1 Monitor images on a PC

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

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]/

<Example of IPv4 access>

<Example of IPv6 access>

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 169 for further information about the case in which “HTTPS” is selected for

“HTTPS” - “Connection” on the [Network] tab of the “Network” page (®page 154).

Operating Instructions 7

1 Monitor images on a PC

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

→ The “Live” page will be displayed. Refer to page 18 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. The default user name and password are as follows.
User name: admin
Password: 12345

IMPORTANT

• To enhance the security, change the password for the user name “admin”. It is recommended to change

this password periodically.

• When displaying multiple 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.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 “H.264”, only
the first user who accessed to monitor H.264 images will be included in the maximum number. The
second and subsequent users who are monitoring H.264 images will not be included in the maximum
number.

• When “On” is selected for “H.264 transmission” (®page 92), H.264 images 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 “H.264 transmission”.

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

photographic subject, access traffic, etc.

<Refresh interval of JPEG images>
When “On” is selected for “H.264 transmission”

Max. 5fps

When “Off” is selected for “H.264 transmission”

This setting is changed in the following manner depending on the “Image capture mode” type.
(®page 9)

– 3M Fisheye (Max. 15 fps): Max. 15 fps
– 1 Monitor (Max. 30 fps): Max. 30 fps
– 2 Monitor (Max. 15 fps): Max. 15 fps

• Select “Not use” when operating without an SD memory card.

• Before removing the SD memory card from the camera, it is necessary to select “Not use” first. The

recorded data may be corrupted if the SD memory card is removed when “Use” is selected.

• When an SD memory card is inserted when “Use” is selected, data will be saved in accordance with

the setting of “Save trigger”.

• After inserting the SD memory card, it is necessary to select “Use” to use the SD memory card.

• When playing or downloading images saved on the SD memory card, it is necessary to select “On” for

“Save logs” on the [Log] tab (®page 79) in advance.

• When the image refresh interval is short, notification/recording timing or interval may become incorrect.

Notification/recording may also not be performed correctly as configured when multiple users are
receiving images. In this case, set the refresh interval longer.

• There are limited times to overwrite on an SD memory card. When having a high frequency of

overwriting, the lifetime of the SD memory card may become shorter.

• A lifetime of an SD memory card should be influenced by the number of the image files stored and log

savings on the SD memory card. Selecting “H.264(1)” or “H.264(2)” for “Recording format” can reduce
the number of files to be stored on the SD memory card.

• If the data writing speed goes down after data is repeatedly written on an SD memory card, we

recommend replacing the SD memory card.

[Recording format]

Note

• When “14336kbps” is selected, the number of users who can access H.264 images will be limited to

“1”. (Only a single user can access H.264 images.)

• The H.264 bit rate is restricted by “Bandwidth control(bit rate)” on the [Network] tab on the “Network”

page (®page 154). For this reason, the bit rate may be lower than the value when any value with an
asterisk (*) on the right is selected.

[Image quality]

Select the image quality of H.264 images from the following.
Low(Motion priority)/ Normal/ Fine(Image quality priority)

• Default: Normal

Note

• When “Constant bit rate” or “Best effort” is selected for “Transmission priority”, this setting is available.

[Refresh interval]

Select an interval (I-frame interval; 0.2 - 5 seconds) to refresh the displayed H.264 images.
If using under a network environment with frequent error occurrences, shorten the refresh interval for H.264
to diminish image distortions. However, the refresh interval may be longer than the set value.

0.2s/ 0.25s/ 0.33s/ 0.5s/ 1s/ 2s/ 3s/ 4s/ 5s

• Default: 1s

[Transmission type]

Select the transmission type of H.264 images from the following.

• Unicast port (AUTO): Up to 14 users can access a single camera concurrently. “Unicast port1(Image)”

and “Unicast port2(Audio)” will automatically be selected when transmitting images and audio from the
camera. When it is unnecessary to fix the port number for H.264 image transmission such as when using
in a particular LAN environment, it is recommended to select “Unicast port (AUTO)”.

• Unicast port (MANUAL): Up to 14 users can access a single camera concurrently. It is necessary to select

“Unicast port1(Image)” and “Unicast port2(Audio)” manually to transmit images and audio from the camera.
It is possible to fix the port number of the router used for H.264 image transmission via the Internet by
setting “Unicast port (MANUAL)” (®page 154). Refer to the operating instructions of the router in use.

• Multicast: Unlimited number of users can access a single camera concurrently. Complete the entry field

of “Multicast address”, “Multicast port” and “Multicast TTL/HOPLimit” when transmitting H.264 images with
multicast. Refer to page 7 for further information about the maximum concurrent access number.

• Default: Unicast port (AUTO)
