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 [Advanced] tab of the “Network” page (®page 144).

→ The “Live” page will be displayed. Refer to page 9 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 86), 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 5 fps.
•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” max. 30fps

IMPORTANT
•When “Polling(30s)” is selected for “Alarm status update mode” (®page 47), the Alarm occurrence indication button will be refreshed in 30-second intervals. For this reason, it may take a maximum of 30 seconds until the alarm occurrence indication button is displayed on the “Live” page at an alarm occurrence.
Notify of alarm occurrences to the device connected to the alarm connector
It is possible to output signals from the alarm output terminal of the camera and sound the buzzer when an alarm occurs. The settings for the alarm output can be configured in the “Alarm output terminal setup” section of the [Alarm] tab of the “Alarm” page. (®page 118)

5 Transmit images onto an FTP server
Images can be transmitted to an FTP server. By configuring the following settings, transmission of images captured at an alarm occurrence or captured at a designated interval to an FTP server will become available.
IMPORTANT
•When using this function, set the user name and the password to access the FTP server to restrict users who can log into the FTP server.
5.1Transmit an alarm image at an alarm occurrence (Alarm image transmission)
An alarm image can be transmitted at an alarm occurrence to the FTP server. To transmit alarm images to an FTP server, it is necessary to configure the settings in advance.
FTP server settings and settings relating to alarm image transmission can be configured in the “FTP” section of the [Advanced] tab of the “Network” page. (®page 152) Settings can also be configured from the “Alarm image FTP transmission” settings of “Camera action on alarm” on the [Alarm] tab of the “Alarm” page. (®page 119)
Note
•Depending on the network traffic, the number of the transmitted images may not reach the set number of images to be transmitted.
•Alarm images failed to be transmitted to the FTP server at an alarm occurrence will not be saved on the SD memory card. However, images that fail to be transmitted with the FTP periodic image transmission will be saved.
When “On” is selected for both the alarm image transmission function and the FTP periodic image transmission function, the alarm image transmission function will be given priority over the FTP periodic image transmission function. Also, when “On” is selected for the “FTP transmission retry” FTP setting (®page 153), alarm images will be retransmitted if there is an FTP transmission failure. Therefore, if there is continuous retransmission due to network problems or other factors, periodic transmission will not be performed and images that fail to be transmitted with the FTP periodic image transmission will not be saved to an SD memory card.
5.2Transmit images at a designated interval or period (FTP periodic image transmission)
Images can be transmitted at a designated interval or period. To transmit images at a designated interval or period, it is necessary to configure the settings in advance.
FTP server settings and settings relating to FTP periodic transmission image transmission can be configured in the “FTP” section of the [Advanced] tab of the “Network” page. (®page 152)
Configure the schedule settings of the FTP periodic image transmission on the “Schedule” page.
Note
•Depending on the line speed or the traffic, images may not be transmitted at the designated interval.
•When “On” is selected for both the alarm image transmission function and the FTP periodic image transmission function, the alarm image transmission function will be given priority over the FTP periodic image transmission function. Therefore, images may not be transmitted at the interval designated on the “FTP periodic image transmission” setting.

5 Transmit images onto an FTP server
5.3 Save images on the SD memory card when images fail to transmit using the FTP periodic image transmission function
Images that have failed to transmit using the FTP periodic image transmission can be saved automatically on the SD memory card. It is possible to select a trigger to save images on the SD memory card on the [SD memory card] tab of the “Basic” page. (®page 53)
To use the SD memory recording function featured in Panasonic network disk recorder, select “Off” for “FTP periodic image transmission” (®page 154) and “FTP error” for “Save trigger” of “Recording stream
1” (®page 56).
Note
•When “On” is selected for both the alarm image transmission function and the FTP periodic image transmission function, the alarm image transmission function will be given priority over the FTP periodic image transmission function. Also, when “On” is selected for the “FTP transmission retry” FTP setting (®page 153), alarm images will be retransmitted if there is an FTP transmission failure. Therefore, if there is continuous retransmission due to network problems or other factors, periodic transmission will not be performed and images that fail to be transmitted with the FTP periodic image transmission will not be saved to an SD memory card.
IMPORTANT
•We make no guarantee for any damages of files on the SD memory card incurred by malfunction or error occurrence in files saved in the SD memory card regardless of what the cause may be.
