PREFACE

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.

•Multiscreen function for simultaneous display of the pictures of up to 4 cameras on the PC monitor screen.

•Multishot function allows you to see surroundings of the object with clicking one time.

•User authentication function is available.

•High quality picture of 768 x 494 pixels

•Minimum illumination of 1.0 lx

•Flip-a-chip allows 180 ° tilting to trace objects passing under the camera.

•Auto pan

•BLC

•SENS UP X4 (MAX)

•MOTION DETECTOR

•16 preset positions

•360 ° panning at a rotation speed of 100 °/s

•Sync selectable between internal, line-lock or VD2

•Automatic gain control circuit

•Image hold

•Digital noise reduction effect

PRECAUTIONS

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 tempera-

tures 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

If the camera continues operating abnormally for 30 seconds or more due to influences such as external noise, the camera will automatically restart. In the event that this happens frequently, check for any causes in the camera's environment.

■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, dou- ble-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.
