Main Features

Various remote monitoring features
• Pyroelectric infrared sensor*1 detects temperature differences caused by a human body or animals.
• Detection can let camera transfer images by E-mail or FTP*2.
• Color night view mode (auto-adjusted) enables the camera to display images even in 1 lx illuminance*3.
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 vertically from -40 ° to +10 °.
Privacy mode
• Privacy mode hides the lens into the unit to protect privacy.
• Pressing the privacy button on the front of the camera switches privacy mode on or off with a single touch.
Privacy Monitoring Purpose
Privacy mode On Disabled Protecting privacy
Monitoring Off Enabled Remote monitoring
Easy installation using UPnP (Universal Plug and Play)
When connecting the camera with a UPnP enabled router, the camera automatically configures its network settings.
* 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.
*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 blur when viewing a moving object or using the pan/tilt operation.

2.2 Connecting the Camera to Your Network

The Network page offers three options to configure the camera.
• [Automatic Setup] automatically assigns an unused IP address to the camera, and uses UPnP (Universal Plug and Play) to configure your router.
• [Static] allows the user to use a specific IP address.
• [DHCP] is offered for ISPs who require this option.
1. Click [Network] on the Setup page.
2. Select a connection mode.
Normally sets Automatic Setup. Uses a static IP address.
Uses ISP DHCP server function.
• Each page is displayed (see page 28—page 29).
3. Enter each parameter in the proper data field.
Automatic Setup
The camera automatically obtains the network settings (subnet mask, default gateway and DNS server address) utilizing a DHCP feature on the router. The camera also automatically searches the unused IP address on your network. If you select [Yes] at the Allow Access from the Internet, the camera automatically enables port forwarding by using UPnP. In this case, the camera automatically searches the unused port number on your network in the order from 50000 to 50050.

Setting Description
Allow Access from the Internet (Automatic Setup Only)
Network Configuration from Setup Program (Static/DHCP Only)
Port Number (Static/DHCP Only)
• IP address
• Subnet Mask (Static Only)
• Allow Access from the Internet setting automatically configures the router's Port Forwarding setting (some routers call it "Address Translation", "Static IP Masquerade", "Virtual Server" or "Port Mapping"). To enable Internet access to the camera, check [Yes]. In this case, the camera automatically searches the unused port number on your network in the order from 50000 to 50050. To disable Internet access to the camera, check [No].
• If you prohibit the Setup Program from changing the network settings, clear the check box.
• You can set the camera port number (80 by default). When you use multiple cameras with a router on your network, each camera must be assigned its own port number (see page 11 "1.5 Connecting the Camera to a Router Not Supporting UPnP" in the Installation/Troubleshooting).
• Do not set the following port numbers. E.g., FTP: 20 and 21, Telnet: 23, SMTP: 25, DNS: 53, POP3: 110, HTTPS:443, ICQ: 4000 and IRC: 6661—6667.
• Enter only the number (1—65535).
• Some ISPs do not allow you to use port 80. Ask your ISP or network administrator about the accessible port number over the Internet.
• If your ISP or network administrator specifies the IP address and subnet mask, enter them in each data field.
• If you use the camera on the LAN, set the IP address in the same class as your PC (see page 89).
• Set 4 digits (0—255) and 3 periods such as "192.168.0.253". But "0.0.0.0" and "255.255.255.255" are not available.
Host Name (DHCP Only)
30
• If your ISP uses the DHCP function which automatically assigns the IP address to the camera, enter the ISP­assigned host name. (Host name may be used as an authentication.)
• Enter ASCII characters for the host name (see page 96). But [Space], ["], ['], [&], [<] and [>] are not available.
