is transmitted across the network. Select this when using a wireless LAN or a standard computer.

Setting the Camera Driver
Up to four cameras can be used at the same time, but
before starting a live broadcast, you need to set in
advance which cameras to use.
Also, in the camera driver, a dedicated camera driver
user is used that is different from the administrator user
that is used in the viewing application. This camera
driver user needs to be created in advance.
1. Create a camera driver user.
Create a camera driver user on the camera setting web
page.
For setting details, refer to "Setting the Camera Driver
User" in the camera's instruction manual.
If you have already created the camera driver user,
proceed to the next step.
2. Start the setup application.
Start the setup application from the Start menu or the
[JVC CAM driver setup] shortcut on the desktop.
3. Register the cameras.
After starting the application, select a registration slot
from numbers 1 to 4 on the left side of the screen, and
then click the camera to use from the camera list on the
right side.
