1.1 Monitor images on a PC

The following are descriptions of how to monitor images from the camera on a PC.

1.1.1 Monitor images from a single camera

1. Start up the web browser.

2. Enter the IP address designated using the Panasonic “IP Setting 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]/

1 Operations

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.

Note

• Refer to page 220 and page 225 for further information about the case in which “HTTPS” is

selected for “HTTPS” - “Connection” on the [Advanced] tab of the “Network” page (®page 185).

3. Press the [Enter] key on the keyboard.

→ The “Live” page will be displayed. Refer to page 12 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.

IMPORTANT

• It is recommended to change the password periodically.

• When displaying multiple H.265 (or H.264) images on a PC, images may not be displayed depending

on the performance of the PC.

Note

• The maximum number of concurrent access user is 14 including users who is receiving H.265 (or H.

264) images and users who are 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 14 or less 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 “Stream”, only the first user who accessed to monitor H.265 (or H.264) images will be included in the maximum number. The second and subsequent users who are monitoring H.265 (or H.264) images will not be included in the maximum number.

• If you set the “Stream transmission” (®page 98) to “On”, an H.265 (or H.264) image will be displayed

based on the settings of the “Stream encoding format”. If you set the “Stream transmission” (®page

98) to “Off”, a JPEG image will be displayed. A JPEG image can be displayed even if the “Stream transmission” is set to “On”, but in that case, the transmission interval of the JPEG image will be limited to maximum 5 fps.

• The refresh interval may become longer depending on a network environment, PC performance,

photographic subject, access traffic, etc.

• With the Auto track feature, objects moving in the screen are picked out and automatically tracked.

• In the following situations, targets may not be able to be tracked, or false detections may occur. – when there is little contrast between the subject and the background – when dirt, drip, or splash is on the dome cover of camera – when there are large changes to the lighting intensity – when there are many moving objects other than the subject – when there is a change on the optical axis (in a vertical direction) of the camera – when the subject moves directly underneath the camera – when there is harsh flickering – when there are reflections from light entering the front glass due to reflections from a window

or road, or from a backlight

– when the target is hidden behind a utility pole or other objects – when the subject passes by other moving objects – when the target moves too fast or too slow – when the camera is shaking

• 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.

• During auto tracking, if the camera is operated using the control pad or by other methods, or if an

alarm occurs, auto tracking is stopped.

• Auto pan: Automatically pans between the start position and the end position set in advance

(®Page 127). 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 (®Page 123) orderly (start from the

lowest preset position number).

• Patrol 1-4: Performs patrols 1-4 that were set in advance. (®Page 129)

Click a desired point in the main area on the “Live” page that is to be the center of the angle of view. The camera moves to adjust the position in order to set the clicked point as the center. When selecting an area in the main area by dragging the mouse, the selected area will be located at the center of the main area. In this case, the zoom ratio will be adjusted automatically. A zoom operation can be performed using the mouse wheel. When the main area of the “Live” page is right-clicked, “Auto track” starts for the clicked object. Depending on the targeted object or its surroundings, “Auto track” may not perform normally.

Note

• When the camera is operated by a user with a low access level, images displayed on the screen

may be changed temporarily. This does not affect operation of the camera.

• Depending on the PC in use, screen tearing* may occur when the shooting scene drastically

changes due to the GDI restrictions of the OS. *A phenomenon in which portions of the screen are displayed out of alignment.

• When the displayed image is highly zoomed, the clicked point may not always be located at the

center of the image.

• If dragging the mouse to the angle exceeding the rotation range of the camera, the camera will

change its direction to the operable position and adjusts the zoom ratio automatically.

1.1.3 Monitor images from multiple cameras

Images from multiple cameras can be displayed on a multi-screen. Images from 4, 9, and up to 16 cameras can be displayed simultaneously. To display images on a multi-screen, it is necessary to register cameras in advance. 4 cameras can be registered as a group and up to 4 groups (16 cameras) can be registered. (®page 150)

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 100) 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.

• 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/).

• 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”. Refer to the Panasonic support website below for information about the terms and conditions for use of multi-screen. https://security.panasonic.com/support/info/
