Page 149: Chapter 4 Creating Web Pages For Video Distribution
Creating Web Pages for Video Distribution This chapter explains how to distribute image using the VB-C60. You can distribute image in various ways, such as displaying video or still images or showing multiple images on a Web page.
Page 150: Web Pages For Image Distribution
Web Pages for Image Distribution You must create a dedicated Web page to distribute information from the camera you have installed. "VB-C60 Viewer" can be used as the camera's viewer, where you can set detailed parameters. HTTP (WWW) server VB-C60 If a link corresponding to the image request is selected in (1), the Web server will send a file containing the IP address information of the camera from the server in (2).
Page 151 Web Pages for Image Distribution Note The VB-C60 has a built-in Web server. Write desired content for the Web page for video distribution in the flash memory in the camera beforehand, and you can publish the Web page and distribute image over the Web using the camera alone. For information on how to save Web page data, see "How to Create a Web Page Using VB Viewer"...

If the Web page data grows too big, it may no longer be possible to change the camera settings. When saving Web page data to the flash memory in the camera, make sure the total data size does not exceed 3 Mbytes. If Web page data is saved to the flash memory in the camera, be sure to check the event logs after changing any settings to confirm that an error was not generated while saving the new settings (S306, S307).

Page 159: Distributing Video Using A Browser Only
Distributing Video Using a Browser Only You can provide video from the VB-C60 directly to a browser using the WebView-HTTP protocol. Examples are explained below. Displaying Live Video at the Time of Access as a Still Image You can provide as a still image the video captured by the camera the moment the client accesses your Web page.
Page 160: Example Of Image Distribution Using One Global Address
Example of Image Distribution Using One Global Address To publish live video from the camera over the Internet, you need one fixed global address. Some providers offer access services where one fixed global address is assigned. You can use this global address. In this case, you need a router with NAT function. Example: Assume that your provider assigned the global address 192.168.1.10.
Page 161: Distributing Still Images To Mobile Phones
Distributing Still Images to Mobile Phones You can use a Web service for mobile phones to view still images and control the camera. You can easily create a still image distribution page for mobile phones in HTML using WebView-HTTP protocol image.cgi commands. The VB-C60 stores a sample page for distributing still images to mobile phones, and you can view the sample page as follows.
