Main Features
Camera Image Monitoring
Simply connect the BL-WV10A to your Panasonic home network cameras (sold
separately) and to your TV, and you'll be able to view camera images conveniently
on your TV.
Wireless cameras such as the BL-C30A can be connected as well, meaning you
won't have to worry about running cables from the BL-WV10A to each camera.
Pan/Tilt Feature
Aim the camera wherever you want by simply pressing the navigator keys on the
included remote control.
Sensor Alert Feature
The camera's built-in sensor detects motion by sensing temperature changes
caused naturally by people or animals moving within the sensor's range. When the
sensor detects motion, the BL-WV10A can alert you by sounding its built-in buzzer
and by displaying the image from the camera that has detected motion.
This feature is not available with HCM series cameras.
Camera Image Recording
Simply insert an optional SD memory card and you'll be able to record movies and
pictures of your camera images. Later you can use the remote control to play back
movies and view pictures on your TV that were recorded by the BL-WV10A.
Privacy Mode Feature
Simply press the camera's PRIVACY button to hide the camera's lens when you
don't want camera images to be seen.
This feature is not available with HCM series cameras.
System Expansion
Up to 8 cameras can be connected, allowing you to keep an eye on every room
with just 1 BL-WV10A.
Multi-Camera Monitoring
When multiple cameras are registered, you can view up to 4 camera images at
once and switch to monitor a specific camera if necessary.

If a camera sensor detects motion when Sensor Alert mode is on, the Monitoring
Screen switches to the relevant camera, and that camera lens moves to the sensor
position. The sensor position is set as indicated on page 60.
Note
•After the Sensor Notification Screen is displayed, the camera is set to
repeat sensor responses every several seconds, and those responses will
not be displayed. The sensor must go for roughly 5 seconds without
activation. If another camera’s sensor is triggered, however, the display
will switch to that camera.
•If a camera's sensor triggers Sensor Alert mode, the camera's image will
not be displayed if:
- The TV's video input is not set to the input which the BL-WV10A is
connected to
- You are currently recording a camera image (using standard
recording)
- You are accessing the [Sensor Alert] or [Setup] screen.

There are 3 ways to record images: standard recording, snapshot recording and
timer recording.
Standard Recording:
Pressing the [RECORD] while monitoring a camera will record the images as a
movie (see page 75).
Snapshot Recording:
Pressing the [SNAPSHOT] while monitoring a camera will record a picture (see
page 75).
Timer Recording:
There are 2 types of timer recording (see page 76).
•Timer Trigger: Recording on specified dates only. Recording occurs for the
entire duration of the timer, or only when the sensor is triggered (not
available with HCM series cameras) during set duration.
•Sensor Trigger: Images are recorded only when the specified camera’s
sensor is activated (see page 81). Not available with HCM series
cameras.

CAUTION
When the timer/access indicator is flashing amber, data is either being read from
or written to the card. When the indicator is flashing amber, do not do any of the
following:
•Remove the SD memory card.
•Turn off the BL-WV10A.
•Press the FACTORY DEFAULT RESET button.
Doing so can result in corrupted data on the SD memory card. If this occurs, the
card cannot be used and you will need to reformat the card with the BL-WV10A.
All data on the card will be erased.
Note
•Do not use the SD memory card used for the BL-WV10A in other devices
(digital cameras, video cameras, etc.). Only image data (movies and
pictures) that were recorded with the BL-WV10A can be viewed with the
72
Page 73
4 Recording Images
BL-WV10A. Image data saved on SD memory cards by other devices may
not be displayable on the BL-WV10A. Similarly, image data saved on the
SD memory card using the WV-10A may not be displayable on other
devices.
•FAT12 format and FAT16 format SD memory cards can be used with the
BL-WV10A.
•SD memory cards formatted by another device, such as a computer, may
not be able to be used with the BL-WV10A.
•We recommend that you format SD memory cards with the BL-WV10A
prior to use.
•When you remove the SD memory card, the screen will switch to the
monitoring screen.
•The length of time or the number of frames/pictures that can be recorded
onto an SD memory card is as indicated below. Those figures were
calculated for maximum image size. Image size and content may affect
recording time or the number of frames/pictures.
•There are no guarantees for recorded content. Issues with either the BLWV10A or a card that result in a loss of images cannot be compensated
for by Panasonic.
•During standard recording (I.e., pressing the [RECORD] button on the
remote control while monitoring a camera), images are recorded at the
displayed resolution ([HIGH] or [LOW]), however, the length of time for
recording is the same regardless of the resolution.
•In comparison to timer recording, standard recording captures much more
data; ordinary recording, therefore, will minimize any capacity needed for
timer recording. Always confirm the time available for recording on the
Timer Recording Confirmation Screen.
