2.1 Monitor images on a cellular phone
It is possible to connect to the camera using a cellular phone via the Internet and monitor images (JPEG only) from the camera on the screen of the cellular phone. It is also possible to refresh images to display the latest image or perform panning, tilting and zooming operations.
IMPORTANT

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 camera. (→Section 17 Configuring the network settings [Network])
