2005 NETWORK CAMERAS

A remote monitoring system for your home, office or just about anywhere!

Connects right into a LAN or Router

View from virtually any web browser, even a compatible cell phone, PDA and now on a TV!

Panasonic Network Cameras are a great answer

to a host of common needs. For example, you

might want to see what’s happening in each of

several stores that you operate, or you might be

concerned about your vacation residence, or want

to monitor your warehouse. At home, you may

worry about your children while you are out of the

house.

The network camera sends images to a cell

phone or a personal computer connected to the

internet, making it a truly revolutionary way to

keep an eye on locations such as these no mat-

ter how far away they are, or what time of day it

is. Or, you can use this handy system with your

company’s intranet or your LAN network at home.

Whether your needs are in your business or in

your home, you’ll appreciate being able to “Be

here and watch there.”

5 Control your View Control basic camera operations from the browser of a PC or cell phone.

2 StoreStore images temporarily in the camera’s internal memory, store them onto an SD memory card†, or use recording software to store them onto a PC.Built-in web serverUnlike a standard USB “web” or “PC” camera, which must be connected to a PC. Each network camera has its own built-in web server that lets you connect it directly to a network. That means you can send im-ages and control the camera from a distance, without having to connect the camera to a PC.

Enjoy both Economy and Safety

The costs involved in collecting real-time information on customer traffic and inventory, or watching over a warehouse or parking lot can soar, and there can also be dangers involved. With a network camera, you can reduce expenses for traveling, and labor expenses. In short, you enjoy both economy and peace of mind.

Business Use

Business use applicationsShop Management

The multi-camera function lets you monitor multiple

stores at a glance, thus reducing the need for

routine visits to the stores. Since the voice commu-nication function allows

you to talk with store staff while viewing the camera

you can exchange information smoothly.

Posting images on the webWith the high-quality CCD sensor, you can post sharp, clear images of the the nightclub on your web site to show the excitement. Showing a sales floor on your web site also helps keep the employees on their toes, improving service quality.

Parking area surveillance

Installing cameras can be a crime deterrent. The pan

and tilt functions let you effectively monitor even large parking areas with

fewer cameras making it very cost effective.

Warehouse management

Since the real-time mon-itoring of stock enables prompt restocking, you can help prevent stock

shortages. Furthermore, the high-powered zoom

can give you a clear view, even let you view

details like price tags at a distance improving

work efficiency.

Watch over your child or pet from wherever you go.

Home Use

Home use applicationsWatch your pets

You can watch your pets while on vacation, so you feel close to your animals

always. Because images can be temporarily recorded during specified

zone times in the camera’s built-in memory, you can view them at your leisure

after returning home.

Watch your child’s roomThe network camera lets you watch your sleeping child without entering the child’s room, so you can continue with whatever you’re doing. Color night view mode clearly shows the face of your sleeping child even in darker rooms where the light would be insufficient for conventional cameras.

Watch your homeThe human detection sensor

detects temperature changes in your empty

house and sends the image to the PC at your office, so

you only need to check the camera image when there is an abnormal change in

your house. When you return home and no longer require

monitoring, you can close the camera lens to protect

your privacy.

Watch your vacation residence

You can monitor a distant vacation resi-

dence right from home, to improve security.

When combined with an optional TV adaptor, you can watch the image on

a TV. If an intruder is de-tected, a buzzer sounds

to let you know.

The network camera is a great solution for mothers who want to be at their children’s side at all times, and pet owners who want to make sure that their pets are safe and well. It is also an answer for anyone who wants to monitor a distant location, like a vacation home on the lake or in the mountains, or even across the world!

IPv6 Ready Logo*1

Supports IPv4/IPv6 dual stack

Next Generation Internet Ready

Our new network cameras allow the use of a virtually unlimited number of IP addresses*2 by supporting IPv6, a next-generation protocol. IPv6 uses IPsec*3 encryption technology, which has more robust security than IPv4, thus assuring safer data exchange. The IPv4/IPv6 dual-stack feature enables you to use IPv4 at the present and switch over to IPv6 in the future.*1 This logo mark is issued by the IPv6 Ready Logo Program Committee, an IPv6 promotion group

established mainly by the IPv6 Forum.*2 An IP address is a unique number assigned to each device so that the device can be identified on

the Internet.

WirelessCameraMonitoringSystem

Just connect the video cable to a TV to watch the camera images and control up to 8 cameras. You can set up the network cameras where you want, and even access cameras from across the Internet.

Easy to Set Up and Watch on TV

By inserting a SD Memory Card into the unit, the camera images can be recorded onto the card. The recorded images can then be displayed on the TV by remote control operation.

