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]/

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

“HTTPS” - “Connection” on the [Advanced] tab of the “Network” page (®page 126).

1 Monitor images on a PC

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

→ The “Live” page will be displayed. Refer to page 10 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

• 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 49), 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. 5 fps

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

max. 30 fps

Auto mode

Select an operation from the pull-down menu and click the [Start] button. The selected operation will start. Click the [Stop] button to stop the operation. The selected operation will stop when the camera (panning/ tilting/zooming/focusing) is operated or when an action that is to be taken according to the settings for “Self return”(®page 55) or for “Camera action on alarm” (®page 101) starts.

Note

• The [Start] button for “Auto mode” cannot be operated while the washer is operating. Operate auto

mode after the washer has finished operating.

• Auto track: Automatically tracks objects in the shooting area.

Note

• 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 the front glass is dirty or wet – when there are large changes to the lighting intensity – when there are many moving objects other than the subject – when there is a change to the axis of the camera’s lens – 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 75). 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 71) orderly (start from the

lowest preset position number).

• 360 map-shot: Moves 45° horizontally at a time and repeats 8 times to shoot images of each 45°

position (45° x 8 = 360°), and then displays 8 thumbnail images of each 45° position (45° x 8 = 360°) on a newly opened window. When a thumbnail image is clicked, the camera moves to the respective position and live images will be displayed on the “Live” page.

• Preset map-shot: 8 thumbnail images of the preset position 1-8 (®page 71) will be displayed orderly

on a newly displayed window. When a thumbnail image is clicked, the camera moves to the respective position and live images will be displayed on the “Live” page.

Note

• Do not operate the browser until all the thumbnail images are displayed and the camera returns to

the original position (where the camera was when “360 map-shot” or “Preset map-shot” was carried out).

Operating Instructions 13

1 Monitor images on a PC

• When “360 map-shot” is carried out while the camera is moving (panning/tilting), images captured

while panning/tilting may be displayed as the thumbnail display. In this case, stop the current operation and carry out “360 map-shot” again.

• When “Preset map-shot” is carried out with an unregistered preset position (among preset position

1-8), the thumbnail image of the preset position before the unregistered preset position will be displayed. In this case, the camera will not move when the thumbnail image is clicked.

• The camera will not always return to the exactly same position where it was before “360

map-shot” or “Preset map-shot” was carried out. (It may sometimes be slightly different.)

• The window on which the thumbnail images are displayed will close when clicking the following

buttons that can switch the camera channel or reload images: [Live], [Multi-screen], [H.264], [JPEG], [Stream], [Image capture size], [Image quality], [Setup]. To display the thumbnail images again, carry out “360 map-shot” or “Preset map-shot” again.

• Patrol 1-4: Performs patrols 1-4 that were set in advance. (®page 76)

Control pad/buttons

Left-click on the control pad or buttons to adjust the horizontal/vertical position of the camera (panning/ tilting). Panning/tilting speed will be faster if a clicked point gets farther from the center point of the control pad. It is also possible to pan/tilt the camera by dragging the mouse. Zoom and focus can be adjusted by right-clicking. When an upper/lower area of the control pad is right-clicked, the displayed image will be zoomed in/out on. When a left/right area is right-clicked, the focus will be adjusted to the Near/Far side. Zoom can also be adjusted using the mouse wheel.

Note
