Preface

The network camera WV-NP240/WV-NP244 is designed to operate using a PC on a network (10BASE-T/100BASE-TX) to monitor images. By connecting to a network (LAN) or the Internet, images and audio from the camera can be monitored on a PC via a network.

Features

• Video signals captured by the progressive CCD (Charge-Coupled Device) will be converted into JPEG or MPEG-4 streams, and they can be monitored at up to 30 fps (VGA resolution).

• Audio captured by the built-in microphone can be monitored using a PC via a network.

• When connecting with a PoE (Power over Ethernet, IEEE802.3af compliant) device, power will be supplied by simply connecting a LAN cable. This achieves reduction of installation time including wiring work due to this wire-saving capability.

• 1/3 inch progressive CCD solid-state image sensor with VGA resolution (640 x 480 pixels) achieves high-fidelity motion image scanning with high-resolution.

• The motion detection function that detects a motion in a designated surveillance area and issue an alarm signal is featured.

• The FTP backup function and recording of each log on an optional SD memory card are available using the featured SD memory card slot.

It is necessary to configure the network settings of the PC and its network environment to monitor images and audio from the camera on the PC. It is also necessary that a web browser is installed on the PC.

The motion detection function is not the dedicated function to prevent thefts, fires, etc..We assume no responsibility whatsoever for any damages resulting from the use of the motion detection function.

Performance with this camera has been checked by using Panasonic’s SD memory cards (64 MB, 128 MB, 256 MB, 512 MB and 1 GB). If another SD memory card is used, this camera may not operate properly.
