of the detection line.
• Click [Clear detection line] to delete a detection line.
Setting Detection Criteria per Detection Type
Specify different detection criteria for each detection type.
Detect criteria for [Moving Object Detection]
Set detection areas where you want to detect moving
objects.
For [Object Size (%)], enter a value or move the slider to
set the ratio of the size of an object moving in the
detection area to the size of the detection area.
When the ratio of an area where the camera has detected
a moving object exceeds the value set for [Object Size
(%)], detected mode is triggered to ON.
When [Object Size (%)] is changed, an indicator frame
showing the size of the object is displayed for 1 second in
the center of the video display area, allowing specification
of the settings while checking the size ratio.
Any moving objects detected are shown with contour lines.
If a moving object is smaller than [Object Size (%)], its
contour lines are white. If the moving object is larger than
[Object Size (%)], its contour lines take on the same color
as the detection area, indicating that “detection” mode has
been triggered to ON.

Detect criteria for [Abandoned Object Detection]
Set areas where you want to detect abandoned objects as
detection areas.
[Object Size (%)]
Enter a value or move the slider to set the ratio of the size
of an object that was left behind in the detection area to
the size of the detection area.
When [Object Size (%)] is changed, an indicator frame
representing the area of the object is displayed for 1
second in the center of the video display area. This allows
you to check the size ratio of the abandoned object
detection area while specifying the [Object Size (%)]
setting.
[Duration (Sec)]
Set the time that must elapse after an object has been left.
If both the values for [Object Size (%)] and [Duration
(Sec)] are exceeded, detection mode is triggered to ON.
Any moving objects detected are shown with contour lines.
If [Object Size (%)] and [Duration (Sec)] are not exceeded,
contour lines are white. When all detection criteria are met,
contour lines take on the same color as the detection area
and “detected” mode is triggered to ON.
Detect criteria for [Removed Object Detection]
Set detection areas for objects whose removal you want to
detect. If there are multiple objects for which you want to
enable detection, be sure to configure Removed Object
Detection for each object.
For [Duration (Sec)], set the time that must elapse after
the object has been taken away. Detected mode will be
triggered to ON when an object is taken away from the
detection area for a period longer than the set [Duration
(Sec)].
Any moving objects detected are shown with contour
lines. As long as [Duration (Sec)] has not elapsed,
contour lines are white. When [Duration (Sec)] has
elapsed, contour lines take on the same color as the
detection area, indicating that “detected” mode has been
triggered to ON.
Detect criteria for [Camera Tampering Detection]
For [Camera Tampering Detection], the entire video
display area becomes the detection area. Detected mode
will be triggered to ON when the video changes over an
area exceeding the ratio set in [Change Ratio (%)].

has been triggered to ON.
Note
Detection will not be possible for three seconds after the change
ratio is modified when camera tampering detection is selected, or
when switching into camera tampering detection from another
detection mode.
Detect criteria for [Passing Detection]
Set the passing direction and decision point of the moving
object for the detection line that the moving object will
cross.
[Passing Direction]
Select the direction for moving objects to pass the
detection line. When an object that moves in the selected
direction passes the detection line, “line crossed” is
detected.
A preview display shows the selected passing direction
on the detection line in the video display area.
[Decision Point]
Select the decision point of a moving object in
accordance with a detection line. When a decision point
selected here crosses the detection line, “line crossed” is
detected. In the video display area, a cross mark is
displayed to indicate the decision point in the detection
frame.
[Object Size (%)]
Enter or use the slider to set the size ratio of moving
objects for the entire screen.
When a moving object exceeds the value set for [Object
Size (%)], it becomes a passing detection target.
When [Object Size (%)] is changed, an indicator frame

