Important: Before Starting Operation

Please be sure to perform operational tests in the actual environment before starting operation.
Be aware of the following points prior to operation.
Video recording and live viewing may not be done as your settings, depending on the network environment
and the PC's performance.
Under a heavy load on the CPU or disk of the PC, the recording may not be done at the specified frame rate,
recording may be suspended temporarily, or you may receive slow responses to the viewer operation. Also,
when the amount of free disk space become low, recording may be suspended temporarily, because the
disk load increases due to deleting process of recorded video files.
Operation and performance of storage servers and viewers may be affected on PCs, where anti-virus
software or firewall software is running.
When using a proxy server, video recording may not be done at the specified frame rate, or live viewing may
become interrupted. Also, communication between a storage server and viewer may be interrupted. In those
cases, audio cannot be recorded.
