About the special privileges of administrators
Since Admin Viewer has more special privileges than the Viewer for PC and Viewer
Note
for Java, please keep in mind the following points when using Admin Viewer:
• Since connection time is unlimited, please exit the viewer after viewing.
• When camera control privileges have been obtained, Admin Viewer forcibly continues
to obtain these privileges. After viewing, be sure to exit the viewer or click the Control
button again to release these privileges.
• When making settings, keep in mind that images outside the view restrictions are
displayed also in the Viewer for PC and Viewer for Java that are connected
simultaneously with Admin Viewer.
• When sending/receiving audio*, please read carefully "Usage Notice of Audio" (→ P.iii).

Only available with two particular models (→ P.iii)

PC, basic camera control and the like are omitted here. This chapter describes only
