Monitor images on a PC
The following are descriptions of how to monitor images from the camera on a PC.
Monitor images from a single camera
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.
(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. Refer to page 7
for further information about the "Live" page.
When "On" is selected for "User auth.", the authentication window will be displayed before displaying live
images for the user name and password entries. The
default user name and password are as follows.
User name: admin
Password: 12345
Step1
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://URL registered using IPv4 address
http://192.168.0.10/
Example when entering an IPv6 address:
http://URL registered using IPv6 address
http://[2001:db8::10]/
<Example of IPv4 access>
<Example of IPv6 access>

Important:
• To enhance the security, change the password for the user name "admin". It is recommended to change this
password periodically.
• When displaying multiple H.264 (or MPEG-4) images on a PC, images may not be displayed depending on the
performance of the PC.
Note:
• When "H.264" is selected for "Video encoding format", H.264 video will be displayed. When "MPEG-4" is selected, MPEG-4 images will be displayed.
• The maximum number of concurrent access user is 14 including users who is receiving H.264 (or MPEG-4)
images and users who is receiving JPEG images. 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 14 users. When 14
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 "H.264" (or "MPEG-4"), only the first user who
accessed to monitor H.264 (or MPEG-4) images will be included in the maximum number. The second and subsequent users who are monitoring H.264 (or MPEG-4) images will not be included in the maximum number.
• When "On" is selected for "H.264 transmission" (or "MPEG-4 transmission") (☞ pages 37 and 40), H.264 (or
MPEG-4) images 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 "H.264 transmission" (or "MPEG-4 transmission"). In this
case, the refresh interval of JPEG images will be limited to up to 15 fps.
• The refresh interval may become longer depending on a network environment, PC performance, photographic
subject, access traffic, etc.
<Refresh interval of JPEG images>
When "On" is selected for "H.264 transmission" (or "MPEG-4 transmission")
When "1.3 mega pixel" is selected for "Image capture mode"

action will be performed.
Action at an alarm occurrence
Display the alarm occurrence indication button on the "Live" page. (☞ page 8)
The alarm occurrence indication button will be displayed on the "Live" page at an alarm occurrence.
Important:
• When "Polling(30 sec)" is selected for "Alarm status update mode" (☞ page 25), the alarm occurrence indication
button will be refreshed in 30-second intervals. For this reason, it may take a maximum of 30 seconds until the
alarm occurrence indication button is displayed on the "Live" page at an alarm occurrence.
Notify of alarm occurrences to the device connected to the alarm connector
It is possible to output signals from the alarm connector on the rear of the camera and sound the buzzer when an
alarm occurs. The settings for the alarm output can be configured in the "Alarm output terminal setup" section of the
[Alarm] tab of the "Alarm" page. (☞ page 54)
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 an alarm image to a server can be configured in the "Alarm image" section of the [Alarm] tab of
the "Alarm" page (☞ page 54) and the [FTP] tab of the "Server" page (☞ page 70).
Important:
• Select "FTP error" for "Save trigger" on the [SD memory card] tab when using the SD memory card. When
"Alarm input" or "Manual" is selected for "Save trigger", an alarm image will not be transmitted at an alarm occurrence to the FTP server.
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. An alarm image (still picture) can be
sent with the alarm mail as an attached file. The settings for alarm mail can be configured in the "Mail notification"
section of the [Notification] tab of the "Alarm" page (☞ page 61) and the [Mail] tab of the "Server" page (☞ page 69).
Notify of alarm occurrences to the designated IP addresses (Panasonic alarm protocol notification)
This function is available only when a Panasonic device, such as the network disk recorder, is connected to the system. When "On" is selected for "Panasonic alarm protocol notification", the connected Panasonic device will be notified that the camera is in the alarm state. The settings for Panasonic alarm protocol can be configured in the
Panasonic alarm protocol section of the [Notification] tab of the "Alarm" page. (☞ page 62)
13
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 the password to access the FTP server to restrict users who can
log into the FTP server.
• To transmit images to the FTP server, select "Not use" for "SD memory card", or select "FTP error" for "Save trigger" on the [SD memory card] tab of the "Basic" page.
T ransmit an alarm image at an alarm occurrence (Alarm image 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" page. (☞ page 70)
The alarm image transmission function can be turned on/off in the "Alarm image" section of the [Alarm] tab of the
"Alarm" page. (☞ page 54)
Note:
• Depending on the network traffic, the number of the transmitted images may not reach the set number of images
to be transmitted.
• Alarm images failed to be transmitted to the FTP server at an alarm occurrence will not be saved on the SD memory card.
T ransmit images at a designated interval or period (FTP periodic image transmission)
Images can be transmitted at a designated interval or period. To transmit images at a designated 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" page. (☞ page 70)
It is possible to determine whether or not to use the FTP periodic image transmission function and to configure the
settings relating to alarm images and the schedule on the [FTP img. trans.] tab of the "Network" page. (☞ page 77)
Note:
• Depending on the line speed or the traffic, images may not be transmitted at the designated interval.
• When "On" is selected for both the alarm image transmission function and the FTP periodic image transmission
function, the alarm image transmission function will be given priority over the FTP periodic image transmission
function. Therefore, images may not be transmitted at the interval designated on the "FTP periodic image transmission" setting.
14
Save images on the SD memory card when images fail to transmit using the FTP periodic image transmission function
Images that have failed to transmit using the FTP periodic image transmission can be saved automatically on the SD
memory card. Images saved on the SD memory card can be obtained from the [SD memory card] tab of the "Basic"
page. (☞ page 26)
To use the SD memory recording function featured in Panasonic’s network disk recorder, select "Off" for "FTP periodic image transmission" (☞ page 77) and "FTP error" for "Save trigger" (☞ page 27).
We make no guarantee for any damages of files on the SD memory card incurred by malfunction or error occurrence
in files saved in the SD memory card regardless of what the cause may be.
