Main Features

Splash Resistant body for indoor and outdoor use
Your Panasonic Network Camera has a splash resistant body. The splash resistant body allows the camera to be used indoors or outdoors.
IPv6*1 Network Camera
Your Panasonic Network Camera supports IPv6 (Internet Protocol Version 6), IPv6 was created to address the additional IP addresses that will be needed as the Internet continues to expand. Since the camera also supports IPv4 that's currently used, it is "dual stack" design will seamlessly operate while IPv6 is phased in. For more information in IPv6 you wish to visit http://www.ipv6.org/. See page more information.
Audio 2-way Communication*2 (Walkie-talkie Type)
Your Panasonic Network Camera now provides 2-way audio, between the camera and your PC. You will be able to hear the person on camera and respond using a microphone connected to your PC's sound card (customer-provided.) They will hear your response through the amplified speaker (customer-provided) connected to the camera. The audio feature uses a Java installation procedure.
For example, the camera can be used in the following various locations:
• In the baby's room, to hear if the baby is crying.
• At the front door, to see and hear who is at the door.
• In the children's play room, to see and hear if they are safe.

Better Image Quality
The CCD sensor and the color night view mode provides better image quality and low light performance.
• The CCD sensor gives you clear image.
• You can monitor live video (Motion JPEG) that refreshes its image 30 frames per second.

To connect in IPv6, subscribe to the ISP's "IPv4/IPv6 Dual-Stack" or "IPv6 over IPv4 Tunneling" service. The camera does not work in IPv6-only network.
*2
Audio feature does not work on mobile phones. Talk button and Listen button cannot be used simultaneously. It will be supported by the firmware update in the future. In consequence of traffic and network environments, the audio may be delayed or may break up.

Operating Instructions
• Color night view mode allows you to monitor the camera in low illuminance.
Various Camera Control Features
The camera pans or tilts fast in maximum 80 ° per second. (The previous model: 21 ° per second) You can control the camera at high speed from your PC or mobile phone. Alarm position feature also allows the camera to automatically turn the lens to the alarm position. Additionally, the following control features are available to easily and quickly monitor the camera.
Click to Center ......... When you click a certain point on the camera image, the

GND) (E.g., turning the light on or ringing a buzzer).
SD Memory Card*1 Recording
The camera has an SD memory card slot. You can record camera images to the SD memory card. If you enable alarm buffer/transfer, you can record the image at the timing of signal detection of door sensor or light. About 58,000 images (320 x 240 resolution and standard quality) can be recorded to 1 GB SD memory card. If you enable 1-minute interval timer buffer/transfer, you can record the images for about 41 days.
Enhanced Multi-Camera Page
Multi-Camera page displays up to 4 cameras while supporting each audio 2-way communication. The previous model displays only 4 cameras, but this camera can switch 3 sets of 4 cameras. Additionally, the camera can displays maximum 12 cameras on a page in a static image.
Supporting Viewnetcam.com service
Viewnetcam.com service allows you to access the camera over the Internet with your favorite domain name (e.g. bob.viewnetcam.com) instead of a global IP address.

1.1.1 To Access the Camera in IPv6

You need to prepare the followings to access the camera in IPv6.
• PC Requirements
Operating System: Windows XP Service Pack 1 Web Browser: Internet Explorer 6.0 or later
• An IPv6 Router
• An IPv6 Connection Service To connect in IPv6, subscribe to the ISP's "IPv4/IPv6 Dual-Stack" or "IPv6 over
IPv4 Tunneling" service. The camera does not work in IPv6-only network.
IPv6 Domain Name Service
In Windows XP, you cannot access the camera entering IP address on the web browser. You need to enter IPv6 URL registered in the domain name service. We recommend Viewnetcam.com service (see page Troubleshooting) as a domain name service. Ask your ISP about other IPv6 domain name service.
What is IPv6?
• IPv6 is short for "Internet Protocol Version 6".
• IPv6 was created to address the additional IP addresses that will be
needed as the Internet continues to expand.
• IPv6 is expected to gradually replace IPv4, with the 2 coexisting for a
number of years during a transition period.
• Though most ISPs (Internet Service Providers) do not yet support IPv6,
many local networks already use it. When your ISP supports IPv6, your Panasonic Network Camera will be ready!
• For more information you wish to visit http://www.ipv6.org/.

Operating Instructions
Setting up the IPv6 Router, your PC, and the Camera
Setting up the IPv6 Router
Set up the router as you subscribe to the IPv6 service. If the access from WAN side is disabled on the router, enable the TCP packets from WAN side in the packet filtering. See the Panasonic Network Camera support website at http:// panasonic.co.jp/pcc/products/en/netwkcam/ for information about the recommeded routers.
Setting up your PC
1. Click [Start] [All Programs] [Accessories] [Command Prompt].
• Command Prompt window is displayed.
2. Enter "ipv6 install".
• "Succeeded" is displayed.
Note
If Windows XP Service Pack 1 is not installed, "Succeeded" will not be displayed. Install it on your PC.
3. Enter "ipconfig".
• If the IPv6 address is properly assigned to your PC, IPv6 address will be displayed on the window.
Setting up the Camera
Usually, IPv6 address is automatically assigned. If you assign a static IPv6 address, see page 44. To access the camera in IPv6, you need to subscribe to the domain name service such as Viewnetcam.com, and register the URL.
Confirming that You Can Access the Camera
Confirm that the image is properly displayed (see page 12).
15[For assistance, please call: 1-800-272-7033]

performance and what object you view. SD memory recording or IPsec will also slow refresh interval.
• When displaying video (Motion JPEG), the camera allows up to 30
simultaneous accesses. When trying more than 30 accesses, the 31st user will see a gray screen. (Maximum 30 accesses for a Buffered Image page too.)
• When the pan/tilt reaches the end, a shadow may be displayed partially.
This is not a problem.
• To reduce the data traffic, the video can be automatically changed to
refreshing still images on the General User page (see page
• To display the Single Camera page directly, add it to the [Favorites] on the

Operating Instructions
Security Warning window
To view a video (Motion JPEG) or to use audio feature, ActiveX® Controls must be installed. When trying to display a video for the first time, Security Warning window will be displayed. When using Windows XP or Windows 2000, log in as an administrator to install it.
If you cannot install ActiveX Controls or you cannot see the video in the Internet Explorer
• Click [Tools] [Internet Options] [Security] tab and click [Custom level] on the web browser. (1) Check "Prompt" in "Download signed ActiveX Controls". (2) Check "Enable" in "Run ActiveX Controls and plug-ins".

Notes
• Video may not be displayed quickly or audio may not be listened immediately. Wait for a while.
• If you use a proxy server, set the web browser not to access the proxy server (see page 136).
• In some corporate network environments a firewall may be used for security purposes. It is possible that this may prevent motion video from being displayed. In this situation we suggest:
• Contact your network administrator.
• Try using regularly refreshed images.
