Panasonic introduces a newly developed dome camera with highly advanced CCTV technology for connection to
both conventional surveillance systems and digital networks. Color camera, zoom lens, pan and tilt mechanism are all
combined in a single compact unit.
This high-performance color CCTV camera is utilized as a video surveillance device.
It incorporates a Digital Signal Processor, pan-tilt mechanism, and x10 zoom lens in a compact enclosure.
A newly developed 1/4-inch CCD allows use under extremely low lighting conditions of 1.0 lx for color images.
Thanks to the use of the DSP it also assures clear display of pictures in which bright and dark objects coexist without
mutual interference. Setup menus allow the camera to fulfill surveillance tasks by such means as flip-a-chip and auto
pan.

1. Do not attempt to disassemble the camera.
To prevent electric shock, do not remove screws or
covers.
There are no user-serviceable parts inside.
Ask a qualified service personnel for servicing.
2. Handle the camera with care.
Do not abuse the camera. Avoid striking, shaking,
etc. The camera could be damaged by improper
handling or storage.
3. Do not expose the camera to rain or moisture,
nor try to operate it in wet areas.
This product is designed for indoor use or locations
where it is protected from rain and moisture.
Moisture can damage the camera and also cause
electric shock.
If the camera becomes wet, turn the power off
immediately and ask a qualified service personnel
for servicing.
4. Do not use strong or abrasive detergents when
cleaning the camera body.
Use a dry cloth to clean the camera when it is dirty.
When the dirt is hard to remove, use a mild detergent and wipe gently. Care should be taken not to
scratch the dome cover when wiping it.
Wipe off any remaining detergent in it with a dry
cloth.
5. Never face the camera towards the sun.
Whether the camera is in use or not, never aim it at
the sun or other extremely bright objects.
Otherwise, blooming or smear may be caused.
6. Never aim the camera at strong light sources for
an extended period of time.
A light source such as a spot light causes burn-in
on the display screen. Failure to observe this may
cause the image to become discolored due to
deterioration of the color filter in the CCD.
7. Do not install this camera upside down.
This camera is designed for mounting on the ceiling or wall.
Consult an expert on the load bearing capacity of
the installation surface and structure. If the surface
is not strong enough, the camera may fall down.
Refer to the product specifications for weights.
8. Do not operate the camera beyond the specified
temperature, humidity or power source ratings.
Do not use the camera in an extreme environment
where high temperature or high humidity exists. Do
not place the camera near heat sources such as
radiators, stoves or other units that produce heat.
Use the camera under conditions where temperatures are between –10 °C and +50 °C (14°F to
122 °F) [Recommended temperature: +40 °C
(104 °F)], and humidity is below 90 %.
The input power source is 24 V AC 60 Hz.
9. Do not install the camera near the air outlet of
an air conditioner.
The lens may become cloudy due to condensation
if the camera is used under the following conditions.
• Rapid temperature fluctuations by switching
the air conditioner on and off.
• Rapid temperature fluctuations due to frequent
opening and closing of a door.
• Use in an environment where eyeglasses
become foggy.
• Use in a room filled with cigarette smoke or
dust.
If the lens becomes cloudy due to condensation,
remove the dome cover and wipe all moist surfaces with a soft cloth.
10. Consumables
Parts having contacts such as the lens-drive
motors, cooling fan motor and slip-rings inside the
camera are subject to wear with time. Please ask
the nearest service centre about replacement and
maintenance of such parts.
11. Do not aim the camera at the same object for a
long time.
Burn-in of an image may be caused on the fluorescent screen of the CRT.
• Matsushita Electric Industrial Co., Ltd. herewith
declares that it will not be liable for any damage,
whether direct or indirect, caused by using the
product for business transactions or security, or
malfunctioning of this product.
12. Self-diagnosis Function

