Use the VB Initial Setting Tool to configure the camera
network.
To launch the VB Initial Setting Tool, double-click the
[VB Initial Setting Tool] icon on the desktop.
The VB Initial Setting Tool will automatically detect the
camera connected to the network and display the

checkbox.
After settings are complete, click [OK].
Setup progress is shown in the window.
