INTRODUCTION
This product is a local area network (LAN)
connection kit for linking a Sanyo digital recording
camera to a computer network. It includes a
hardware adapter and a C -ROM with both
updating software for the camera and an
application program for the computer.
By updating the camera firmware and establishing
the network, your existing computer will have extra
capabilities for backup recording, displaying a live
action window on your monitor and for remotely
controlling the camera’s recording functions.
Because the system uses the FAT 32 file system
data storage structure, data from the camera’s hard
disk can be read like a removable disk when linked
to the computer with a USB connection. Hard disk
capacity can be up to 137GB.
For instruction on controlling the camera from a
remote computer, see the manual titled igital
Recording Camera Utility Software 1.6.
