Web Menu Settings

Displaying the Web Menu

You set up and control the unit by connecting to a computer
via the network and displaying the web menu in a web
browser on the computer.
Validated operating environments
Web browser:
• Windows: Microsoft Internet Explorer 11, Google Chrome
62, Firefox 57, Opera 49, Safari 5
• Mac OS: Safari 6
Display: Screen width of 1024 pixels or greater
Connect a computer that satisfies the above requirements to
NETWORK connector 1 or 2 on the rear panel of the unit.
Enter "http://(device_IP_address)/" in the address bar of a
web browser on the computer to display the web menu. When
prompted to provide a user name, enter "usr1" and click the
[Log on] button. The following IP addresses are configured at
the factory for the NETWORK connectors of the unit.
• NETWORK 1 connector: 192.168.0.1
• NETWORK 2 connector: 192.168.0.2
If the IP addresses are changed, specify the new addresses.
The IP address to connect to can be specified on the
[System] screen > [Network] tab of the web menu.
Notes
• For details about network settings, contact your network
administrator.
• You may be unable to connect to the network, depending
on your proxy server settings.
• It may not be possible to set the appropriate setting due to
conflicts if the computer is using a multi-session
connection. If this occurs, reconfigure the settings.
• The web menu cannot be displayed on a computer
connected to the NETWORK 3 connector. To display the
web menu, always connect the computer to NETWORK
connector 1 or 2.
Do not browse any other website in the Web browser while
making settings or after making settings. Since the login
status remains in the Web browser, close the Web browser
when you complete the settings to prevent unauthorized third
parties from using the unit or harmful programs from running.

Configuring the Network

to configure settings related to the IP address and network.

[OK] to restart the unit. The settings are enabled after the unit
restarts.
To display the web menu subsequently, enter the IP address
you specified.
Accessing over a network
When accessing files using a network cable, you can also
transfer files while recording or playback is in progress.
However, since camera signal recording and replay output
have priority, the transfer rate over the network may decrease
depending on input/output port usage.
