Keep an Eye on the House

from Anywhere

even over the Cell phone!

Do you sometimes worry about things at home while you're at work or on vacation? Panasonic network cameras let you monitor the entrance or garage of your house over the Internet from wherever you are. And you can choose the video format to match the Internet connection and your viewing needs (Motion JPEG or Mpeg-4). Let Panasonic network cameras keep an eye on things - anytime, anywhere - so you can relax and enjoy yourself.

The splashresistant body* expands the scope of applications by letting you install the camera outside, like on house or garage eaves.

* IPX4 equivalent splash-resistance

Connect

HTTPS 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.

Simultaneous MPEG-4

and JPEG

Cameras simultaneously send MPEG4*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. MPEG-4 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).

*1 The image tends to blur more than that in standard

mode when viewing a moving subject in low light. When viewing a dark subject in color night view mode, spots of white or colored light may appear in the image. Some subjects may require additional time for focusing with the auto focus function.

Alerting Yourself when Changes Occur

The combination of a built-in human detection sensor*1 that responds to heat and a motion detection function that responds to a preset camera threshold or sensitivity detects even slight motions. Captured images can also be stored temporarily in the camera*2 or sent to you by e-mail*3 or FTP data transfer*4.

*1 BL-C160 only. *2 A maximum of approximately 250 images (320 x 240

pixels) can be stored in the camera.

*3 POP before SMTP authentication and SMTP

authentication (PLAIN LOGIN and CRAM-MD5) are supported.

*4 The sensor's detection history can also be e-mailed

to you once a day at a preset time.
