Viewer Software Function
Java viewer
Helper viewer
■ Viewer Software Types and Functions
The Java viewer allows images from the Camera Server to be viewed on a web browser that
is capable of running Java applets.
Because the Java viewer is downloaded automatically, it does not need to be installed
beforehand like the helper viewer, and it is compatible with any platform capable of running
Java applications.
Where firewalls are installed, this viewer penetrates the firewalls unconditionally since it uses
the HTTP protocol. However, operation may be unstable with some platforms or web browser
types.
Also, because the viewer is downloaded when the web site loads, it starts up and runs more
slowly than the helper viewer.
This is a helper application launched from a web browser and used to view video images sent
from the camera server.
The helper viewer must be installed beforehand.
Because it does not need to be downloaded. the helper viewer launches more quickly than the
Java viewer. If a viewer will be used frequently, use the helper viewer rather than the Java viewer.
Where firewalls are installed, this viewer penetrates the firewalls unconditionally since it uses the
HTTP protocol.

WebView Livescope
manager
Administrative viewer
■ Application Types and Functions
This is a helper viewer for the administrator which allows camera control
operations that can only be performed by the camera server administrator and
allows interactive specification of camera presets and restrictions on the field of
view. The
administrative viewer can be started up when the WebView
Livescope manager is connected to the camera server. The administrative
viewer also allows the administrator to control the camera during operations
when camera control by ordinary users is forbidden.
Access log analysis
tool
This consists of a CGI program and HTML that analyzes the server access
logs collected on the camera server and then visually presents the viewer
access statistics for the camera server to the administrator. Under the default
settings, HTML pages are downloaded to the client (web browser) by the HTTP
conversion server and the CGI program is also launched by the HTTP
conversion server.
The WebView Livescope manager allows each of the camera server modules to
be managed remotely. This application also starts up the administrative viewer
(see below) and the web browser used for access log analysis.
