䢇 If a high luminance object (such as a lamp) is shot, a white smear may appear at the upper and lower ends of this object on the screen.
This phenomenon (smear) is characteristic of solid-state image sensors, and is not a malfunction.
䢇 Some hubs/switches of products that are equipped with intelligent features may include a broadcast/multicast suppression function. Viewing of multicast images on this product may fail if this function is enabled.
䢇 Electricity can be supplied to this product either by connecting the AC 24 V power supply or using the PoE. Make sure to select only one mode of electrical supply.
Connecting the power cord and the LAN cable for the PoE at the same time may result in failure or malfunction of the camera.
䢇 This product comes with a built-in AGC circuit. When using this product with AGC set to AMidB, AHighB or ASuperB, the sensitivity level increases when the image is dark, and the screen may appear grainy as a result.
However, this is not a malfunction.
䢇 When using this product with the white balance set to AATWB, the displayed color may differ slightly from the actual color according to the condition of the object due to the principle of the automatic tracking white balance circuit. This is not a malfunction.
䢇 The electronic shutter of this product is set to
A1/30B by default. For regions with a commercial power supply frequency of 50 Hz, switch to the flickerless mode during use under fluorescent lights (excluding inverter lighting equipment) to prevent flickers.
䢇 When the Black-and-white mode (VN-V26U) or Easy Day and Night mode (VN-V25U) is enabled, the image becomes black-and-white in a dark place. As the sensitivity level is increased in this case, the screen may appear grainy and more white spots may appear. When switching between color and black-and-white images, the brighter area on the screen is emphasized, which may reduce the visibility. However, this is not a malfunction.
䢇 If the power supply voltage is momentarily cut off or reduced due to lightning, turning on of the air conditioner’s power, etc., the image may be disrupted or noise interference may occur.
䢇 When using multicast, make use of a
IGMPv2-compliant network switch.
䢇 In the case of VN-V26U, the image and sound may not synchronize when playing back using built-in viewer. This is not a malfunction.
䢇 When VN-V26U is sending high bitrate, the image and sound can be paused during
Black-and-white mode changing. This is not a malfunction.

Network Requirements
● Ensure that there is sufficient network bandwidth for the data volume to be sent out by VN-V25U/26U. Do not send multicast stream that exceeds the bandwidth. If the entire bandwidth is used by the multicast stream, control of this camera via the network may fail.
● Data volume to be sent by VN-V25U/26U varies with the settings and number of distributions.
● The maximum bit rate for transmission is about 20 Mbps.
Estimation of Total Bit Rate
The total JPEG bit rate from VN-V25U/26U is determined by the VN-V25U/26U settings, number of clients, and the client’s requested number of frames. The total MPEG4 bit rate from VN-V25U/26U is determined by the number of distributions. Develop a design upon taking the above into consideration.
Bit Rate of JPEG Stream
The JPEG file size per frame varies with the encoding settings as well as input video signals.
The following table may be used as a reference.
When VFS is selected, the quantization table during JPEG encoding will be maintained, and the file size will increase/decrease according to the input signals. When AFS is selected, encoding will be performed such that the target file size is the average size of multiple JPEG images.

