sensor direction.
Notes
• The sensor can easily detect temperature differences of objects moving sideways
within the detection range, but cannot easily detect objects moving slowly towards
the sensor. Mount the camera where the objects often pass across the detection
range (see Figure 1).
• If the lens position does not match the sensor direction, the buffered or transferred
images may not capture the object detected by the sensor (see Figure 2). We recom-
mend you to set the pan/tilt range to match the sensor direction or to restrict the user's
access level to disable the pan/tilt operation.

Mount the camera.
You should understand the detection range of the pyroelectric infrared sensor before mounting the camera. The camera can be mounted on the wall.
In the wall mount, the Ethernet cable should be put through the bottom of the camera.
Screw the 2 screws (included accessories) with
the 2 washers (included accessories) into the
wall, and mount the camera.
Remove the cable cover and put the Ethernet
cable through the bottom of the camera, and then
reattach the cable cover.

• The AC adaptor should be connected to a vertically
oriented or floor-mounted AC outlet. Do not connect the
AC adaptor to a ceiling-mounted AC outlet, as the
weight of the adaptor may cause it to become
disconnected.
• Drive mounting screws into the wall. Be careful to avoid
touching any metalwork (metal/wire laths etc.), conduits
or electrical cables buried in the wall.

Notes
• The included screws are only for a wooden wall.
• Mount the camera on the stable location such
as a wooden column. The camera may fall and
break down.
• The camera is intended for indoor use only.
Do not mount the camera outside the house.
• To correctly control the pan/tilt operation, do
not incline the camera in mounting.
• Do not mount the camera upside down. The
image may be displayed upside down.

Notes
• Read the Installation/Troubleshooting before mounting the camera.
• Prepare the Ethernet cable with enough length before mounting the camera.
• You can view the image even in 1 lx illuminance. But if you feel hard to view the image, you had better use supplemental lighting.

About Pyroelectric Infrared Sensor
(See Panasonic Network Camera support website at http://panasonic.co.jp/pcc/products/en/netwkcam/ for details about the
pyroelectric infrared sensor.)
The sensor (pyroelectric infrared sensor) detects temperature differences with the infrared rays naturally emitted by human or animal bodies. The sensor trigger can acti-
vate buffering images to the internal memory or transferring images by E-mail or FTP. The detection range is about 30 ° horizontally, about 85 ° vertically and about 5-m
(16.4 feet) distance. Since the detection range is easily affected by the environment temperature or how fast the object speed is, consider your mounting location.
• If there is no temperature difference between human body and environment like in summer,
the sensor may not detect anything.
• If the object is less than about 1 m (40 inches) away from the camera, the camera may
detect the object outside the range.
• If the sensor is obstructed, the sensor does not detect anything. Remove the obstacle in
front of the sensor.
•
The sensor may malfunction in the following areas. Avoid these locations.
Where direct sunlight
hits the object
In a greasy or humid
place like a kitchen
Where there are sharp
temperature changes
like near an air condi-
tioner
Near a radio wave emit-
ting device

About Location
About Privacy Mode
Privacy mode hides the lens into the unit to protect privacy. The operations are:
Enable
: The camera hides the lens into the unit and disable monitoring.
Disable
: The camera returns to normal operation and enables monitoring.
You can keep your privacy in privacy mode. Pressing the privacy button on the front of the camera
switches privacy mode on or off with a single touch. For example, if you go outside your house, you
can monitor your house from outside. If you stay in your house, you can protect your privacy with a
single touch. The administrator is also able to control privacy mode over the network (see page 70 of
the Operating Instructions in the Setup CD-ROM).
Privacy Button
Pressing the privacy
button switches privacy
mode on or off.
• In privacy mode, the camera operation stops, and the image transfer by
timer or sensor is also stopped.

Wall Mount
Caution
Do not mount the camera on a soft material. The
camera may fall and break down.
