Main Features

Dome-shaped Camera for Neat Mounting on the Ceiling

This is a dome-shaped camera with integrated mounting hardware ideal for indoor ceiling use. Conventionally, to mount our cameras (other than the optical zoom

type

) on the ceiling, a separate dedicated stand was necessary. The integration of the mount equipment and the neat design of the dome shape allow you to mount the camera anywhere conveniently.

PoE*2 (Power over Ethernet) Compliant with a Power Receiving Device Integrated

The camera is compliant with PoE (IEEE 802.3af) standards, contains a power receiving device that enables it to receive power via an Ethernet cable, and

supports PoE outlet near the installation position, and saves the cost of installing a new power outlet. In addition, since power can be supplied through a 100 m long cable from the PoE hub, the camera can be installed in a wide range of positions. Data transmission is also performed via the Ethernet cable, so the connection of several cables is not necessary. This allows you to mount the camera neatly considering the esthetic appearance of the installation position. The power can also be supplied via an optional AC adaptor (Order No.: BBHCA2A) when a power outlet is situated near the installation position.

10x Digital Zoom Feature

The camera has a 10x digital zoom feature that allows you to increase the size of a monitored object up to 10 times. This makes it easier to view objects that are located far away from the camera. In addition, each user can use this digital zoom feature. Therefore, when accessing one camera from multiple positions, each user can view camera images with various magnifications without affecting other users.

. This allows you to mount the camera even if there is no power

Audio 2-way Communication*4 (Walkie-talkie Type)

2-way audio communication (Walkie-talkie Type) is available for use between the camera and a PC that displays camera images by using an internal microphone or a customer-provided external microphone and speaker with a built-in amplifier. This allows you to send your voice to the camera from your PC as well as to view camera images or listen to the sounds sent from the camera position to the PC.

*1 Optical zoom type cameras: Panasonic Network Cameras such as BB-HCM381A or BB-

HCE481A. *2 PoE supported: PoE stands for "Power over Ethernet". To use PoE, a PoE hub is necessary. *3 10x digital zoom feature: As the magnification increases, the image quality decreases. This

feature is not available from cell phones. *4 Audio 2-way Communication: This feature is not available from cell phones. The Talk button

and Listen button cannot be used simultaneously. Depending on the network environment and

traffic conditions, the audio may be delayed or may break up.

Operating Instructions

Motion Detection Feature

The camera has a Motion Detection feature that detects changes in movement within the camera's display range. In addition, the camera can buffer the images before and after the Motion Detection on an SD memory card that can be inserted

into the camera, and can transfer images to PCs or cell phones via E-mail or FTP*6, if specified beforehand.

SD Memory Card Recording

The camera has an SD memory card slot. Inserting an SD memory card*7 allows you to record camera images (640 x 480 dots, 320 x 240 dots, 160 x 120 dots) without recording them onto a PC via a network.

In addition, enabling the Alarm Detection function using a customer-provided switch allows you to record camera images to the SD memory card directly. This can be triggered by signals such as turning on a light or opening or closing a door. If you enable 1-minute interval timer buffer/transfer with a 2 GB SD memory card,

you can record approx. 110,000

images (320 x 240 resolution and standard

quality) for about 80 days.

Multi-Camera Page

The Multi-Camera page displays camera images from up to 4 cameras on a single web browser, and supports audio 2-way communication (Walkie-talkie Type). This camera allows you to switch between 3 sets of 4 cameras. Additionally, static images from a maximum of 12 cameras can be displayed on a single page.

Other Features

• The 320,000-pixel color CCD sensor

• Color Night View mode

• IPv4/IPv6 dual stack supported

*5 Motion Detection: The detection level varies depending on the resolution, image quality, or

object. The feature may not work depending on the detection level. *6 FTP: This stands for "File Transfer Protocol", and is used for transferring files in networks such

as the Internet and intranets. *7 SD Memory Card: The camera supports 2 GB, 1 GB, 512 MB, 256 MB, 128 MB or 64 MB

Panasonic SD memory cards (customer-provided). *8 About 110,000 images: Only images can be recorded. Sounds cannot be recorded. *9 Multi-Camera Page: The feature can be used by registering the IP addresses of cameras to a

single camera beforehand.

Operating Instructions

1.3.1 To Access the Camera in IPv6

You need to prepare the following to access the camera in IPv6.

• PC Requirements Operating System: Windows XP Service Pack 1 or later 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 automatic setup function and the Viewnetcam.com FREE DynamicDNS service setup function using the setup program on the CD-ROM, are not available for use on IPv6-only networks.

IPv6 Domain Name Service

In Windows XP, you cannot access the camera by entering its IP address in the web browser. Enter the IPv6 URL that was registered using the domain name service. We recommend the Viewnetcam.com service (see page 60) as a domain name service. Ask your ISP about other IPv6 domain name services.

What is IPv6?

• IPv6 is short for "Internet Protocol Version 6".

• IPv6 was created to provide 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, visit http://www.ipv6.org/.

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 access from the WAN side is disabled on the router, enable the TCP packets from the WAN side using packet filtering. See the Panasonic Network Camera support website at http://panasonic.co.jp/pcc/products/en/netwkcam/ for information about the recommended routers.