The maximum number of distributions varies with the bit rate settings as well as the client’s requested frame rate. Up to 20 streams can be distributed (including multicast). The total frame rate refers to the sum of these frame rates.
24
For example, when 10 fps is requested by two clients, and in addition, multicast is transmitted at a rate of 10 fps, the total frame rate will be:
10 + 10 + 10 = 30 fps
If the JPEG file size per frame is 30 KB, then the total bit rate will be:
30 KB x 30 fps = 900 KB/s = Approx. 7.2 Mbps
Bit Rate of MPEG4 Stream
You can select either the Variable Bit Rate
(VBR) or Constant Bit Rate (CBR) system for
MPEG4 stream.
When the VBR system is selected, the bit rate varies according to the condition of the input video signals. The VBR system delivers a stable picture quality, but forecast of the bit rate is difficult.
When the CBR system is selected, encoding is performed at a fixed bit rate regardless of the condition of the input video signals. The picture quality varies under the CBR system, but the bit rate can be easily forecast.
You can specify an estimated bit rate for both
VBR and CBR. (64 kbps - 8000 kbps)
Bit Rate of Audio (VN-V26U only)
Up to 2 audio data streams can be sent by VN-
V26U.
Only 1 audio data stream can be recieved. Data volume for 1 audio stream is 64 kbps. Audio data volume may be calculated using the following formula.
64 kbps x no. of streams
The number of streams is the total number of streams sent via TCP (number of clients), streams sent via multicast, and stream received by
VN-V26U.
(Example)
When VN-V26U sends out 2 audio streams and receives 1 audio stream, data volume will be as follows.
64 kbps x 3 = 192 kbps
VN-V25U_26U_EN.book Page 25 Friday, January 18, 2008 2:56 PM
Restrictions on the Number of
Distributions for VN-V25U/26U
The maximum number of distributions for
VN-V25U/26U is determined by the settings as well as requirements from the client.
When only JPEG images are distributed, the maximum number of distributions is determined based on the highest bit rate within the stream.
When a distribution request that exceeds the maximum number of distributions is received, this request is denied. For example, if Client A requests for and receives data at 1 Mbps, while
Client B requests for and receives data at
5 Mbps, the maximum number of distributions is
4 streams according to the table below.

Insufficient network bandwidth
When there is insufficient bandwidth, the number of JPEG frames (frame rate) that the client can acquire will decrease. Delay will also occur in the distribution of images. In the case of
MPEG4, noise interference may occur and playback may fail.
There may be a longer delay or interruption in the audio.
Network Delay
When the client acquires JPEG via TCP,
VN-V25U/26U will send out data while checking the ACK from the client at the same time. For networks with considerable delay, data cannot be sent out until ACK is received, and therefore the frame rate will drop. In the case of MPEG4, noise interference may occur and playback may fail.
Audio may be interrupted.
Decrease in the frame rate due to network delays can be eliminated by receiving data via multicast.
Network Jitter
When there is considerable network jitter, delay time may be prolonged and the image frame rate may drop. In the case of MPEG4, noise interference may occur and playback may fail.
Audio may be interrupted.
Packet Loss
When acquiring images from VN-V25U/26U via
TCP, packet loss may be recovered by TCP transmission. When there is considerable delay in the network, however, missing data may occur and the image frame rate may drop. In the case of MPEG4, noise interference may occur and playback may fail.
Audio may be interrupted.
When packet loss occurs during multicast sending from VN-V25U/26U, the image frame rate may drop. In the case of MPEG4, noise interference may occur and playback may fail.
Audio may be interrupted.

26U
䡵 (A) Assigning an IP address from the
DHCP server
● VN-V25U/26U is set to ADHCP EnableB (the
DHCP client feature is on) by default. To assign an IP address from the DHCP server, connect VN-V25U/26U to LAN with DHCP server, and turn on VN-V25U/26U. Allowing the DHCP server to assign the same IP address to VN-V25U/26U every time eases access to VN-V25U/26U.
● For details on IP addresses assigned to
VN-V25U/26U, consult your network administrator.
You can look up the IP address of VN-V25U/
26U using the search tool in the supplied
CD-ROM.
For details, please refer to AReadmeB file in the CD-ROM.
Caution:
● Set the DHCP server such that the same IP address is always assigned to the MAC address of VN-V25U/26U by the DHCP server. Connection may fail if the above setting is not performed.
䡵 (B) Assigning a static IP address
䢇 System configuration required for setting
IP address
The default setting for VN-V25U/26U is ADHCP
Enable B (DHCP client feature is turned on).
Upon starting up in LAN without DHCP server,
VN-V25U/26U starts running with the following
IP address after time out of DHCP.
IP address
Subnet mask
: 192.168.0.2
: 255.255.255.0
Default gateway : Nil
Note:
● To set a static IP address for VN-V25U/26U, connect VN-V25U/26U, the switching hub and the computer for setting using a straight
LAN cable of Category 5 and above.
䢇 Set up the computer for setting the IP address.
● Minimum computer specifications for setting
OS : Windows XP (Professional or
Home Edition) (SP2)
Web browser : Internet Explorer
Version 6.0
Caution:
● When setting the IP address for VN-V25U/
26U, do so by using a network that is made up only of VN-V25U/26U, the computer for setting and the switching hub.
● Using a hub connected to other network devices or networks via a LAN cable for setting can cause problems.

