• Color night view mode (auto-adjusted) enables the camera to display images
even in 1 lx illuminance
Monitoring from PC or mobile phone
• The camera images can be monitored over the Internet.
• Pan/tilt operation can move the lens horizontally from -50 ° to +50 ° and

.
Privacy Monitoring Purpose
*1
The sensor uses pyroelectric effect. Due to the effects of environment temperature, direct
sunlight or air conditioner, it may detect the temperature differences by mistake, or the
detection range may be shortened.
*2
It may take some time to transfer images depending on the network condition.
*3
1 lx is the brightness about 2.5 m (8.2 feet) away from auxiliary fluorescent light. Color night
view mode slows down the frame rate, and images may b lur when view ing a moving object or
using the pan/tilt operation.

Operating Instructions
Easy installation using UPnPTM (Universal Plug and Play)
When connecting the camera with a UPnPTM enabled router, the camera
automatically configures its network settings.
TM
* Some UPnP
enabled routers cannot configure the camera automatically. In
this case, the router needs to be configured manually. Ask the router
manufacturer how to configure it. See Panasonic Network Camera support
website at
http://panasonic.co.jp/pcc/products/en/netwkcam/ for more information.
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.
* Viewnetcam.com service is the service for Panasonic Network Camera. See
Viewnetcam.com website (http://www.viewnetcam.com) for more
information.

• Due to the network congestion or the number of accesses, the refresh
interval may slow down.
• When the refresh interval is slow, restrict the bandwidth on the Network
page (see page 32). The refresh interval may be improved.
• If the video (Motion JPEG) display is limited (see page 48), the video will
be changed to refreshing still images.
• To reduce the data traffic, the video (Motion JPEG) can be automatically
changed to refreshing still images (see page 48).
• When viewing 4 cameras on the Multi-Camera page, you may need 3 to 4
Mbps bandwidth. If the bandwidth is not enough, the refresh interval may
slow down.
When the image is not displayed on the Multi-Camera page
• Confirm that the Internet IP address is specified for each camera and that each
camera is connected to the Internet. For Internet access, local IP addresses
(192.168.xxx.xxx) cannot be used.
