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 184 for further information about the case in which “HTTPS” is selected for “HTTPS” - “Connection” on the [Advanced] tab of the “Network” page (®page 159).

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

The “Live” page will be displayed. Refer to page 19 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 99), 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”. In this case, the refresh interval of JPEG images will be limited to 5fps.

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”

Becomes as follows depending on the setting for “Image capture mode”.

Because only H.264 transmission can be used, switching between H.264 and JPEG images, and changing the image capture size setting of JPEG images is not possible.

When the “Image capture mode” type is “2 Monitor”, the [Fisheye] button, [Double panorama] button, [Panorama] button, and [Quad PTZ] button are displayed and images can be selected.

Only operates on the top left image in Quad PTZ.

The [Control Image] pull-down menu is displayed in gray and cannot be operated.

Operations for the screen selected in the “Live” page, or the screen of the screen number selected in the [Control Image] pull-down menu can be performed.

The camera’s zoom can be operated with the [´1], [´2], and [´4] buttons on the left-hand side of the “Live” page. The camera’s zoom can be operated with the [–], [´1], and [+] buttons on the bottom of the “Live” page.

Only operates in Ch1.

1.4.1 About available resolutions

An image can be displayed in any of the following resolutions depending on “Image capture mode” on the “Live” page (except for multi-screen display).
