View Places That You Couldn't Even See Before

Meet our new dome-shaped, ceiling-mounted network camera with a zoom lens. A 4.6 zoom makes it possible to check places in detail. Its 73°wide viewing angle allows you to recognize much broader range at the single sight. Thanks to its PoE*1 capability, the camera can be installed in places where it is difficult to provide power, like on factory and warehouse ceilings, or near a building entranceway or elevator hall. This lets you grab every business possibility by breaking distance

and time barriers with Zero Distance Management*

*1 PoE (Power over Ethernet) supplies power through an Ethernet Cable. *2 For details, see the bottom of this page.

Zero Distance Management is a new

business style made possible by

Panasonic network cameras.

It allows safe, smooth, economical

business management that is totally

free from conventional distance

and time limitations.

Achieving Zero Distance Management with a Variety of Functions

Control

Wide-angle Lens

The use of a 73°wide-angle lens lets you monitor a wide area in a single view. The coverage can be increased even more by combining pan and tilt operation.

Monitor

Simultaneous MPEG-4*1 and JPEG

Cameras simultaneously send MPEG-4*1 images in three resolutions (VGA*2, QVGA, and SCIF), and JPEG images in the same three resolutions in favor motion, standard, and favor clarity image-quality types. MPEG4 is recommended for viewing smooth motion images, and JPEG is recommended for recording higher quality images.

*1 MPEG-4 is not applicable on a cell phone. *2 When viewing in VGA, only MPEG-4 playback offers a maximum of 30 fps.

MPEG-4 Visual License

When installing the MPEG-4 viewer program on additional PCs, please purchase additional licenses (Model No. BB-HCA5A for USA, BB-HCA5CE for others).

Progressive scan

Progressive scanning eliminates the blurring that often occurs with interlaced scanning, to produce a high-quality image.

SSL support

Recorded data is sent in encrypted form, making it very difficult for someone else to "eavesdrop" on the network.

Internet

* For JPEG only. The audio feature does not work on cell phones.

Motion Detection Function

This function detects changes by reacting to a camera threshold or sensitivity that is set in advance on the PC. Captured images can also be stored temporarily in the camera* data transfer*

Recording program*

Video data can be downloaded to a PC using optional software. In stores, this allows for more detailed monitoring of customer behavior, and of employee attitudes toward customers, information that cannot be obtained from still images alone.

*6 Recording is possible for only one camera. To record 

images from multiple cameras, use the BB-HNP11 or  BB-HNP15.

Easy PoE power supply

The power is supplied through the Ethernet cable, so the network camera can be installed on the ceiling very easily, since the additional work for the power outlet is not required.

PoE IN port

Ceiling flush mount bracket (option)

Using this optional bracket, you can mount everything except the lens neatly inside the ceiling space.
