Page 15: Chapter 1 Before Using The Vb150
Chapter Before Using the VB150 This chapter contains information that you should read before using the VB150. It also describes the features of the VB150, the system overview, the operating environment, and the name and functions of the system components.
Page 16: Features Of The Vb150
Features of the VB150 The VB150 is a system that distributes live video via the Internet or an intranet. It can be used in a wide variety of applications such as distributing live video from a Web site or monitoring.
Page 17 The VB150 has a built-in Web server. If Web page data is written onto a flash memory card (sold separately), the VB150 will be able to distribute Web pages and videos over the Web. Since the VB150 also has a built-in FTP server, Web page data can be sent from a remote location as a file (FTP).

Page 25: Chapter 2 Setting Up The Vb150
Chapter Setting Up the VB150 This chapter describes how to connect up the equipment in the system, how to specify the basic system settings and how to check that the camera image is displayed correctly.
Page 26: Setup Workflow
The procedure for setting up the VB150 and checking the video image begins with connecting the camera to the VB150, connecting the VB150 to the PC via a hub and specifying the various settings. The next step is to check that video from the camera can be displayed and that the camera can be controlled.
Page 27: Checking Operation
Checking operation Access the VB150 from a Web browser. Display the video from the top page of the camera server and check that video is displayed properly (→ P.31).
Page 28: Connecting The Camera
In this description, we begin by connecting 2 cameras to the VB150. The RS-232C cables are connected to the CC1 and CC2 port on the VB150 and the video cables are connected to V1 and V2. In this way, one camera is connected to CC1-V1 and the other to CC2-V2.
Page 29: Initializing The Vb150
Precautions for Turning the VB150 On and Off The VB150 has no power switch. To turn the VB150 off and on, unplug the AC adapter. When you unplug the AC adapter from the wall outlet, wait at least 5 seconds and then plug the AC adapter into the wall outlet.
