1.1.3 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 155)
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 106) 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.
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.
• When displaying the multi-screen, adjust the volume.
• 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/ <Control No.: C0301>).

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.
1.5.2 Transmit 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 203)
When using FTP periodic image transmission, it is necessary to configure the schedule settings of FTP periodic
image transmission on the [Schedule] tab of the “Schedule” page.
Configure the schedule settings of the FTP periodic image transmission on the “Schedule” page.
(®page 242)
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

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 79)
To use the SD memory backup function featured in Panasonic network disk recorder select “Off” for “FTP
periodic image transmission” (®page 205) and “FTP periodic image transmission error” for “Save trigger” of
“Recording stream 1” (®page 84).
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 203), 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.
