NETWORK VIDEO CODEC

4. Operation

4.1 Viewing and Recording Video

You can view video from the camera using the Video Web page. This Web page
shows a picture of a TV and a TV/Video control. The TV/Video control lets you
switch channels between different cameras, and record and play back video, just 
as you would with your TV and home video recorder.

Using the Video Web page, you can:

• View live video

• Record live video

• Play back video

• Assign a specific TV channel to a camera

• Reset TV channels

IDEO

To view video from a camera, select the Video Web page. When the web page is
selected, it scans the network for Network Video Codecs. During this time, “S” is
shown on the LED display on the bottom right of the TV frame and “Scanning…”
is displayed on the browser’s status bar (if the status bar is visible). When scanning
is complete, the LED display changes to “OK” and the status bar to “Standby.”
Then simply use the TV/Video control to select the channel that the camera is
assigned to. The name and location of the currently selected channel are shown 
on the browser’s status bar.

To find out which channel a camera is assigned to, click on the “?” button. This

displays a list of camera entries for all the cameras currently on the network. For
each camera, a channel number is displayed.

To select a channel, click on the button that corresponds to the channel

number. If the channel number has two digits, first click on the double-digit

button, then select the channel, one digit at a time (the channel number is 

shown on the LED display on the TV as you type it).
