  • A port of the unit may be being filtered by, for example, the firewall function of the antivirus software.
    Change the HTTP port number of the unit to a port number that is not filtered.

H.264 images are not displayed

  • If the “Network Camera View 4S” plug-in viewer software is deleted in an environment where the “Network Camera View 3” plug-in viewer software is installed, display of H.264 images will become impossible. In such cases, delete “Network Camera View 3” before installing “Network Camera View 4S”.
  • Is the camera connected to the personal computer via the Internet?
    Set [Internet Mode(over HTTP)] to [On].

The images are distorted

  • The images may be distorted if the transmission path is congested and proper transmission is not possible.
    Consult your network administrator.
  • The images may be distorted if video packet shuffling occurs on the transmission path.
    Switching to an identical Internet service provider for both the camera and the personal computer may prevent this problem. Consult your network administrator.

When multiple web browsers are running to display H.264 images, images from multiple cameras appear sequentially in a single web browser.

  • This may occur depending on the combination of the personal computer's display adapter and the driver. (Windows)
    If this occurs, update the first display adapter to the latest version. If this does not resolve the problem, adjust the hardware accelerator function as follows.
