Connecting to a Camera Server
When you use the Helper Viewer to connect to a camera server and monitor, if the Helper Viewer
was started up from the Web browser, it automatically connects to the camera server, but if the
Helper Viewer was started up independently, you need to specify a connection target or select a
registered connection target.
You can also change the connection target to another camera server while you are still connected to
one camera server, or start up multiple Helper Viewers and connect each one to a different camera
server.

a relay server, select the registered name of the relay server. Normally, leave "Not
Used" selected (see p. 48).

the WebView-TCP or WebView-HTTP protocol. In connections using auto select, the
viewer automatically selects the optimum protocol and connects to the camera server.

HTTP (see pp. 42, 43).
