Notes:
• Install after logging into your computer using an account with administrator rights.
• Install another media player to play recorded videos if the version of Client Tools is 5.7.3.2 or later.
• Install VideoLAN VLC media player 1.11~1.13, or Apple QuickTime 7 or later if the version of Client Tools is older
than 5.6.19.3. VLC media player 2.0.x may not work with some network cameras. Using VLC media player is recom-
mended if your network camera records MPEG-4 format.
• If VLC media player is installed, use the default installation location (C:\Program Files (x86)\VideoLAN\VLC in Win-
dows 7 64-bit or the Application folder in Mac OS).
• If surveillance cameras or client tools installed under C:\Program Files (x86)\BUFFALO\SurveillanceServer\Bin are
blocked due to the OS firewall, refer to the OS help for instructions about how to disable the firewall.
• Install Client Tools on one or more computers connected to the same network as the network camera(s) and the
TeraStation. Surveillance camera settings are shared for all cameras on the network.
Connecting Devices to the Network
Connect the following devices to the network.
•
A TeraStation that supports surveillance cameras
•
A compatible network camera
•
A computer with the above client tools installed
Notes:
• Connect all devices on the same network subnet.
• Set the TeraStation's and network camera's time settings to the correct time. By default, the TeraStation adjusts
its clock automatically by using a default NTP server. This NTP server belongs to Internet Multi Feed Inc. For more
information, visit www.jst.mfeed.ad.jp.
• To select a different NTP server, click Name/Time/Language from Management. Click Time, then Edit. Uncheck "Use
Default NTP Server" and enter a new NTP IP address. Click OK.
• If NTP is not used, disable it and enter the time and date manually. Click Use Local Date/Time to import the time
and date from your computer.
In certain cases, the DNS server address must be set in order to access the NTP server.
• Use the dedicated utility provided with the network camera or other program to confirm that the network cam-
era operates properly.
