Overview of VB-C500 Viewer
[Guest User]
This user can only perform zoom controls of the camera, backlight compensation, video
display and audio distribution.
The guest user can launch VB Viewer from the [VB Viewer] link on the top page. The
Administrator can prevent all camera accesses by a guest user by disabling all authorities of
the user.
Note
Admin Viewer launched by an [Administrator] can take over the camera control privileges
from Admin Viewer launched by an [Authorized User] at any time. The Administrator can
retain the camera control privileges, in which case authorized users cannot obtain the
camera control privileges. After viewing the necessary information, the Administrator
should always close the viewer or click "Obtain/release Camera Control" to release the
control privileges.
Admin Viewer launched by an [Administrator] can access only one camera at a time. If one
user is accessing the camera from a given PC with the Administrator authorities, other
users cannot access the camera from other PCs with the Administrator authorities. On the
other hand, Admin Viewer launched by an [Authorized User] allows the camera to be
accessed from multiple PCs at the same time. Take note, however, that if the camera is to
be controlled, the control privileges are given to the user who accessed the camera last.
