Phenomena Specific to
CCD Image Sensors
The following phenomena that may appear in images are
specific to CCD (Charge Coupled Device) image
sensors. They do not indicate malfunctions.
White flecks
Although the CCD image sensors are produced with
high-precision technologies, fine white flecks may be
generated on the screen in rare cases, caused by cosmic
rays, etc.
This is related to the principle of CCD image sensors
and is not a malfunction.
The white flecks especially tend to be seen in the
following cases:
• when operating at a high environmental temperature
• when you have raised the gain (sensitivity)
• when using the slow shutter
Vertical smear
When an extremely bright object, such as a strong
spotlight or flashlight, is being shot, vertical tails may be
produced on the screen, or the image may be distorted.
Aliasing
When fine patterns, stripes, or lines are shot, they may
appear jagged or flicker.
Monitor screen Vertical thin tails shown on
the image
Bright object (e.g. strong
spotlight, strong reflected
light, flashlight, the sun)

Preparation
Assigning the IP Address to the Camera
8
Assigning the IP
Address to the Camera
To connect the camera to a network, you need to assign
a new IP address to the camera when installing the
camera for the first time.
You can assign an IP address in two ways:
• Using the setup program stored in the supplied CD-
ROM (see page 8)
• Using the ARP (Address Resolution Protocol)
commands (see page 69)
This section explains how to assign an IP address to the
camera using the supplied setup program and how to
configure the network.
Before starting, connect the camera, referring to
“Connecting to a Computer or a Network” on page 7.
Consult the administrator of the network about the
assigned IP address.
Notes
• The IP Setup Program may not operate correctly if you
use a personal firewall or antivirus software in your
computer. In that case, disable the software or assign
an IP address to the camera using another method. For
example, see “Assigning the IP Address to the Camera
Using ARP Commands” on page 69.
• If you are using Windows XP Service Pack 2 or
Windows Vista, disable the Windows Firewall
function. Otherwise the IP Setup Program will not
operate correctly. For the setting, see “Configuring
Windows Firewall” in “When using Windows XP
Service Pack 2” on page 11 or “Configuring Windows
Firewall” in “When using Windows Vista” on
page 13.
Assigning an IP address using the
IP Setup Program
1 Insert the CD-ROM in your CD-ROM drive.
A cover page appears automatically in your Web
browser.
If it does not appear automatically in the Web
browser, double-click on the index.htm file on the
CD-ROM.
When you are using Windows Vista, pop-up
“AutoPlay” may appear. For details, “Installing
software” in “When using Windows Vista” on
page 12.

Pack 2” on page 10 or “Installing software” in
“When using Windows Vista” on page 12.
3 Click Open.
Note
If you click “Save this program to disk” on the “File
Download” dialog, you will not be able to perform
set up correctly. Delete the downloaded file, and
click the Setup icon again.
4 Install the IP Setup Program on your computer
using the wizard.
If the Software License Agreement is displayed,
read it carefully and click Accept to continue with
the installation.
5 Start the IP Setup Program.
When you are using Windows Vista, message “User
Account Control – An unidentified program wants
access to your computer” may appear. In this case,
click Allow.
The program detects the network cameras
connected to the local network and lists them on the
Network tab window.

Select Tools from the menu bar of Internet Explorer,
then select Internet Options and click the Advanced
mode tab. Check whether the version of Java displayed
for Java (Sun) is one of the versions specified above. If
Java (Sun) is not displayed, it means that Java is not
installed. You need to install Java.

Check “Use JRE 1.6.0_01 for <applet> (requires
restart)” in “Java (Sun)”.
To install Java Plug-in
Download Java 2 Runtime Environment, Standard

Inc., and install it by following the instructions on the
installer.