settings on the Basic page. ( A Page 61)
Note:
What is FQDN (Fully Qualified Domain Name)?
This is a fully qualified domain name that indicates a notation method of describing the entire host or domain name on the TCP/IP network without abbreviating.
For example, if the host name is www and the domain name is victor.co.jp, this will be denoted as “www.victor.co.jp” in FQDN.
For setting the FTP environment when [FTP] is specified as an action on the
Alarm page. This is common with the FTP environment when using the periodic FTP on this page.
When [Directory] is left blank, FTP transfer will be performed to the home directory of the FTP server. To enable FTP transfer to a directory below the home directory, set the corresponding directory name in [Directory].
Delimit the directory using “/”.
Example: subdir1/subdir2
Destination directory of FTP transfer will be dependent on the FTP server if
“/” is added at the beginning.
Setting [Periodic FTP] to AOnB enables transfer of the latest JPEG images to the FTP server at regular intervals. Specify the interval in seconds for
[Periodic FTP Interval].
File name: Select a type from the two types of periodic FTP file names.
When AAutoB is selected, images are generated from the year, month, day, hour, minute, second, and number.
Example: 20071114161032-001-2.jpg
When AManualB is selected, you can select a file name generation method from the following.
● File name containing only the character string entered in [User-definedname]
Example: Camera1.jpg
● File name with the year, month, day, hour, minute, and second added to
[User-defined-name]
Example: Camera1_20071114161032001.jpg
The name of the file to be transmitted via FTP is made up of the action number, year, month, day, hour, minute, second, number and trigger flag.
Example: 01-20070711152904-001-0.jpg
The first two digits are the action number, and the following 14 digits denote the year, month, day, hour, minute and second.
The three digits after the first hyphen is the number of the series of JPEG files to be sent via the FTP. The number starts from “000”. The last digit denotes the trigger flag. This is displayed as “1” only for the JPEG file during a trigger input, and as “0” if otherwise.

Symptom
IP address of VN-V25U/26U is unknown
The web page of VN-V25U/
26U cannot be displayed
The built-in viewer cannot be installed
Authentication by Verisign appears during installation of the built-in viewer
TCP images cannot be played back
Causes and Countermeasures
● DHCP is AEnableB in default settings. IP address will be provided from DHCP server.
● If there is no DHCP server, VN-V25U/26U will start using default IP address, 192.168.0.2, and default subnet mask, 255.255.255.0.
● Search tool in attached CD-ROM is available to find VN-V25U/26U from a PC in the same LAN.
Check the Internet Explorer settings.
When a proxy server is in use, configure the proxy server settings of the Internet Explorer accordingly.
Check the Internet Explorer settings.
The built-in viewer consists of a software component called ActiveX.
The ActiveX is usually installed when the built-in viewer is used for the first time. However, installation may be rejected depending on the Anti-virus software settings. In this case, change the settings of the Anti-virus software before installing the built-in viewer.
Verisign’s electronic signature is stored in the builtin viewer.
For computers with a network environment that is connected to the Internet, the authenticity of the viewer can be verified via authentication by
Verisign.
The built-in viewer consists of a software component called ActiveX.
The ActiveX is usually installed when the built-in viewer is used for the first time. However, installation may be rejected depending on the Anti-virus software settings. In this case, change the settings of the Anti-virus software before installing the built-in viewer.
The maximum number of images that can be sent by
VN-V25U/26U via TCP is 20, and up to 20 built-in viewers can be connected to each VN-V25U/26U unit.
Make use of multicast for monitoring when the number of areas exceeds the above number.
