Alerting Yourself when
Changes Occur
The camera’s built-in microphone collects
peripheral noise and when camera detects the
noise exceeding the threshold it stores the
image captured. This is a newly added function.
Color Night View Mode
*
1
When the subject darkens, the camera
automatically adjusts the brightness to show
you the image. You can see clear, easy-to-view
images even in the dark.

It is easy to watch
The adoption of H.264/ACV has enabled
reduction of data volume by more than 30%
compared to MPEG-4 when transmitting
data of the same image quality.
*Compatible Panasonic VIERA TVs
The camera is compatible with the following Panasonic VIERA TVs (as of October 2009).
G10 series, G15 series, V10 series, Z1 series
Data transmission / H.264 adopted
Sensors and switches can be
connected to the camera through two
external Input ports and one Output port.
External Input and Output
The camera can be connected to a TV (VIERA
only) and the image can be viewed on the
TV’s monitor. The camera can be operated
through the TV’s remote control, making it
simple even for those not used to computers.

The monitoring image is easier to see because
it fills the entire screen.

*1 The image tends to blur more than that in standard mode when
viewing a moving subject in low light. When viewing a dark
subject in color night view mode, spots of white or colored light
may appear in the image. Some subjects may require additional
time for focusing with the auto focus function.
*1 H.264 and MPEG-4 cannot browse at the same time.
*2 The frame rate may slow down depending on the network environment, PC performance, image quality, memory recording, when color night view mode
is activated, etc.
*3 The camera supports POP Before SMTP Authentication and SMTP Authentication. PLAIN, LOGIN, and CRAM-MD5 SMTP Authentication are supported.
SSL supports SMTP over SSL. STARTTLS is not supported.
・
When you use more than one(1) PCs to see any moving image by H.264 or MPEG-4,
you are requested to buy User License Accessory additionally.