Major Differences Between the Admin
Viewer and the VB Viewer
• The operable ranges differ between the viewers.
Admin Viewer:
Users can use the administrative control functions,
such as shooting adjustment settings or event
detection display.
VB Viewer:
This viewer is limited to basic image operations for
viewing images.
• Accessible controls are different.
Admin Viewer:
Users with privileged camera control can use this
viewer.
Password authentication is required.
Authorized users must have privileged camera
control assigned by the Administrator beforehand
(p. 73).
VB Viewer:
Users with camera control authority can use this
viewer. You can set the applicable options to
enable/disable authentication, etc.
User Authorities and Camera Control
Privileges
User authorities and their relative camera control
privileges are specified as follows.
* Can be changed: The Administrator can change the
privileges of Authorized Users and Guest Users (p. 73).
The four authorities that can be set for users are privileged
camera control, camera control, video distribution and
audio distribution.
Users must have privileged camera control to use the
Admin Viewer.
Users must have the video distribution authority to display
images using the VB Viewer. To operate the camera using

Admin Viewer/VB Viewer
[Administrator]
This user is given all authorities. The user name is fixed
to “root”.
The Administrator can launch the Admin Viewer or the
VB Viewer from the [Admin Viewer] link or [VB Viewer]
link, respectively, on the top page.
[Authorized User]
Authorized users can launch the Admin Viewer from
the [Admin Viewer] link on the top page if they have
privileged camera control. Authorized users can no
longer launch the Admin Viewer upon losing privileged
camera control. However, they can still launch the VB
Viewer. Launching the VB Viewer can be prohibited by
disabling all authorities of a given authorized user
(p. 73).
[Guest User]
This user can only use the following functions:
Backlight compensation, snapshots, image display,
audio distribution
Pan/tilt/zoom camera control
Digital PTZ
Guest users can launch the VB Viewer from the [VB
Viewer] link on the top page. The Administrator can
completely prohibit all camera access from guest users
by disabling all their authorities.
Note
• The factory default setting gives privileged camera control to
[Authorized User] as well.
• If all guest user authorities are disabled, the user
authentication dialog box will appear when the VB Viewer is
launched. When an authorized user or administrator name and
password are entered, the VB Viewer can be used with
authorized user or administrator authorities, respectively.
Important
• Only the [Administrator] can transmit audio from the viewer.
• At any time, the [Administrator] can launch the Admin Viewer
to override the camera control privileges of another instance
of the Admin Viewer launched by an [Authorized User]. The
Administrator can retain the camera control privileges, but
doing so prevents authorized users from obtaining 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.
• The Admin Viewer launched by the [Administrator] can access
only one camera at a time. While administrator authorities are
used to access the camera from a given PC, access with
administrator authorities from other PCs will be not be granted.
In contrast, the camera can be accessed simultaneously by
multiple instances of the Admin Viewer launched by
[Authorized Users] from different PCs. Take note, however,
that when controlling the camera, the control privileges are
given to the user who accessed the camera most recently.

• If the subject looks greenish under mercury lamps in the
[Auto] mode, select the [Mercury Lamp] mode under light
source. If the image is still not shown in appropriate colors
under mercury lamps when the [Mercury Lamp] mode is
selected under light source, use [One-shot WB].
• When the subject has only one color, under low light
conditions, or when sodium lamps, mercury lamps or certain
other fluorescent lighting is used, colors may not be adjusted
automatically.
• When [Day/Night] is set to [Night Mode] (including when it is
set to [Auto] and night mode is judged to be applicable), the
white balance function cannot be used.
• Notes on capturing video continuously day and night
If a subject that seldom changes is captured in a location
where the light source changes gradually, such as when
capturing a subject continuously day and night, appropriate
colors may not be achieved.
In the above case, applying changes to the image to capture
will achieve the appropriate colors.

Directory Structure for Data Downloaded with Recorded Video Utility
When video on an memory card is downloaded to a computer with the Recorded Video Utility, folders are created
automatically in accordance with conditions such as the camera and the date and time.
The following shows the folder structure.
Example: H.264 video, manually recorded using a camera with an IP address of 192.168.100.1, on Sept. 10, 2015, from
16:00:00 to 16:59:59 (Camera Time Zone: GMT+09:00).
(1) Folder specified with [Download to]
(2) IP address of the camera
(3) Video recording date
(4) Recording start and end times (UTC)
(5) Time difference from UTC
(6) Recording type
E: Event
M: Manual recording
R: Recording-mode stream
T: Timer
U: Upload
(7) Video format (JPEG or H.264)
Memory Card Access
Important
• When deleting a video using a method other than the Recorded Video Utility, you must perform [Recreate Video Management
Information] under [Memory Card] in the setting page (p. 83).
• Canon will assume no liability for any accident or damage resulting from use of FTP software.