INSTALLATION
Precautions
• The following installation and connection work
should be done by qualified service personnel or
system installers and should conform to all local
codes.
• Be sure to switch the camera off before installation
and connection.
• Do not install the camera near the air outlet of an
air conditioner.
1. Disassembling the Camera
(1) Loosen the fixing screw to separate the cam-
era mounting base from the camera. Push up
the screwdriver once before removing the
screw.
(2) Turn the camera mounting base approximately
15 degrees counterclockwise and remove the
base from the camera.
2. Setting Switches
The camera is provided with an 8-bit DIP switch.
The 8-bit DIP switch is used to return the camera to
the factory default settings. Switch settings are
read into the camera when the power is turned on.
Make sure to turn the camera off, then turn it back
on after changing the switch settings. Switch positions and functions are shown below.
Note: When taking these procedures, keep the
power turned on until initialization of the
Camera Servo Control is completed.

Cautions:
• Use the supplied dust protection sheet if the camera mounting base is liable to be exposed to a
dusty atmosphere. Remove the cover from the dust
protection sheet, then stick the sheet on the camera mounting base.
• Remove the sheet before mounting the camera on
the base.
• While the camera is separated from the base, keep
the camera in the supplied polyethylene sack.
4. Mount the camera on the camera mounting base
and rotate the camera clockwise.
Be sure to match the wire with the fall
prevention wire fixing angle as shown below.

• 24 V AC Power Supply Connection
Prepare the individual conductors for clamping. Use
MOLEX band tool part number 57027-5000 (for ULStyle Cable UL1015) or 57026-5000 (for UL-Style
UL1007) for clamping the contacts.
After clamping the contacts, push them into the proper
holes in the accessory connector of this camera until
they snap in place.
Cautions:
• Shrinking the cable-entry seal is a one-time procedure. Do not shrink the cable-entry seal until it has
been ascertained that the unit is functioning.
• CONNECT THIS TO 24V AC CLASS 2 POWER
SUPPLY ONLY.
How to Assemble the Cable with the Accessory

■ Setup with the Provided
"Panasonic IP Setup" Software
Set up the network of the camera using the "Panasonic
IP Setup" software included on the CD-ROM provided
with the camera.
Note: If a firewall (including software) exists, allow
access to all UDP ports. Otherwise, it is impossible
to use the "Panasonic IP Setup" software.
In the English folder included in the Setup folder, double-click IP setup.exe.
The "Panasonic IP Setup" starts up.
The MAC address and the IP address of the connected
camera will be displayed. (Click the [REFRESH] button
if they are not displayed.)
1. Click the MAC address/IP address of the camera to
be set up.
2. Click the [NETWORK SETUP] button.
Notes:
• When two or more cameras are connected, the
MAC addresses and the IP addresses of all
the connected cameras will be displayed.
• The "Panasonic IP Setup" software can recognize only those cameras in the same subnet.
• Pressing the [REFRESH] button will display the
updated MAC addresses and IP addresses of
all the connected cameras that are in the same
subnet.
The setup window appears.
3. Set parameters for each item.
"IP Address"
"Subnet Mask"
"Default Gateway"
"HTTP Port"
4. Input the parameters for your environment.
"DHCP"
"DNS"
5. Click the [Enable] button when using DHCP and
DNS.
When using the DHCP and DNS functions, enter
the "Primary DNS Server address" and the
"Secondary DNS Server address".
6. Click [AUTO] when the DNS server gets primary
and secondary IP addresses from the DHCP server.
Notes:
• If DHCP is enabled although there is no DHCP
server in the network, check "Disable" for
DHCP in the "Panasonic IP Setup" window.
• If DHCP is enabled, and the DHCP server has
not assigned an IP address yet, "0.0.0.0" is displayed for the IP address. The IP address of
the camera will be displayed after the DHCP
server assigns one to the camera.
7. Click the [SET] button after completing the setting.
Important: It takes around 10 seconds for settings to
take effect after the [SET] button has been
pressed. The settings may be performed incorrectly if the power is off or the Ethernet cable is
detached before the settings are completed.
Note: Do not make any other settings while executing
Panasonic IP Setup.
