2.1 Monitor images on a cellular phone
It is possible to connect to the unit using a cellular phone via the Internet and monitor images (JPEG only) from the unit on the screen of the cellular phone. It is also possible to refresh images to display the latest image.
IMPORTANT
When the authentication window is displayed, enter the user name and password. The default user name and password are as follows.
User name: admin
Password: 12345
To enhance the security, change the password for the user “admin”. (→11.1 Configure the settings relating to the user authentication [User auth.])
If the cellular phone in use is not compatible with UTF-8 encode, it is impossible to display the screen correctly.
Note
It is necessary to configure the network settings of the cellular phone in advance to connect to the Internet and monitor images from the unit. (→Section 13 Configuring the network settings [Network])
1.
Access to “http://IP address/mobile”*1 or “http://Host name registered in the DDNS server/mobile” using a cellular phone.
Images from the unit will be displayed.
Refresh control
Press the dial key “5” or the [Manual Refresh] button to refresh the camera images.
Press the [Auto Refresh] button to refresh the images from the camera in 5-second intervals.
When the dial key “5” or the [Manual Refresh] button is pressed again, the refresh mode of the camera will return to manual refresh.
IMPORTANT
Transmission will be periodically performed when “Auto Refresh” is selected for the camera image. Confirm the contract plan of the cellular phone in use before using this function.
Depending on the cellular phone in use, “Auto Refresh” may be unavailable.
Resolution control
Changes the image capture size by pressing the dial key “0”.
When “D1” is selected for “Picture (Camera) mode”, “Resolution” will not be displayed.
Picture (Camera) mode VGA [4:3]
320x240 (default)/640x480
Picture (Camera) mode VGA [16:9]
320x180 (default)/640x360
Image quality control
It is possible to change the image quality between “Quality1” and “Quality2”. (→8.2 Configure the settings relating to JPEG images [JPEG/H.264])
Note
The pan/tilt/zoom/focus functions of cameras connected to the unit cannot be operated from cellular phones.
Some cellular phones cannot change the image capture size even when resolution is changed by resolution control.
When the HTTP port number is changed from “80”, enter “http://IP address: (colon) + port number/mobile”*1 in the address box of the browser. When using the DDNS function, access to “http://Host name registered in the DDNS server: (colon) + port number/mobile”.
When the authentication window is displayed, enter the user name of an administrator or user and password. Depending on the cellular phone in use, password entry may be required each time the screen is switched.
Depending on the cellular phone in use, larger size images may not be displayed. In this case, selecting “9 Low” for “Image quality setting” of “JPEG” (→8.2 Configure the settings relating to JPEG images [JPEG/H.264]) may sometimes solve this problem.
Depending on the cellular phone in use or its contract plan, it may be impossible to access.
When “HTTPS” is selected for “HTTPS” - “Connection” on the [Network] tab of the “Network” page, enter as follows.
“https://IP address: (colon) + port number/mobile” or “https://Host name registered in the DDNS server: (colon) + port number/mobile”
