Camera the Operating
The available functions for the camera operation modes vary according to the viewer display. The available functions are as follows:
Notes
???Pan/Tilt limitation
The solid PTZ function controls streaming by cropping or reducing a maximum size image.
Thus, the more the camera zooms out, the less area to be panned or tilted, and becomes unavailable at the WIDE setting.
???Zoom limitation
The solid PTZ function enables you to display an area of 1/16 the maximum image size (Aspect ratio: 1:4), when zoomed in at the TELE setting.
An image cannot be enlarged beyond this.
And the whole area shot in the maximum image size will be displayed if the camera is zoomed out at the WIDE setting.
The solid PTZ function???s zoom is performed digitally; therefore, some deterioration in image quality may be observed at the TELE setting.

Assigning the IP Address to the Camera Using ARP Commands
This section explains how to assign an IP address to the camera using ARP (Address Resolution Protocol) commands without using the SNC toolbox.
Note
When you turn on the camera, execute the ARP and PING commands within 5 minutes. Also when you restart the camera, execute the operation within
5 minutes.
1 Open the command prompt on the computer. When using Windows Vista, right click Command prompt in
2 Enter the IP address and the MAC address of the camera to assign a new IP address, using the following ARP commands.
arp
Example:
arp
3 When the following line is displayed on the command prompt, hold down Ctrl and press C. Display stops.
Reply from 192.168.0.100:bytes=32 time...
You will normally receive a reply after about 5 repetitions of ???Request time out???.
4 Wait until the execution of PING finishes, then input the following code.
arp
Note
If you do not receive a reply, check the following:
???Did you enter the ARP commands within 5 minutes after it was turned on?
If not, turn off the camera and restart the operation.
???Is a NETWORK indicator turned on?
If the indicator goes off, the network connection has a problem. Connect the network correctly.
???Did you enter the IP address previously used for another device?
Assign a new IP address to the camera.
???Do the computer and the camera have the same network address?
If not, set the same network address on the computer and the camera.

5)community=<ID>,r,
<communityName>,<IpAddressString>
Set the community attributes. <ID> describes the setting identification number (1 to 8) <communityName> describes the community name to be set, and <IpAddressString> describes the IP address of the host you allow access (0.0.0.0 for any host).
Example: To allow reading by any host in the ???private??? community and having the ID number ???2???. community=2,r,private,0.0.0.0
6)trap=<ID>,<communityName>,
<IpAddressString>
Set the attributes to send traps to. <ID> describes the setting identification number (1 to 8), <communityName> describes the community name to send traps to, and <IpAddressString> describes the IP address of the host to send traps to. Example: To specify the destination of traps as the
public community and the ID number ???1???. trap=1,public,192.168.0.101
7)delcommunity=<ID>
This parameter is used to delete the previous community setting. <ID> describes the community setting identification number (1 to 8).
8)deltrap=<ID>
This parameter is used to delete the previous setting of the host to send traps to. <ID> describes the trap setting identification number (1 to 8).
When you have finished changing the SNMP setting information using the above parameters 1) to 8), check the changed settings using an inquiry command. If the changed settings are OK, restart the SNMP using the following CGI command.
