Notes  
When selecting [All] at the View Type, all images are displayed in 160 x  
120 pixels resolution.  
640 x 480 pixels image cannot be displayed on the Multi-Camera page.  
When viewing video (Motion JPEG), we recommend using an Ethernet  
switching hub instead of the repeater hub to prevent degradation in video  
display.  
Due to the network congestion or the number of accesses, the refresh  
interval may slow down.  
When the refresh interval is slow, restrict the bandwidth on the Network  
page (see page 35). The refresh interval may be improved.  
If the video (Motion JPEG) display is limited (see page 55), the video will  
be changed to refreshing still images.  
To reduce the data traffic, the video (Motion JPEG) can be automatically  
changed to refreshing still images (see page 55).  
When viewing 4 cameras on the Multi-Camera page, you may need 3 to 4  
Mbps bandwidth. If the bandwidth is not enough, the refresh interval may  
slow down.  
When the image is not displayed on the Multi-Camera page  
Confirm that the Internet IP address is specified for each camera and that each  
camera is connected to the Internet. For Internet access, local IP addresses  
(192.168.xxx.xxx) cannot be used.  
Confirm the settings on the Multi-Camera Setup page (see page 58).  
Confirm that the web browser is not accessing the proxy server (see page  
107).

characters (alpha numeric) and is case sensitive.  
Communication  
mode  
In "802.11b", there are a lot of 802.11b-compliant products  
and they are inexpensive. They are widely prevalent, so  
"802.11b" is useful when using your existing wireless  
devices.  
"802.11b/g" supports both 802.11b and 802.11g wireless  
LAN standards. It is the communication mode that is easy  
to install on your existing wireless LAN.  
"802.11g exclusive" communicates using 802.11g only. It  
does not support the mixed standard mode of 802.11b/g,  
*1  
so it allows the use of original features of 802.11g.  
*1  
Even if "802.11g exclusive" is in use, the existence of other wireless devices using 2.4  
GHz bandwidth —including 802.11b wireless devices— may make the baud rate of  
802.11g slower.

2.8 Changing Authentication Setting and  
Administrator User Name and Password  
The Security: Administrator page allows you to change authentication,  
administrator user name and password. The authentication window is displayed,  
and allows the registered users to access the camera.  
Notes  
If you access the camera for the first time, the window to set administrator user  
name and password is displayed. Make a note of the user name and password  
so that you will not forget them.  
The user name and password should be secured at your own responsibility.  
Pay attention to the following points.  
Set the user name and password as many characters as possible.  
Change the password regularly.  
Setting [Permit access from guest users] (permitting access without a User  
Name or Password) at General Authentication risks the images being viewed  
by third parties. Control the contents of the images accordingly.  
IMPORTANT  
It is important to limit access to the camera by use of a unique User Name and  
a secret Password. Because the camera is accessed through the Internet it is  
possible that the camera could be accessed by unknown individuals, including  
those who are commonly known as "hackers," to whom you do not want to  
allow access. The use of a unique User Name and a Password known only to  
you will help insure that only authorized individuals are given access to the  
camera. You have the option of proceeding without a User Name and  
Password, but it is strongly recommended that you utilize these protections.  
1. Click [Administrator] on the Setup page.  
2. Set each parameter.  
Clicking [Cancel] cancels your settings without saving changes.

Description  
Sensor  
deactivation  
time  
Set the length of time during which the sensor cannot be  
triggered after saving images temporarily or transmitting  
them. This function is recommended to use not to send too  
many E-mails to a mobile phone.  
Note  
The internal memory cannot buffer images during Sensor  
deactivation time. Because of this, images taken before  
detection are not saved in internal memory, and so cannot  
be received. Depending on the settings for image buffer/  
transfer, even if it is set to, for example, take "1 image per  
second, and store 10 images, before detection", because  
the images are not stored in internal memory, if the sensor  
detects something directly after the end of Sensor  
deactivation time, the images may not be saved. Ten  
seconds after the end of Sensor deactivation time, images  
can be received as specified in the settings.
