    Preface
    Features
    Network Interface Unit WJ-NT304 is designed to capture images from analog cameras and compress the images in JPEG or
    MPEG-4 files.
    By connecting to a network (LAN) or the Internet, images and audio from the camera can be monitored on a PC via a
    network.*
    1
    *1 It is necessary to configure the network settings of the PC and its network environment to monitor images and audio from
    the camera on the PC.
    It is also necessary that a web browser is installed on the PC.
    • Video input signals from up to 4 analog cameras can
    be converted to stream files (JPEG or MPEG-4 format),
    and a system can be established in which MPEG-4
    images can be monitored while recording JPEG
    images.
    • Interactive communication with audio (transceiver type)
    is available.
    • Transceiver type communication is established by
    transmitting and receiving audio when a user controls
    the receiver button and transmission button inter-
    changeably.
    Transmitting and receiving audio are unavailable at the
    same time.
    • Panning/tilting platforms and lenses of combination
    cameras (option) can be controlled with coaxial com-
    munication.
    • The FTP backup function and recording of each log on
    an optional SD memory card are available using the
    featured SD memory card.*
    2
    *2 Compatible SD memory card is as follows.
    (SDHC memory card is not supported.)
    SD memory card manufactured by Panasonic (64 MB,
    128 MB, 256 MB, 512 MB, 1 GB, 2GB)

    Precautions
    • Do not block the ventilation opening or slots on the
    cover.
    To prevent the apparatus from overheating, place it at
    least 5 cm {2 inches} away from the wall.
    • Do not drop metallic parts through slots.
    This could permanently damage the apparatus. Turn
    the power off immediately and contact qualified service
    personnel for service.
    • Do not attempt to disassemble the apparatus.
    To prevent electric shock, do not remove screws or
    covers.
    There are no user-serviceable parts inside. Contact
    qualified service personnel for maintenance.
    • Do not expose the apparatus to water or moisture.
    Do not try to operate it in wet areas.
    Take immediate action if the apparatus gets wet. Turn
    the power off and refer servicing to qualified service
    personnel. Moisture can damage the apparatus and
    also cause electric shocks.
    • Built-in backup battery
    Before the first use, charge the built-in backup battery
    (lithium battery) by turning on the power for 48 hours or
    more. If it is not charged enough, in a case where the
    power goes down, the internal clock may keep bad
    time or the operative condition may be different to that
    before the electric power failure.
    The built-in battery life is approximately 5 years as an
    indication of replacement. (This is just an indication of
    replacement. We are not providing any guarantee of the
    built-in battery lifetime. Replacement cost of the built-in
    battery is not covered by the warranty even if it needs
    to be done within the warranty period.) Ask the shop
    where you purchased the unit when replacement of the
    battery is required.
    Use this product for indoor use only.
    Do not expose this product to direct sunlight for hours and
    do not install the product near a heater or an air condition-
    er. Otherwise, it may cause deformation, discoloration and
    malfunction. Keep this product away from water.
    To continue using with stable performance
    • Parts of this product may deteriorate and it may shorten
    the lifetime of this product when using in locations sub-
    ject to high temperatures and high humidity. Do not
    expose the product to direct heat such as from a
    heater.
    • Use this product at temperature within 5 °C to 35 °C 
    {41 °F to 95 °F} and humidity below 90%. (When using
    this product without turning the power off)
    The input power source for this apparatus is 120 V AC,
    50 Hz/60 Hz.Use only the supplied power cord or AC adapter.
    Use the power cord that is suited to your locality.
    Handle the appliance with care.
    Do not strike or shake, as this may damage the product.
    Failure to observe this may cause trouble. 
    About the PC monitor
    When displaying the same image on the PC monitor for a
    long time, the PC monitor may be damaged. It is recom-
    mended to use a screen-saver.
    When an error is detected, the unit will restart automati-
    cally.
    This unit will restart when detecting an error caused by any
    reason. The unit will be inoperable for around 2 seconds
    after the restart just as when the power is turned on.
    About SD memory card
    • Before inserting a SD memory card into the SD memory
    card slot, turn the power of the unit off. Otherwise, it
    may cause malfunction or damage data recorded on
    the SD memory card.
    Refer to page 16 for descriptions of how to insert/
    remove a SD memory card.
    • When using an unformatted SD memory card, format it
    using this unit.
    Recorded data on the SD memory card will be deleted
    when formatted.
    If using an unformatted SD memory card or using a SD
    card formatted with other device, the unit may not work
    properly or performance deterioration may be caused.
    Refer to the Network Setup Instructions (PDF) for
    descriptions of how to register users.
    • Use Panasonic’s SD memory card. Otherwise, the unit
    may not work properly or performance deterioration
    may be caused.
    About the self-diagnosis function
    When the unit malfunctions due to exogenous noise, etc. for
    30 seconds or more, the unit will automatically reset and
    will return to normal state. When the unit is reset, initializa-
    tion will be carried out as when the power of the unit is
    turned on. When the unit repeatedly resets, exogenous
    noise level around the unit may be high and that may cause
    malfunction. Contact your dealer for instructions.
    Cleaning
    Turn the power off when cleaning the unit. Otherwise it may
    cause injuries.
    Do not use strong or abrasive detergents when cleaning
    the apparatus body. Use a dry cloth to clean the apparatus
    when it is dirty. When the dirt is hard to remove, use a mild
    detergent and wipe gently.
