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]/

<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 216 and page 221 for further information about the case in which “HTTPS” is selected for “HTTPS” - “Connection” on the [Advanced] tab of the “Network” page (®page 183).

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

→ The “Live” page will be displayed. Refer to page 22 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 111) 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

111)to “Off”, a JPEG image will be displayed. A JPEG image can be displayed even if the “Stream

Configure the type, operation, and resolution of live images on this section.

1.1.2.1 Type of images that can be displayed according to the image setting

There are 3 types of settings for Image capture mode: “1 Monitor”, “2 Monitor”, and “Quad stream”. The type of images that can be displayed and the supported mounting positions differ for each type. Check which images can be displayed in the following table.

1.1.4 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 151)

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 112) 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.

•When the “Image capture mode” type is “2 Monitor”, fisheye images are displayed.

•When “Image capture mode” is set to “Quad stream” and H.265(1) or H.265(2) is selected, Ch1 images are displayed. If MJPEG or JPEG format (still images) images are selected, fisheye images are displayed.

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.

•Adjust the volume when multi-screen is displayed.

•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.
