- See There When You Can't Be There
These cameras can be viewed and controlled from a standard Web browser,
video display, or even a compatible cell phone or PDA1. Place
them in your home, office, vacation home or almost anywhere else that
you'd like to keep an eye on things, with no PC required on location!
They are easy to install and operate and require no additional software
for the PC that you're viewing them on. Each camera also comes with a
free Web address, which can track the camera automatically. All you need
is a regular Web browser to view them on your PC, as all of the other
required software, including control software (TCP/UDP) and e-mail
software (SMTP), is already inside the camera.
- 802.11b Wireless Communication & Ethernet Connection - No PC
Required
This camera can communicate wirelessly with standard 802.11b wireless
devices, allowing the flexibility to install and operate the camera
without running network wires. Plus, utilizing SSID filtering and
powerful 40/64/128-bit WEP encryption helps to protect your wireless
network from illegal intrusion. Since the camera is attached through an
Ethernet connection (or router) and power source, you don't need a
computer at each location you want monitored. Each camera has a built-in
web server with IP address. To view the images on a PC, simply open a
graphics-capable Web browser and type in the cameras specified, password
optional Internet address.
- Control the Camera Remotely
Using a standard Web browser, video display, or even a compatible cell
phone or PDA, you can control the movement of the camera. There is 120º
of Pan (left & right) movement and 90º of Tilt (up & down) movement
available. You can also assign a "Home Position" that allows you to
return the camera to a pre-designated shooting position. Up to eight
shooting positions can be registered in advance, so you can aim the
camera exactly where you want it. You can also click on the part of the
image you want to see, and automatically bring that part to the center
of the screen.
- Record Only What You Want to Record
The camera can be set to automatically record video at certain times and
certain speeds. In addition, with optional, external sensors attached to
the camera, it is possible for the camera to email2 or record
when triggered by motion, sound, light, timer, or even a push button.
These convenient functions eliminate your need to constantly check the
image.
- Create Your Own Free Web Address
The FREE viewnetcam.com service allows you to create a personal Web
address (e.g., http://bob.viewnetcam.com) at which your camera's live
image can be found on the Internet. Access your Panasonic Network Camera
live from virtually any Internet connection point around the world! Your
Web browser is the only software you'll need. Here's how the camera and
service works: special software embedded within your Panasonic Network
Camera gives your camera the ability to locate your unique Internet
address. No matter what kind of Internet connection you have or which
Internet provider you use, the viewnetcam.com service will keep your
camera's Internet address permanent.
- Sensor Recording and Email Alerts
With the built-in heat sensor, the camera can be set to record and/or
notify you by email when someone enters the room. It can even
automatically move to a preset location when triggered, just in case
someone was viewing a different part of the room.
1Connecting the camera to the Internet requires Internet
access and may require that you obtain additional hardware such as a
cable or DSL modem, or a hub or router with a 10Base-T Ethernet
connection. The camera will not be accessible from across the Internet
unless the Internet connection is active. We cannot guarantee that your
Internet connection will always be available. The frame rate of the
motion image may be dependent upon the uplink speed of the Internet
connection and other factors. Viewing may involve some time delay.
Recommended minimum 100kbps upstream bandwidth for camera.
2Email transmission may not be possible in some cases due to
the mail server authentication system (SMTP authentication, etc.) used
by your Internet service provider. |
