Features of Java Viewers

These are viewers supplied as Java applets and can be run by any web browser that runs

Java, including the current mainstream browsers, Netscape Navigator and Microsoft Internet

Explorer. The applets are downloaded from the HTTP conversion server in the camera

server to the web browser and then run on the web browser. The features of the Java

viewers are listed below.

Java viewers use the WebView-HTTP protocol for video transmission

and camera operation. They can penetrate firewalls and access

external sites.

Because Java viewers are automatically downloaded, they do not need

to be pre-installed on the user’s PC.

Java viewers run on a wide range of platforms.

Java Viewer Types

The Java viewers include "LiveApplet", which has video display and camera control

functions, "Glimpse", which has only a video display function, and "PanoramaSnap", which

features a still image display function. Because the viewers all use the WebView-HTTP

transmission protocol, they can penetrate firewalls without requiring special settings.

■ Viewer Types

Because Java applets are downloaded each time you connect to the camera

site and view live video, the Java viewer startup time is longer than that for

the helper viewer.