Note
• A folder is created once per hour.
• If the time difference is added to the starting and ending times, it will equal the local time.
File Name Format for Data Downloaded with Recorded Video Utility
Example: Video, manually recorded on Sept. 10, 2015, starting from 16:06:19 (Camera Time Zone: GMT+09:00).
(1) Video recording date
(2) File creation time (UTC)
(3) Recording start time (UTC)
(4) Recording type
E: Event
M: Manual recording
R: Recording-mode stream
T: Timer
U: Upload
Note
• The file creation time will be earlier than the actual start of recording time.
• If multiple video files were created because recording continued for several seconds or more, a new file name with different values for
(2) and the sequential number ending will be used. In the above example, if recording starts at 16:09:19, and the next file is switched to
4 seconds later, the file name will be as follows.
20150910070623-070619-M00_508.mov
Since this is a continuation of the recording that started at 16:09:19, the recording start time (3) will remain as “070619”. The sequential
number at the end of the file name will be increased by one increment.
20150910 070618-070619- M 00 _ 507.mov

There is no audio. • If there is no audio, check the audio server settings of the camera and also check the
sound and audio device settings for the PC.
• If you are using the Admin Viewer with the administrator authorities, check if the
camera is connected to the RM Viewer or another viewer that lets the administrator
use audio.
• In VB Viewer, audio cannot be used if the Canon Network Camera Audio Receiver
add-on is not installed.
• When you are using Internet Explorer 10 or 11 in a 64-bit operating system and the
camera is registered as a trusted site and protected mode is enabled, reception and
transmission of audio may be disabled. If this occurs, disable protected mode.
The camera cannot be controlled. • If you connect the Admin Viewer as an administrator, you will have exclusive
possession of the camera control privileges. If you connect to the Admin Viewer as an
Authorized User, you cannot control the camera unless the administrator releases
camera control. Consult the Administrator (p. 134).
The viewer gets disconnected. • Check the network and PC for abnormality.
• Reboot the PC and connect again.
You forgot your password. • You can initialize all settings of the camera excluding date and time using the reset
switch (p. 178). After performing initialization, use the Camera Management Tool to
register the administrator password again. Note, however, that network settings such
as the IP address and subnet mask will be initialized and must be set again.
Data cannot be uploaded. • Check the upload destination in the [Upload] menu, as well as the upload operation
upon event in the [Event] menu, to see if both are set correctly.
• You can perform an operation check based on the currently set upload destination by
running a test (p. 65) from the [Upload] menu.
• Check [Maintenance] > [View Logs] or logs on the server to check the detailed
operating environment. For [View Logs], see “Application (Uploader) Messages”
(p. 167). Also see “Important” in p. 64.
• For the server settings, contact your System Administrator.
You cannot use recording-mode stream
transmission.
• You cannot use recording-mode stream transmission if [Upload] > [Upload] is set to
HTTP or FTP. Set [Upload] to [Upload Disabled] (p. 64).
Video cannot be recorded on an memory
card.
• To record video to an memory card when an event occurs, check the [Video Record
Action] settings under [Event] in the setting page. When [Video Record Action] is set
to [Upload], change it to [Record to Memory Card].
• When recording-mode stream video that could not be transmitted due to network
errors or video for which the HTTP/FTP upload failed is not stored on the memory card,
check [Operation Settings] under [Memory Card] in the setting page. When
[Operation Settings] is set to [Save Log], change it to [Save Logs and Videos].
• To manually save recordings to an memory card, obtain camera control privileges.
Files cannot be saved in the setting page or
Admin Tools.
• Windows prohibits saving to certain folders. Accordingly, an attempt to save a file may
fail. Specify [Documents], [Pictures] and other folders.
A message indicating “Cannot access the
memory card. Please recreate the video
management information on the Setting
page.” appears when an attempt is made to
start up the Recorded Video Utility.
• Select [Memory Card Information] under [Memory Card] in the setting page to check
[Video Management Information Status]. When [Video Management Information
Recreation Required] is displayed, click [Exec] in [Recreate Video Management
