Monitor images on a PC

The following are descriptions of how to monitor images from the camera on a PC.

Monitor images from a single camera

Step 1

Start up the web browser.

Step 2

Enter the IP address designated using the Panasonic IP setup software in the address box of the browser.

Example when entering an IPv4 address:

http://192.168.0.10

Example when entering an IPv6 address:

http://URL registered using IPv6 address

http://[IPv6 address]

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, for 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.

Step 3

Press the [Enter] key on the keyboard.

The "Live" page will be displayed.

When "On" is selected for "User authentication", the authentication window will be displayed before dis- playing live images for the user name and password entries. The default user name and password are as follows.

User name: admin

Password: 12345

Important:

To enhance the security, change the password for the user "admin". It is recommended to change this password periodically.

When displaying multiple MPEG-4 images on a PC, images may not be displayed depending on the per- formance of the PC.

Notes:

Up to 16 users can access the camera concurrently regardless of the image type (JPEG/MPEG-4) that the current access users are monitoring. Depending on the set values for "Bandwidth control(bit rate)" and "Max bit rate (per client)", the maximum concur- rent access number may be less than 16 users. When 16 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 "MPEG-4", users who are monitoring MPEG-4 images will not be limit- ed to access.

When "On" is selected for "MPEG-4 transmission" (Setup Instructions), an MPEG-4 image 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 "MPEG-4 transmis- sion". In this case, the refresh interval will be limited.

The refresh interval of JPEG images will be limited to 15 fps at the maximum when transmitting JPEG and MPEG-4 images simultaneously even when a frame-rate-prioritized bit rate is selected at "Max bit rate (per client)" of "MPEG-4".

This ensures that the images produced are not only detailed but also crisp, providing clear views of surveillance areas. With its progressive scan technology, the camera minimizes motion blur, making it particularly effective for capturing fast-moving subjects or activities.

The WV-NP304 utilizes a powerful CMOS sensor, which significantly enhances low-light performance. This feature is critical for surveillance scenarios where lighting conditions can vary, ensuring that the camera maintains clarity and visibility in dimly lit environments. Additionally, the camera supports various compression formats, including H.264 and JPEG, allowing for efficient data transmission without compromising image quality.

Equipped with a built-in lens, the WV-NP304 provides a wide field of view, enabling comprehensive coverage of monitoring areas. This versatility is complemented by digital zoom capabilities, allowing users to focus on specific subjects or areas of interest without needing to reposition the camera physically.

Networking capabilities are a vital aspect of the WV-NP304, as it supports Power over Ethernet (PoE) technology. This feature allows the camera to receive power and data through a single Ethernet cable, simplifying installation and reducing cable clutter. Furthermore, the camera is compatible with various video management systems, facilitating seamless integration into existing security infrastructure.

Security and user access are paramount in surveillance applications, and the WV-NP304 is equipped with robust security features, including password protection and data encryption. These mechanisms safeguard the camera against unauthorized access and ensure that video feeds remain secure.

Additionally, the Panasonic WV-NP304 supports motion detection, allowing users to receive alerts based on activity within designated areas. This feature not only enhances situational awareness but also contributes to efficient use of storage by recording footage only when necessary.

In summary, the Panasonic WV-NP304 is a sophisticated network camera that brings together high-resolution imaging, advanced low-light performance, and robust networking features. Thanks to its versatile design and extensive functionality, it stands out as a reliable solution for a variety of surveillance needs, providing peace of mind to users in monitoring their environments effectively.
