Functions
Viewer for Java
• Videos from the VB-C50Fi can be displayed by a Web browser that can run Java
applet.
To use the Viewer for Java, you need to install Java VM beforehand.
• Because the Viewer for Java is automatically downloaded and does not need to be
pre-installed, unlike the Viewer for PC, it is compatible with any platform that supports
Java-capable environments.
• Because it uses the HTTP protocol, the Viewer for Java penetrates firewalls.
However, it may not run stably on some platforms or browser types.
Also, because the Viewer is downloaded when the Web page loads, start-up times and
execution speeds are slower than the Viewer for PC.

browser.
