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: http://192.168.0.10)

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 web browser to bypass the proxy server for the local address.

Step 3

Press the [Enter] key on the keyboard.

The "Live" page will be displayed.

Important:

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

When "ON" is selected for "VMD alarm" (Setup Instructions), the frame rate of MPEG-4 and JPEG (QVGA) images will become 15 fps at a maximum.

Notes:

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

When accessing the camera without changing the default password, the pop-up window saying that it is recommended to change the password will be dis- played.

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

When "Unicast port (AUTO)" or "Unicast (MANUAL)" is selected for "Transmission type" of "MPEG-4 setup", up to 8 users can access the camera concur- rently regardless of the image type (JPEG/MPEG-4) that the current access users are monitoring. Depending on the set values for "Total bit rate" and "Max bit rate (per 1 client)", the maximum concurrent access number may be less than 8 users. When 8 users are concurrently accessing, the access limit message will be displayed for users who subse- quently attempt to access. When "Multicast" is selected for "Transmission type" of "MPEG-4 setup", users who are monitoring MPEG-4 images will not be limited 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 transmission". In this case, the refresh interval will be limited.

The refresh interval for MPEG images is limited to 15 fps at the maximum even when a frame-rate-pri- oritized bit rate is selected at "Max bit rate (per 1 client)" of "MPEG-4 transmission".

<Refresh interval (MPEG-4)>

When "ON" is selected for "MPEG-4 transmission" JPEG (VGA): 5 fps

JPEG (QVGA): 10 fps

When "OFF" is selected for "MPEG-4 transmission" JPEG (VGA or QVGA): 30 fps

WV-NW964, WV-NS954 specifications

The Panasonic WV-NW964 and WV-NS954 are advanced network cameras designed for high-performance surveillance in various applications. Both models offer a remarkable combination of features, technologies, and characteristics that make them ideal for security monitoring in both indoor and outdoor environments.

The WV-NW964 is a high-definition network camera equipped with a 1/3-inch progressive scan CCD sensor, delivering exceptional image quality with resolutions up to 1280x960 pixels. It is particularly well-suited for situations where clarity and detail are paramount, such as in retail spaces or critical infrastructure facilities. The camera supports H.264 compression technology, which allows for efficient video streaming while maintaining high image quality. This feature is particularly useful for reducing bandwidth requirements and storage costs without compromising surveillance effectiveness.

On the other hand, the WV-NS954 is a PTZ (pan-tilt-zoom) network camera that provides extensive flexibility in monitoring wide areas. With its 3x optical zoom lens, it enables users to focus on specific subjects or areas of interest without loss of detail. The camera's ability to pan 360 degrees and tilt up to 90 degrees allows for comprehensive coverage of large spaces, making it ideal for applications such as parking lots, open-air venues, and warehouses.

Both cameras are equipped with advanced features such as digital noise reduction and wide dynamic range (WDR) technology, ensuring clear images in varying lighting conditions. The WDR feature is particularly beneficial in scenarios where backlighting can obscure details, allowing for better visibility of individuals or objects even in challenging environments. Additionally, the cameras support multiple streaming formats and resolutions, providing flexibility in how video feeds are accessed and managed across different network systems.

With built-in motion detection and event-triggered recording capabilities, both cameras enhance security by providing alerts when unusual activity is detected. Users can customize alert settings based on specific needs, ensuring efficient and timely response to potential security threats. Furthermore, both models are designed with robust IP66-rated weatherproofing, making them suitable for outdoor deployment in various weather conditions without the risk of damage.

In summary, the Panasonic WV-NW964 and WV-NS954 network cameras deliver outstanding performance through their advanced imaging technologies and versatile functionalities. With features tailored for high-quality surveillance, efficient data management, and user-friendly operation, they are essential tools for enhancing security in a variety of applications.
