Information about sensor features

The camera has 3 sensor features: a visual sensor used for motion detection, a temperature sensor, and a sound sensor. Please read the following information about each sensor before deciding where to install the camera.
Note:
R The camera’s sensor features are not
designed to be used in situations that require high reliability. We do not recommend use of the sensor features in these situations.
R Panasonic takes no responsibility for any
injury or damage caused by the use of the camera’s sensor features.
Using visible light to detect motion
The camera can detect motion by recognizing changes in the brightness of areas that are visible to the camera.

1
Vertical detection range: approx. 50°
2
Distance of detectable motion: up to 5 m (16.4 feet) when motion sensitivity is set to the highest setting using the [Home Network] app.
Note:
R Movement may be incorrectly detected
when the moving object and the
background have similar colors. R Movement may be incorrectly detected
when there are sudden changes to the
overall brightness level, such as when
lights are turned on. R Detection becomes difficult when the image
is dark. R You can adjust the sensitivity of the
camera’s motion detection feature, and
select which areas of the camera image are
monitored for motion detection. For more
information, refer to the User’s Guide
(page 13).

Temperature sensor
The
sensor is triggered when the set
temperature range is exceeded.
Note:
R The temperature sensor may not detect
temperature accurately if the camera is exposed to warm or cool breezes from heating/cooling systems.
R You can adjust the temperature setting of
the temperature sensor. For more information, refer to the User’s Guide (page 13).
Sound sensor
The sensor is triggered when the set sound level is exceeded.
Note:
R The sound sensor does not function while
the camera’s lullaby feature is playing a lullaby.
R The sound sensor may not function as
desired when the camera is placed in noisy environments.
R You can adjust the sound level setting of
the sound sensor. For more information, refer to the User’s Guide (page 13).
Information about night vis
ion mode
The camera features an array of infrared LEDs that light automatically in low-light conditions, allowing camera images to be viewable even when the surrounding area is dark.
Note:
R When night vision mode is active, the
colors in camera images may appear different from normal.
R When night vision mode is active, the array
of infrared LEDs that surround the camera’s lens light up in a faint red color that can be seen in the dark.
R If the camera is installed in front of a
window and points directly at the window, images may be poor when night vision mode is active.

Confirming the usage area

Wireless communication range
The
wireless communication range of each device in the system from the hub is approximately 50 m (160 feet) indoors and approximately 300 m (1,000 feet) outdoors. Wireless communication may be unreliable when the following obstacles are located between the hub and other devices.
