user is used that is dierent from the administrator user

driver user needs to be created in advance.
1. Create a camera driver user.
Create a camera driver user on the camera setting web
page.
For setting details, refer to "Setting the Camera Driver
User" in the camera's instruction manual.
If you have already created the camera driver user,

[JVC CAM driver setup] shortcut on the desktop.
