Transmit an image onto a server automatically
An alarm image can be transmitted at an alarm occurrence to the server designated in advance. The settings required to transmit alarm image to a server can be configured on the [Alarm] tab of the "Alarm setup" page (page 28) and the [FTP] tab of the "Server setup" page (page 38).
Notify of alarm occurrences by e-mail
Alarm mail (alarm occurrence notification) can be sent at an alarm occurrence to the e-mail addresses registered in advance. Up to 4 addresses can be registered as recipients of the alarm mail. The settings for alarm mail can be configured on the [Notification] tab of the "Alarm setup" page (page 33) and the [Mail] tab of the "Server setup" page ((page 37).
Notify of alarm occurrences to the designated IP addresses (Panasonic alarm protocol)

Transmit Images onto an FTP Server

Images can be transmitted to an FTP server. By configuring the following settings, transmission of images captured at an alarm occurrence or captured at a designated interval to an FTP server will become available.
Important:
When using this function, set the user name and password to restrict users who can log into the FTP server.

Transmit an alarm image at an alarm occurrence (Alarm image FTP transmission)

An alarm image can be transmitted at an alarm occurrence to the FTP server. To transmit alarm images to an FTP server, it is necessary to configure the settings in advance. The settings for the FTP server can be configured on the [FTP] tab of the "Server setup" page. (page 38) The alarm image FTP transmission function can be turned on/off on the [Alarm] tab of the "Alarm setup" page. (page 28)
Note:
Depending on the network traffic, number of the transmitted images may not reach the set number of images to be transmitted.

Transmit images at a designated interval or period (FTP periodic transmission)

Images can be transmitted at a designated interval or period. To transmit images at a designate interval or period, it is necessary to configure the settings in advance. The settings for the FTP server can be configured on the [FTP] tab of the "Server setup" page. (page 38) On the [Alarm] tab of the "Alarm setup" page, the FTP periodic transmission function can be turned on/off, and the settings relating to images to be transmitted and the settings relating to schedules (periods) can be configured. (page 29)
Notes:
• Depending on the network line speed or the network traffic, images may not be transmitted at the exact designat­ed interval or period.
• When "ON" is selected for both of the alarm image FTP transmission function and the FTP periodic transmission function, the alarm image FTP transmission function will be given priority over the FTP periodic transmission function. For this reason, images may not be transmitted at the exact designated interval or period if alarms occur frequently.

It is recommended to use Panasonic's SD memory
card. Otherwise, the camera may not work properly or performance deterioration may be caused.
It is impossible to access the SD memory card in the process of formatting.
All data saved on the SD memory card will be delet­ed when the SD memory card is formatted.
Do not turn the power of the camera off in the process of formatting.
After formatting the SD memory card, available size may be smaller than the total size since the default directory is automatically created in the SD memory card

Note:
When the available size reached "0 KB", images will not be saved on the SD memory card. It is recom­mended to check the available size of the SD card memory periodically.

[WHITE BAL]
Select a method of white balance adjustment from the following. ATW1: Auto tracking white balance. The camera will
constantly check colour temperature of light source and adjust white balance automatically. Manual adjustment is available for fine adjustment even after white balance is set automatically. (page 58) Operating colour temperature range is approx. 2700K – 6 000 K. Under the following conditions, colour may not be faithfully processed.
When shooting a subject of which major part is thick colour
When shooting blue sky or sun at sunset
When shooting a subject whose illuminance is too
low

Configure the settings relating to the flange-back [BACK­FOCUS]
Select the method of the flange-back length adjustment and adjust the flange-back length minutely. The settings can be configured on the "BACK-FOCUS SETUP" page. Before adjusting the flange-back length, adjust the lens first. (Operating instructions (book)) Refer to the operating instructions (book) for descriptions of how to display the "BACK-FOCUS SETUP" page.
<About the flange-back length adjustment>
The flange-back length is the distance between flange surface and the focal point.
Important:
The "ABF" (auto back focus) function is for adjustment of the flange-back length at the installation, and for focus compensation when shifting between colour and B/W after the installation. This function is not supposed to be used for sequential action such as the auto focus function.
It is necessary to adjust the flange-back length again when images become out-of-focus caused by aging of the lens and the environment change, etc.
Note:
The flange-back length adjustment can be performed using the operation buttons on the camera (Operating instructions (book)).

Step 2
Move the cursor onto "BW" and select a parameter from the following. AUTO1: Images will be automatically switched between
colour and B/W according to brightness (illumination). When illuminance is low, images will be displayed in B/W. When illuminance is high, images will be dis­played in colour.

EXT: Images will be displayed in B/W by making
"DAY/NIGHT IN" terminal short-circuit.
ON: Images will be displayed in B/W. OFF: Images will be displayed in colour. Default: OFF
Note:
When shooting a constantly moving subject or when the screen is filled by similar colours, it may be diffi­cult for the camera to judge where the light source is, since light source is simplistatically detected according to information from the CCD image sen­sor. When "AUTO2" is selected, wavelength of light source should be 80 nm or more.
Step 3
Move the cursor onto "LEVEL" and select a parameter from the following. LOW: When illuminance around the camera is approx.
1 lx or less, images will be automatically displayed in B/W.
HIGH: When illuminance around the camera is approx.
5 lx or less, images will be automatically displayed in B/W.
Default: HIGH
Step 4
Move the cursor onto "DURATION TIME" and select a parameter (wait time to switch between the colour mode and the B/W mode) from the following. 10 s - 30 s – 60 s – 300 s (S) (L)
Default: 30 sec
Step 5
Move the cursor onto "BURST (BW)" and select "ON" or "OFF" to determine whether or not to output burst sig­nals when displaying images in B/W.
ON: Output burst signals OFF: Does not output burst signals Default: ON
Notes:
It is also possible to make the camera to adjust the flange-back length automatically to correct out-of­focus which may be caused when switching between the colour image display and the BW image display. (page 52)
When displaying colour images in B/W, images may not be displayed correctly without burst signals depending on a monitor or a VTR. In this case, select "ON".

Troubleshooting

Before asking for repairs, check the symptoms with the following table
Contact your dealer if a problem cannot be solved even after checking and trying the solution or if the problem is not described below.
Symptom
Cannot access from the browser.
Cause/solution
Is the LAN cable (category 5) is firmly connected to the network connector on the rear of the camera?
Is the link LED right by the network connector lit? When it is not lit, connection to a LAN may not be established or a network may be not working correctly. Check if the cables have any contact failure or if the wiring is correct or not.
Are the set IP addresses valid?
Are you accessing the wrong IP address?
Check the connection as follows: With the Windows command prompt, > ping "IP address set for the camera" When the WV-NP1000/WV-NP1004 replies, the cam­era is functioning normally. If not, turn off the power of the WV-NP1000/WV­NP1004 once, and proceed as follows
(1) Change the IP address by using the "Panasonic IP
Setup" software.
(2) Initialize the camera by pressing the [INITIAL SET]
button on the camera. The IP address will return to the default setting "192.168.0.10".
