Overview WebView Livescope MV Ver. 2.1 LE (hereafter referred to as MV LE) is software that allows you to use an Intranet or the Internet to monitor video distributed from the Network Camera Server VB150/VB101 or the Network Camera VB-C10/VB-C10R (hereafter referred to as “camera server”). Since MV LE uses the wizard format for registering camera servers, there is no need to learn complex operations.
System Configuration MV LE connects to camera servers using TCP/IP protocol. Connections can be made via the Internet or an Intranet. Example of System Configuration L A N Distributes video and picture data VC-C4 VC-C4R VB101 ISDN Line Router Monitoring VB-C10 MV LE Monitoring via ISDN line...
However, if the VB101 is being used, check to be sure that the firmware version is 3.0 or later. The firmware is available for free at the following. URL:http://www.canon.com/webview/ Check to be sure the camera server has been correctly installed and that the initial settings (network settings) have been made.
Installation When you load the WebView Livescope MV LE installer CD-ROM, the installer automatically starts and the installation process begins. If it does not start, in Explorer, double-click “Setup.exe” on the CD-ROM and click Next to proceed with the installation. Enter the Serial number and click Next.
Registering the Cameras Cameras must be registered in order to monitor images from them with MV LE. There are two ways to register a camera: Using “Register Camera” in which the network address of a camera server is entered manually, and “Search Camera” in which camera servers connected to the network are automatically searched and detected cameras are registered.
Make sure that the camera you just registered appears in the Registered cameras list. To register more than one camera from a different camera server, repeat the procedure from step 1 . When you click OK, images from the registered camera can be viewed.

Display can be switched by clicking on the 4 Viewers, 1 Viewer (Large), and the 1 Viewer (Normal) buttons on the toolbar. Choose the method that best suits your needs.
Switching Cameras being Viewed During 1 Viewer display, if more than one camera has been registered, the camera displayed in the viewer can be switched. To switch cameras, click [2] in the Camera Switch box to select the camera from the list. The order of the cameras shown in the list is the order in which the cameras were registered.