The camera images be easily recorded

This single unit can connect and operate as many as eight different cameras.

Connect and operate up to eight cameras

The multi-camera function lets you check the images from up to four cameras simultaneously.

Display up to four camera images at once

All you have to do is connect a Monitoring TV Adaptor to a Panasonic Network Camera, and the camera settings are made automatically.

Simple camera settings are made automatically

*Optional stand allows vertical positioning.

*Voices cannot be recorded.

*The camera must be accessible from the Internet, and the TV adaptor must be connected to a broadband connection.

Change the camera direction by remote control (Pan/Tilt)You can move the camera lens in the direction you want to see by pressing the cursor key on the remote control or even access your favorite angles by using the preset controls (numbers 1-8). This simple remote control lets you operate the camera right from the TV, without having to go all the way to where the camera is.

A warning buzzer informs you when a person is detectedEach camera can utilize either a built-in sensor (BL-C10A/BL-C30A) or a commercially available external sensor to detect activity. When the sensor is triggered, a buzzer and sound to notify anyone who is near the TV.

The lens can be blocked when no monitoring is desiredWhen there is no need to monitor the location, you can simply use the privacy mode to block the camera lens. (BL-C10A and BL-C30A only)

NetworkCameraRecorder

The program lets you use a PC at a distant location for recording and playing back images with voices captured by the BB-HCM311A, HCM331A, HCM371A and HCM381A network cameras connected to the LAN or Internet. With the recording of both image and sound, you can “feel” the ambience that cannot be expressed by images alone. The program permits simultaneous recording of images captured by multiple network cameras.

*Images and voices captured by the BB-HCM311A, HCM331A, HCM371A and HCM381A camera can be recorded while two-way voice communication is carried out between the BB-HCM311A, HCM331A, HCM371A and HCM381A camera and the PC. When images with voices are recorded, the frame rate may decrease in some cases.

*Use of the program may cause voice transmission to be interrupted or moving images to stop in some cases, depending on the PC’s performance and the network environment.

The program is equipped with a motion detection recording function which activates recording only when people or other moving objects are detected and a timer recording function which starts and stops recording at specified times. These two functions can be combined so that the motion detection recording function is activated during a specified time period. In addition, the timer recording function allows up to ten settings for each camera, so different recording start and stop schedules can be set for weekdays and weekends.

*The detection sensitivity level of the motion-activated recording function varies depending on the camera resolution, image quality setting, subject condition, network conditions and other factors.

*Another PC or drive device on the network cannot be specified as the destination location. This function is not equipped with automatic overwriting.

*If the free space on the hard disk runs short, the system may become unstable. Be sure to allow sufficient free space (100 MB or more).

The recording capacity limit function lets you set the maximum amount of data to be recorded on the hard disk of the PC for each camera. When the set maximum amount is reached, old recorded data is overwritten by new data, thus allowing the hard disk space to be used more effectively.

This function copies and saves recorded data in another memory location at a preset time.

Recorded images can be searched using conditions such as a preset keyword, recording type, timer recording, and motion-activated recording. Furthermore, all or part of the retrieved image data can be converted to still image data in the JPEG format. The converted images can be viewed by using standard applications such as Windows® Media Player or Photo Editor.

• File size of recorded image data Size of one image (image only)

*The approximate recording capacity is calculated by using the following formula:Size (KB) x Frame rate (images/sec) x Recording time (sec)

(Example) One-hour recording of 640 x 480 resolution images at a frame rate of 12 images/sec in image-quality-priority mode: 50 KB x 12 images/sec x 3,600 sec (1 hour) = 2,160,000 KB 2.06GB In case of images with voices, 4 KB is added per each second: 2,160,000 KB + 4 KB x 3,600 sec = 2,174,400 KB 2.08 GB

Power over Ethernet to Power Network Cameras from PowerDsine

Using a single standard data cable for video, data and powerPower over Ethernet (PoE) powers network security cameras by integrating the power source onto the data cabling infrastructure and removing the need for separate AC power cabling. The IEEE802.3af standard defines how to deliver power over Ethernet infrastruc-

ture, while maintaining data integrity and avoiding any potential damage to legacy Ethernet devices such as PCs and laptops.

PoE Midspan is an independent power injector, installed in the wiring closet next to existing Ethernet Switch and provides power to the network cameras.

Simplifies installation using a single standard data cable for video, data and power.

Saves installation costs by eliminating electrician costs incurred from installing AC outlets near each camera.

UPS backup for all network security devices by a single centralized UPS unit.

Web-based remote management application for on-line supervision, remote monitoring and resetting of network cameras and IP terminals.

Easy plug and play installation

PoE splitter may be installed where network cameras are not 802.3af standard compliant
