							1   Monitor images on a PCThe following are descriptions of how to monitor images from the camera on a PC.
1.1  Monitor images from a single camera 1.Start up the web browser.
2. Enter the IP address designated using the Panasonic “IP Setting Software” in the address box of the
browser.
• Example when entering an IPv4 address:  http://URL registered using IPv4 address
http://192.168.0.10/
• Example when entering an IPv6 address:  http://[URL registered using IPv6 address]
http://[2001:db8::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. (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.

→ The “Live” page will be displayed. Refer to page 19 for further information about the “Live” page.
When “On” is selected for “User auth.”, the authentication window will be displayed before displaying 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 name  “admin”. It is recommended to change
this password periodically.
• When displaying multiple H.264 images on a PC, images may not be displayed depending on the
performance of the PC.
Note
•The maximum number of concurrent access user is 14 including users who is receiving H.264 images
and users who are receiving JPEG images. Depending on the set values for “Bandwidth control(bit
rate)”  and “Max bit rate  (per client) ”, the maximum concurrent access number may be 14 or less users.
When 14 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 “H.264”, only
the first user who accessed to monitor H.264 images will be included in the maximum number. The
second and subsequent users who are monitoring H.264 images will not be included in the maximum
number.
• When “On” is selected for “H.264 transmission” ( ®page 99), H.264 images 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 “H.264 transmission”. In this case, the refresh interval of JPEG images will be
limited to 5fps.
• The refresh interval may become longer depending on a network environment, PC performance,
photographic subject, access traffic, etc.

When “On” is selected for “H.264 transmission”
max. 5fps
When “Off” is selected for “H.264 transmission”
Becomes as follows depending on the setting for “Image capture mode”.
