advance. 4 cameras can be registered as a group and up to 4 groups (16 cameras) can be registered.
(®page 117)
IMPORTANT
• When video is displayed in 4 screens and 9 screens, the video and audio may cut out because the
transmission volume of other cameras is large. In such cases, the setting of the registered cameras
needs to be changed to reduce the transmission volume.
Example of setup to reduce the transmission volume:
– Set the video transmission format to “H.265” or “H.264”.
– Set the “Transmission priority” (®page 89) of the stream to “Best effort”.
• To enable the audio for multi-screen, the audio must be enabled for the camera.
• When 16 screens are used for the display, only still images (JPEG) can be refreshed.
Note
• Multi-screen can be used to display JPEG images, and H.265 (or H.264) images. If other cameras
support audio, audio is also output.
• Adjust the volume when multi-screen is displayed.
• For further information about “Network Camera Recorder with Viewer Software Lite”, which is suited
to viewing images from several cameras, refer to our website
(https://security.panasonic.com/support/info/ <Control No.: C0301>).
• When you have registered a camera with the authentication function enabled, enter the user name and
password of the “Administrator” for the registered camera in the “Authentication dialog”.
