The PC Software Package WV-ASM200 (hereinafter this software) is designed for integrated management of multiple Panasonic network disk recorders and digital disk recorders (hereinafter recorders), network interface unit (hereinafter encoders) and network cameras (hereinafter cameras) connected to a network such as a LAN or the Internet, and runs on the Microsoft® Windows® operating system. Refer to the "Compatible devices" section ( page 5) for the devices compatible with this software.
By using this software on a personal computer (hereinafter PC) via a network, it is possible to display live images of the cameras, to play images stored on the recorder, and to download image files to the hard disk drive of the PC.

Software configuration

This software consists of the following 3 applications: Setup software: The settings required to run the operation software can be configured and managed
with this software.
Operation software: Displaying live images, playback, downloading, searching for images stored on the
recorder, and controlling of the camera is available using this software.
Service software: Reception of Panasonic alarm protocol and auto deletion of the operation log will be
carried out by this software.
This is the resident application (in the system tray). Once the PC is turned on, the
service software runs in the background of the PC.

†1: When the system is configured as "System A" in the illustration above, live images from the cameras con-
nected to the recorder can directly be monitored with this software, not through the recorder.
To monitor live images directly from the cameras with this software, the following are necessary.
Register cameras in the recorder.• The recorder should be used with a single port.•
†2: The system controller is optional.
Important:
Do not use cross cables to connect the PC and each device.• When connecting multiple system controllers, operation of this software is not guaranteed.•
