Overview
WebView Livescope is a system for transmitting to a computer live images taken by a video
camera (Canon VC-C4/VC-C4R/VC-C3/VC-C1 MK-II) installed in a remote location, via the
Internet/Intranets.
The image recipient (hereafter called the "client") can easily view the image with a Web
browser. Moreover, since the operator can easily control the camera from a remote Web
browser via a network, images of a highly on-site feel can be transmitted in real-time.
Images from the WebView Livescope server are displayed on a special viewer. This viewer
can be embedded into a Web page, enabling the creation of appealing Web pages and
greatly expanding the possibilities of the Internet/Intranets, such as monitoring from remote
locations using a Web browser, to achieve networks that are more useful for business.
Because WebView Livescope uses the HTTP protocol in addition to its own conventional
protocol, it is now possible, as long as an environment for viewing external Web pages exists,
to view images from external WebView Livescope camera servers even from within corporate
LANs where firewalls have been erected.
WebView Livescope is an image transmission system that enables users to
actively (by performing operations by oneself) view live (showing now) video
from homepages by allowing users to change camera angle and zoom magnification.
