web Pages for Video Distribution

Features of the Helper Viewer

The Helper Viewer is an application which is launched from a Web browser. Unlike the Java

Viewer, it must be pre-installed on the client's computer. The features of the Helper Viewer are

described below.

Must be pre-installed, but once installed, start-up time is quick and

operation is stable.

The Helper Viewer can use WebView-HTTP protocol and can penetrate

firewalls to access external sites.

However, this cannot pass through with the WebView-Tcp protocol (→

P.111).

Can be run as a stand-alone application.

expressed as <_I_P_A_D_D_R_> (all upper-case characters, including the angle

brackets) in the two file types (htm,wvh) used by the Web server in the VB101.

Since <_I_P_A_D_D_R> is replaced with the actual IP address when accessed,

the Web page does not need to be changed even when the IP address for the

VB101 is changed. In addition, NAT can be supported by specifying a Web page

global address. (→ P. 57, 115)

Creating wvh files

This section describes how to create the wvh file required for launching the Helper Viewer application.

Use a text editor or similar program to create a new text file and type the following type of

code in the file:

(Example) 192.168.100.1 65310

192.168.100.1 65311

wvhttp:192.168.100.1 80

G The first line gives the IP address (or host name) of the VB101 and the TCP port

number used for the video transmission service.

The default setting is 65310 (→ P.55). The default setting will be used if no particular

value is specified.

G The second line gives the IP address (or host name) of the VB101 and the TCP port

number used for the camera control. The default setting is 65310 (→ P.55). The default

setting will be used if no particular value is specified.

G The third line gives the setting for the Helper Viewer to use HTTP protocol. After

"wvhttp:", type in the IP address of the VB101 and "80" as the HTTP port number. As a

result of this, you will be able to view video images from the VB101 through firewalls.

* Type in the actual IP address (or host name) set for the VB101 .

After you save the text file and quit the text editor program, create a wvh file by changing

the file name and extension. Be sure to add the ".wvh" extension, as in "WebView.wvh".

File names can contain up to 8 characters. (eg. WebView)

Helper Viewer supports WebView Livescope protocol and HTTP protocol.

G WebView Livescope protocol: Cannot be viewed through firewalls. This

protocol is primarily for clients who are connected directly to the Internet.

G HTTP protocol: In general, this protocol is used with Web browsers. By

using this protocol, clients inside firewalls can view videos by penetrating

firewalls. The Java Viewer also uses this protocol.

Chapter

Using the Picture

Recording Function

This chapter describes a couple of specific examples of the Picture

Recording function using the VB101. This function can be used to

automatically capture still pictures according to a preset schedule

or in response to inputs from an external device.

Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.

Using the Still Picture Recording Function Linked to an External Device

By using the "External Device Input 1/2" setting and connecting devices such as sensors and switches to

the VB101, you can construct a monitoring system that operates in response to external events. The still

pictures captured in this way are recorded on a flash memory card inserted into the VB101.

Sample application in combination with a door-opening sensor and lighting unit

This is a monitoring system in which the lighting unit needed to take pictures switches on when the

door opens and the VC-C4R camera mounted on the ceiling captures still pictures. The equipment

shown in the figure below is connected to the terminals on the rear of the VB101 at installation.

Viewing and Distributing Recorded Pictures

Pictures Search CGI

The pictures search CGI includes the enum command to generate a list of recorded pictures that

satisfy the search criteria, the desc command to generate the video data display page, and the

data command to retrieve the video data.

enum Command

The enum command is used to generate a list display page for the search page and to generate

a page for SnapAnimator. The items displayed in the recorded picture list generated by the

enum command are displayed in order of the time they were recorded.

Ienum Command Parameters

Parameter Name

type

Details

List format. Specify "html" to specify a list display page, or "anim" to specify a page

for SnapAnimator.

Specifies the HTTP server. If this parameter is omitted, the IP address of the client side

network interface is used*1.

server

target

locale

Target frame name for list display. Mandatory when a multi-frame configuration is

used to construct the picture search page.

Language used to display the desc command attribute information. Specify "english" for English-language display and "japanese"

for Japanese-language display. The default value is "english". When an undefined value is specified, the default value is used.

