1.1 Monitor images on a PC
The following are descriptions of how to monitor images from the camera on a PC.
1.1.1 Monitor images from a single camera
1. Start up the web browser.
2. Enter the IP address designated using the “IP Setting Software” in the address box of the browser.
•Example when entering an IPv4 address: http://URL registered using IPv4 address
http://192.168.0.10/
•Example when entering an IPv6 address: http://[URL registered using IPv6 address]
http://[2001:db8::10]/
<Example of IPv4 access>
<Example of IPv6 access>
IMPORTANT
•When the HTTP port number is changed from “80”, enter “http://IP address of the camera + : (colon)
+ port number” in the address box of the browser. (Example: http://192.168.0.11:8080)
•When the PC is in a local network, configure the proxy server setting of the web browser (under
[Internet Options...] under [Tools] of the menu bar) to bypass the proxy server for the local address.
Note
•Refer to page 143 and page 143 for further information about the case in which “HTTPS” is
selected for “HTTPS” - “Connection” on the [Advanced] tab of the “Network” page (®page 119).

IMPORTANT
•It is recommended to change the password periodically.
•When displaying multiple H.265 images on a PC, images may not be displayed depending on the
performance of the PC.
Note
•The maximum number of concurrent access user is 14 including users who is receiving H.265 images
and users who are receiving JPEG images. Depending on the set values for “Bandwidth control(bit
rate)” and “Max bit rate (per client)*”, the maximum concurrent access number may be 14 or less users.
When 14 users are concurrently accessing, the access limit message will be displayed for users who
subsequently attempt to access. When “Multicast” is selected for “Transmission type” of “Stream”, only
the first user who accessed to monitor H.265 images will be included in the maximum number. The
second and subsequent users who are monitoring H.265 images will not be included in the maximum
number.
•When performing a recording of a stream with a high bit rate on the SD memory card, there may be
cases where live image of the same stream cannot be displayed.
When it is necessary to display the live images of the stream, improve by performing either of the
following.
–Lower the bit rate of the stream being recorded on the SD memory card.
–Monitor live images of other stream or JPEG live images.
•The maximum refresh interval of JPEG(1) will be as follows.
–When 30 fps is set for [Image capture mode], the maximum refresh interval will be 10 fps.
–When 25 fps is set for [Image capture mode], the maximum refresh interval will be 8.3 fps.
•If you set the “Stream transmission” (®page 66) to “On”, an H.265 image will be displayed. If you
set the “Stream transmission” (®page 66) to “Off”, a JPEG image will be displayed. A JPEG image
can be displayed even if the “Stream transmission” is set to “On”, but in that case, the refresh interval
of the JPEG image will be restricted as follows.
Even when “Off” is set for “Stream transmission”, the maximum refresh interval of JPEG(1) will be 10
fps in the 30 fps mode and 8.3 fps in the 25 fps mode.
Image capture mode Stream transmission
On Off
16:9 (30fps mode) max. 3 fps max. 30 fps
4:3 (30fps mode) max. 3 fps max. 30 fps
16:9 (25fps mode) max. 3.1 fps max. 25 fps
4:3 (25fps mode) max. 3.1 fps max. 25 fps

Note
•Since the blinking of the alarm occurrence indication button is not coupled to recording images to
the SD memory card, forwarding E-mails, or other operations, check the settings of each operation
separately.
Full screen button
Images will be displayed on a full screen. If the full screen button is clicked once when the image displayed
in the main area is smaller than the main area, the image is displayed corresponding to its image capture
size. If the full screen button is clicked once when images are displayed corresponding to their image
capture sizes, images are displayed in full screen. To return to the “Live” page when displaying an image
in full screen, press the [Esc] key.
Snap shot button
Click this button to take a picture (a still picture). The picture will be displayed on a newly opened window.
When right-clicking on the displayed image, the pop-up menu will be displayed. It is possible to save the

[Sites]. Register the camera address on [Website] of the displayed trusted windows. After
registration, close the web browser, and then access the camera again.
•When it takes longer than the specified period to obtain the snap shot picture due to the network
environment, the snap shot picture may not be displayed.
•If the image capture size specified for JPEG cannot be obtained, JPEG images are displayed with
the image capture size that could be obtained.
Therefore, when JPEG images obtained with snap shot are displayed on a PC, the displayed image
size may differ from the captured sized.
SD recording status indicator
The status of the SD recording can be checked with this indicator.
When the SD recording starts, the SD recording status indicator will light red. It will go off when the SD
recording stops.
This indicator will be displayed when “Manual” or “Schedule” is selected for “Save trigger” on the setup
menu. (®page 57)
