"STARTING PROTOCOL" SETTING


You can specify a range of settings governing the operation of the Viewer for PC via the "Setup Properties" window (In typical use, there is no need to alter these settings).

To specify whether a connection to the camera server is to be made using the WebView-TCP protocol or the WebView-HTTP protocol:
  1. Select "Setup Properties" from the "View" menu.
  2. Select "Protocol for starting with WVH file" in "Starting protocol" tab.

Auto select connection

Use this setting when you do not know the details of the connection environment. When this option is selected, the viewer first tries to connect using WebView-TCP and then tries WebView-HTTP.
WV-TCP protocol connection
This setting uses the WebView-TCP protocol. To penetrate firewalls with this protocol, a dedicated application gateway is required.
WV-HTTP protocol connection
This setting uses the WebView-HTTP protocol, which conforms to the HTTP standard. The HTTP proxy does not need a dedicated application gateway to penetrate firewalls.

"DISPLAY OPTION" SETTING


Use this setting to specify the size of the video displayed at startup. Note that the opening screen shown at startup is displayed at an image size of 320x240.
  1. Select "Setup properties" from the "View" menu and then select "Display option".
  2. Select "Set video display size used at startup".

Adjust to default image size

When you connect to the server, the viewer starts up with the image size matched to the image size initially sent by the webcam.
Use display size in list below
Allows you to select any of 4 sizes: 640x480, 320x240, 160x120 or 80x60.

"HTTP PROTOCOL" SETTING


Specify these settings when connections are established using the WebView-HTTP protocol:
  1. Select "Setup properties" from the "View" menu and select the "HTTP protocol" tab.
  2. Ticking the "Use WV-HTTP proxy" check box allows you to penetrate firewalls by using an HTTP proxy.
  3. Specify the host name and port number of the camera server. If you have ticked the "Use WV-HTTP proxy" option, ticking the "Do not use the proxy for local hosts" check box allows you to connect to local addresses without using the proxy.
  4. The "Set hosts not using proxy" option allows you to access servers that do not require proxies without using the proxy. Enter the domain name or IP address of the host that dose not use proxies. To specify multiple hosts, use a comma to separate the specifications.
    (Example)

192.168.100.*

Hosts with IP address that begins with "192.168.100." do not use the proxy.
*.webview.co.jp
Hosts on the network with the "webview.co.jp" domain name do not use the proxy.

PERFORMANCE SETTING


You can use the WV-TCP protocol high-speed TCP mode to achieve faster video frame rates. *The effects of the "performance" setting may not be reflected when connected to certain camera servers.
  1. Select Setup Properties from the View menu and then select the Performance tab.
  2. Select "WV-TCP protocol option".

Camera Control

Uses the normal WV-TCP protocol.
Video rate
Uses the WV-TCP high-speed protocol. The level of improvement depends on the circumstances, but the frame rate in this mode is generally 10% to 40% faster than when the "Camera control" option is selected. However, camera control responses may be slower.