Specifies the range for the search results. Specify an integer of 0 or more for either. Of the list

of recorded pictures that satisfy the search criteria, the list displayed excludes the number of

items specified by the skip parameter from the beginning of the list and includes items up to

the limit imposed by the limit parameter. If these parameters are omitted or erroneous values

are specified, skip is set to 0 and limit to 100. If limit is set to 0, no limit is applied.

skip/limit

Specifies the trigger that governs the main cause of picture recording. A setting of i0 restricts

any external input, and i1 and i2 restrict external input to inputs 1 and 2. A setting of s0 restricts

any schedule setting, and s1, s2, s3 and s4 restrict schedule setting to settings 1,2,3, and 4. If

this parameter is omitted, or an undefined value is specified, the trigger is unrestricted.

Camera number used for recording. Specify a value from 1 to 4 as the camera number. If this

parameter is omitted or an undefined value is specified, the camera number is unrestricted.

Start time for the recording period. Specify a setting using the "yyyymmddHHMMSS" format

(yyyy: year; mm: month; dd: day; HH: hour; MM: minute; SS: second). If this parameter is

omitted or an erroneous value is specified, the start time for the recording period is unrestricted.

A part of the mmddHHMMSS parameter can be omitted. The default settings are 01

for mm and dd, and 00 for HH, MM and SS.

End time for the recording period. The specification format and the handling of omitted or

erroneous parameters is the same as for ts. A part of the mmddHHMMSS parameter can be

omitted. The default settings are 12 for mm, 31 for dd, 23 for HH, and 59 for MM and SS.

*1 This is a function that corresponds to address replacement using <_I_P_A_D_D_R_>.

However, you cannot specify <_I_P_A_D_D_R_> itself.

Viewing and Distributing Recorded Pictures

Distributing Recorded Pictures

Distributing pictures that have been recorded

If you forward a picture (JPEG) recorded with the Schedule recording function and copy it, or

remove the card, download the picture to a PC and embed the picture in a Web page, you can

create a still-picture distribution page.

Distributing pictures in SnapAnimator display format

Pseudo-animations (→ P.123) are created using the SnapAnimator applet. The following example

is a SnapAnimator description in a HTML source. Customize the description between <APPLET>

and </APPLET> to enter the picture in the place you want to paste it.

<APPLET CODEBASE="http://192.168.100.1/-wvdoc-01-/SnapAnimator/"

code="SnapAnimator.class"

archive="SnapAnimator.zip" width=320 height=300>

<PARAM NAME=image0 VALUE="http://192.168.100.1/-vbidb-/data?20000102/

03040507">

<PARAM NAME=image1 VALUE="http://192.168.100.1/-vbidb-/data?20000216/

10100713">

<PARAM NAME=image1 VALUE="http://192.168.100.1/-vbidb-/data?20000316/

01100815">

...

</APPLET>

* The underlined text is an IP address. Enter the actual IP address set for the VB101.

ISnapAnimator parameters

Description

Parameter

image0

Specifies the URL of the picture file. When specifying multiple picture files,

specify them successively as image1, image2, etc.

Specifies the time at which image0 was taken. Written in the "Y/M/D H:M"

format.

time0

The above example was generated using an emum command for the picture search CGI. By using this

description to properly specify the image0 and time0 parameters, you can also create an picture distribution

page that displays any still pictures (JPEG) you have on hand as pseudo-animations. In this case, enter the

time stamp that corresponds with the name of the picture file that you want to display in the shaded area and

enter the imageX and timeX parameters for the number of pictures which you want to display.

Using VBCollector

VBCollector is used to view pictures recorded by the VB101. With VBCollector, you can collect and display still

pictures recorded by the VB101 based on inputs from an external device or schedules. VBCollector accesses the

VB101 at specific times expressed in units such as dates, weeks, or months, and then downloads the recorded

pictures. Since the recorded pictures are saved one after another in the PC on which VBCollector is installed,

pictures can still be securely saved when the allowable limit on the number of pictures that the VB101 can record

and save has been exceeded. Downloaded images can also be easily viewed in the Web browser.

Troubleshooting

This chapter explains how to deal with problems that arise with the

operation of the VB101 and other faults.

Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.

Troubleshooting

Before you contact your Canon dealer or service outlet, check the items listed below. If a log message is

displayed, refer to the log message list for the log details and the appropriate response.

