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
