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
Notes:
• When "ON" is selected for "User Authentication", 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
When accessing the camera without changing the
default password, the pop-up window saying that it
is recommended to change the password will be displayed.
To enhance the security, change the password for
the user "admin". It is recommended to change this
password periodically.
• When "Unicast port (AUTO)" or "Unicast (MANUAL)"
is selected for "Transmission type" of "MPEG-4
setup", up to 8 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 "Total bit rate" and
"Max bit rate (per 1 client)", the maximum concurrent
access number may be less than 8 users. When 8
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 setup",
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 for MPEG images is limited to
15 fps at the maximum even when a frame-rate-prioritized bit rate is selected at "Max bit rate (per 1
client)" of "MPEG-4 transmission".
<Refresh interval (MPEG-4)>
• When "ON" is selected for "MPEG-4 transmission"
JPEG (VGA): 5 fps
JPEG (QVGA): 10 fps
• When "OFF" is selected for "MPEG-4 transmission"
JPEG (VGA or QVGA): 30 fps
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: http://192.168.0.10)
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
web browser to bypass the proxy server for the local
address.
Step 3
Press the [Enter] key on the keyboard.
→ The "Live" page will be displayed.
Important:
• When displaying multiple MPEG-4 images on a PC,
images may not be displayed depending on the performance of the PC.

Auto track: Automatically tracks an object in the
shooting area.
Notes:
• The auto track function works only when the size of
the object is larger than 1/48 of the main area and
also the contrast ratio between the object and the
background is more than 5 %.
• The auto track function of this camera is the simplified function that tracks a moving object in the shooting area. It may be impossible to track a moving
object in the following cases:
• When there are multiple moving objects in the
shooting area
• When the contrast ratio between a moving object
and the background is almost none
• When an object moves quickly
• When a moving object is too small or too big
• When the shooting area is dark
• When there is a flicker in the shooting area
• When the zoom ratio is set to the TELE side, it
may be difficult to obtain accuracy with the auto
tracking function. It is recommended to use the
auto tracking function with setting the zoom ratio
to the WIDE side.
Auto pan: Automatically pans between the left position
and the right position set in advance (☞ Setup
Instructions).
Even when the camera is operated for zooming or
focusing, the camera continues panning. (However,
panning will stop when the zoom button (x1) is
clicked.)
Preset sequence: Automatically moves to the preset
positions (☞ Setup Instructions) orderly (start from
the lowest preset position number).
360 map-shot: Moves 45° horizontally at a time and
repeats 7 times to shoot images of each 45° position
(45° x 8 = 360°), and then displays 8 thumbnail
images of each 45° position (45° x 8 = 360°) on a
newly opened window. When a thumbnail image is
clicked, the camera moves to the respective position
and live images will be displayed on the "Live" page.
7
Preset map-shot: 8 thumbnail images of the preset
position 1-8 (☞ Setup Instructions) will be displayed
orderly on a newly displayed window. When a
thumbnail image is clicked, the camera moves to the
respective position and live images will be displayed
on the "Live" page.
Notes:
• Do not operate the browser until all the thumbnail
images are displayed and the camera returns to the
original position (where the camera was when "360°
map-shot" or "Preset map-shot" was carried out).
• When "360 map-shot" is carried out while the camera is moving (panning/tilting), images captured
while panning/tilting may be displayed as the thumbnail display. In this case, stop the current operation
and carry out "360 map-shot" again.
• When "Preset map-shot" is carried out with an
unregistered preset position (among preset position
1-8), the thumbnail image of the preset position
before the unregistered preset position will be displayed.
In this case, the camera will not move when the
thumbnail image is clicked. (For example, when preset position 3 is unregistered, the thumbnail image
of preset position 2 will be displayed as the thumbnail image of preset position 3. The camera will not
move when the thumbnail image of preset position 3
is clicked.)
• The camera will not always returns to the exactly
same position where it was before "360° map-shot"
or "Preset map-shot" was carried out. (It may sometimes be slightly different.)
• The window on which the thumbnail images are displayed will close when Clicking the following buttons
that can switch the camera channel or reload
images.
[Live] button, multi-screen buttons, image type buttons ([MPEG-4]/[JPEG]), image capture size buttons