The VB101 does not start up. The Power lamp does not light.

G Check that the AC cable is connected correctly. (→ P.25)

G Switch the VB101 off and then on again (→ P.24).

G If initial settings (see p. 33) have not been made, the Power LED illuminates in orange,

but this does not indicate a malfunction. Please make the initial settings.

If the Power LED stays orange and does not change to green, this indicates that there is a system fault.

Restore the factory default settings (→ P.160). If this does not resolve the problem, contact your Canon dealer.

The initial setup tools do not work.

G Check that the RS-232C cable used for setup is connected correctly. (→ P.25)

G Check that you have selected the correct COM port. (→ P.33)

G Check that there are no other active applications (terminal software, etc.) that are using

the COM port.

I cannot access the VB101 over the network.

G Check that the LAN cable is connected correctly. (→ P.25)

G Check that the VB101 network settings are correct. In particular, check that the IP address,

subnet mask and default gateway address settings are valid for the network you are using.

(→ P.33, 38)

G If you have changed the IP address, the new IP address does not take effect until you

reboot the VB101. Be sure to restart the VB101 after changing settings.

G If access control for the VB101 is being used, check the settings (→ P.52).

G Check that the IP address or URL settings in the viewer software are correct.

G If the NAT function of the router is used, check that the VB101's IP address noted on the

Web page is correct.

The video does not appear.

G Check that the camera is switched on and that the video cable is connected correctly.

G If the video quality is poor, check the video quality settings on the VB101 (→ P.43). Also,

check settings such as the number of background colors as on the viewer PC.

G You can limit the number of viewers that can access the VB101 at the same time (→

P.55). The message without video is displayed when this limit is exceeded.

G If you cannot see the video using the Java Viewer, check system settings such as the

browser version (→ P.18). Up-to-date information is provided on the VB101 Website.

(URL: http://www.canon.com/webview/)

G To view video using the Helper Viewer, it must first be installed (see p. 16). Please install

Helper Viewer after confirming the operating environment (see p. 18).

Troubleshooting

I can't control the camera.

G Check that the RS-232C cable for camera control is connected correctly. (→ P.25)

G Check that the VB101 control port for the corresponding camera is set correctly. (→ P.33)

G Check that the VB101 camera control is not restricted (→ P.55).

G Check to see if the camera angle is restricted by a preset (see p. 47).

G If you have changed the baud rate for the serial port on the camera, ensure that the

camera control baud rate setting on the VB101 matches the camera settings (→ P.43).

I forgot the password.

G You will have to return the VB101 to a service center. Please contact your Canon dealer.

I cannot record or search pictures.

G Check that the flash memory card has been inserted properly. (→ P.27)

G When the number of recorded pictures exceeds the limit, erase pictures that you do not

need or replace the memory card.

G Check that the camera is on and the cable has been connected properly. (→ P.25)

G A maximum of 32K bytes can be recorded for each picture. Reduce video capture size or

lower the video quality. (→ P.48)

G If there is an error in the search results, try to recover the index (/card/images/index.vbi).

Click on the "Rebuild" button (Rebuilding the recorded picture list) on the Administration

tools page to recover the index (→ P.59).

If you have a problem, consult the ReadMe also. The ReadMe file may contain

External Device I/O Terminals

External Device Input Terminals (In1, In2)

The external device input terminals consist of 2 terminals (In1 and In2), one of which is '+' (red) and

another is '-' (black). The '-' terminal is grounded on the inside of the main unit. By connecting two

cables to the + and – terminals and then electrically short-circuiting across the terminals (ON) or

separating the connection (OFF), an interrupt can be generated for the internal controller. See "Picture

Recording and External Device I/O Settings Page" in Chapter 3 "Setup Procedures" (→ P.49) for

information on the settings.

Connect any sensors and switches to terminals with electrically separate GND terminals and

power supplies.

External Device Output Terminals (Out1, Out2)

The external device output terminals consist of 2 white terminals (Out1 and Out2). Both terminal

combinations are peers. The Internal controller switches the two output terminals to disconnected

or connected condition. The output terminals use optocouplers and are separate from the internal

circuit in the VB101. Loads connected to the output terminals should be within the following

ratings:

Rating across the output terminals: Up to 50 V

Continuous load current: 200
