MPORTANT NOTES
1. Cameras must be configured one at a time: If you are installing more than one camera, setup
the first one completely before powering up subsequent cameras.
2. Setup the camera within 20 minutes: Initial settings must be made within 20 minutes of the
camera being turned on. If the camera has been powered up for more than 20 minutes, cycle
power to the camera before proceeding.
3. DON’T LOSE THE CAMERA PASSWORD: During setup you will create a user name and
password, which are required to make any other changes in the future. If you lose the user name
or password you will have to factory reset the camera and repeat this entire procedure.
4. DEFAULT USER NAME / PASSWORD: For Panasonic cameras, our default user name is
Administrator and our default password is password.
