Starting Camera Control - Canon C50Fi - VB Network Camera User Manual

Starting Camera Control

Although multiple clients can simultaneously connect to the camera server, multiple clients
cannot simultaneously control the camera. Consequently, "control privileges" has been
introduced by which only the client who currently holds the control privileges can control the
camera. Backlight adjustment and presets can also only be used when you have control
privileges.
Click the [Start Control] button to acquire control privileges.
