1.1 Overview of Camera Recording Package
The Camera recording package is a solution to realize a recording system by using dedicated FBs for a network camera
connected with an Ethernet port. This product provides the FB library for operating the system mentioned earlier and the
setting procedure of the network camera.
Video files that are generated with this product can be checked using GX VideoViewer. For GX VideoViewer,
refer to the following.
GX VideoViewer Version 1 Operating Manual
(1) A recording trigger is turned on from the programmable controller to the network camera.
(2) The network camera saves a video file into a network storage.

This section describes the system configuration in which the Camera recording package is used.
• The IP address needs to be set for the programmable controller, network camera, and network storage. Set
all the IP addresses into the same segment.
• When multiple network cameras are connected simultaneously, connect multiple external storages. A single
external storage may be insufficient for saving video files.
• Up to 16 network cameras can be used at the same time.
