Monitor images from a single camera
Step 1
Start up the web browser.
Step 2
Enter the IP address designated using the Panasonic IP
setup software in the address box of the browser.
Example when entering an IPv4 address:
http://192.168.0.10
Example when entering an IPv6 address:
http://URL registered using IPv6 address
http://[IPv6 address]
Important:
• To enhance the security, change the password for
the user "admin". It is recommended to change this
password periodically.
Important:
• When the HTTP port number is changed from "80",
enter "http://IP address of the camera + : (colon) +
port number" in the address box of the browser, for
example, "http://192.168.0.11:8080".
• When the PC is in a local network, configure the
proxy server setting of the web browser (under
"Internet Options…" under "Tools" of the menu bar)
to bypass the proxy server for the local address.
Step 3
Press the [Enter] key on the keyboard.
→ The "Live" page will be displayed.
When "On" is selected for "User authentication", the

• When displaying multiple MPEG-4 images on a PC,
images may not be displayed depending on the performance of the PC.
Notes:
• Up to 16 users can access the camera concurrently
regardless of the image type (JPEG/MPEG-4) that
the current access users are monitoring. Depending
on the set values for "Bandwidth control(bit rate)"
and "Max bit rate (per client)", the maximum concurrent access number may be less than 16 users.
When 16 users are concurrently accessing, the
access limit message will be displayed for users who
subsequently attempt to access. When "Multicast" is
selected for "Transmission type" of "MPEG-4", users
who are monitoring MPEG-4 images will not be limited to access.
• When "On" is selected for "MPEG-4 transmission"
(☞ Setup Instructions), an MPEG-4 image will be
displayed. When "Off" is selected, a JPEG image will
be displayed. It is possible to display a JPEG image
even when "On" is selected for "MPEG-4 transmission". In this case, the refresh interval will be limited.
• The refresh interval of JPEG images will be limited
to 15 fps at the maximum when transmitting JPEG
and MPEG-4 images simultaneously even when a
frame-rate-prioritized bit rate is selected at "Max bit
rate (per client)" of "MPEG-4".
