Connections

Connect the camera to your router and to the power outlet as described below.

•Before proceeding, confirm that your PC is connected to your router and can access the Internet. Also confirm that your router’s UPnP™ feature is enabled. (Most routers have UPnP™ turned off by default.) Refer to the operating instructions included with your router or to the Panasonic Network Camera website (http://panasonic.net/pcc/ipcam/) for more information.

•Use a LAN cable that is no more than 30 m (98 feet 5 inches) long to connect the camera and the power transfer unit.

Connecting External INPUT interface

The camera’s external INPUT interface allows you to connect a device, such as a sensor or motion detector, that can be used to trigger the camera’s image buffering and transferring features (see Section 2 Using Triggers to Buffer and Transfer Images in the Operating Instructions on the CD-ROM), as well as the detection notification sound feature (see Section 1.2.11 Additional Features Available While Viewing Live Camera Images in the Operating Instructions on the CD-ROM).

Note

•If excessive force is used when disconnecting wires with pointed objects from the external INPUT interface, terminals may become damaged or the interface may be pushed inside the camera body and become unusable.

Caution

•The external INPUT interface is not capable of connecting directly to devices that require large amounts of current. In some cases, a custom interface circuit (customer-provided) may have to be used. Serious damage to the camera may result if a device that exceeds its electrical capability is connected to the external INPUT interface.

•Low voltage/current circuits and high voltage/current circuits are used in the camera circuit. All wiring should be performed by a qualified electrician. Incorrect wiring could damage the camera and cause a fatal electric shock.
