Main Features

IPv6*1 Network Camera

Your Panasonic Network Camera supports IPv6 (Internet Protocol Version 6), IPv6 was created to address the additional IP addresses that will be needed as the Internet continues to expand. Since the camera also supports IPv4 that's currently used, it is "dual stack" design will seamlessly operate while IPv6 is phased in. For more information in IPv6 you wish to visit http://www.ipv6.org/. See page more information.

Audio 2-way Communication*2 (Walkie-talkie Type)

Operating Instructions

1.1.1 To Access the Camera in IPv6

You need to prepare the followings to access the camera in IPv6.

• PC Requirements

Operating System: Windows XP Service Pack 1 or later Web Browser: Internet Explorer 6.0 or later

• An IPv6 Router

• An IPv6 Connection Service To connect in IPv6, subscribe to the ISP's "IPv4/IPv6 Dual-Stack" or "IPv6 over

IPv4 Tunneling" service. The camera does not work in IPv6-only network.

IPv6 Domain Name Service

In Windows XP, you cannot access the camera entering IP address on the web browser. You need to enter IPv6 URL registered in the domain name service. We recommend Viewnetcam.com service (see page Ask your ISP about other IPv6 domain name service.

What is IPv6?

• IPv6 is short for "Internet Protocol Version 6".

• IPv6 was created to address the additional IP addresses that will be

needed as the Internet continues to expand.

• IPv6 is expected to gradually replace IPv4, with the 2 coexisting for a

number of years during a transition period.

• Though most ISPs (Internet Service Providers) do not yet support IPv6,

many local networks already use it. When your ISP supports IPv6, your Panasonic Network Camera will be ready!
