Main Features
Wireless Communication
Network Camera corresponds to the wireless system based on IEEE 802.11b/g.
Wireless installation will play an increasing role in flexible mounting.
Communication via Ethernet cable is also available. Encryption establishes the
security on the wireless network.
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
Monitoring from PC or cell 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
*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.

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.
* Some UPnPTM 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 Cameras. See
Viewnetcam.com website (http://www.viewnetcam.com) for more
information.
