Note: 
Notification will be provided when the remaining
space of the SD memory card reached the values
above. 
For example, notification will be provided for the
destination IP address when the remaining space
reaches 50 % or less when 50% is selected. (
page 45)
Notification may not always be made at the very
moment when the remaining space of the SD mem-
ory card has reached each value.

•Save/obtain images recorded using the SD
memory recording function of Panasonics net-
work disk recorder.
•It is impossible to format the SD memory card in the
process of accessing, for example, when writing
images on the SD memory card or during the FTP
access.•It is impossible to access the SD memory card in the
process of formatting.
•All data saved on the SD memory card will be delet-
ed when the SD memory card is formatted.
•Do not turn the power of the unit off in the process of
formatting.
•After formatting the SD memory card, available size
may be smaller than the total size since the default
directory is automatically created in the SD memory
card. After formatting the SD memory card, available
size/total size will be refreshed when the window is
refreshed.
•Compatible SD memory card is as follows.

the setting value with an asterisk (*) on the right is
selected. (page 29)
•JPEG images are not encoded exceeding the setting
value of Refresh interval (JPEG). (At least 3 fps is
secured.) 
When a connected device requests an exceeding

[Transmission type]
Select a MPEG-4 transmission type from the following.
Unicast port (AUTO):Up to 8 users can access a sin-
gle camera concurrently. Unicast port1 (Image) 
						

							28
and Unicast port2 (Audio) will automatically be
selected when transmitting images and audio from
the unit. 
When it is unnecessary to fix the port number for
MPEG-4 image transmission such as when using in
a particular LAN environment, it is recommended to
select Unicast port (AUTO). 
Unicast port (MANUAL):Up to 8 users can access a
single camera concurrently. It is necessary to select
Unicast port1 (Image) and Unicast port2 (Audio)
manually to transmit images and audio from the unit. 
It is possible to fix the port number of the router used
for MPEG-4 image transmission via the Internet by
setting Unicast port (MANUAL). Refer to the oper-
ating instructions of the router in use. 
Multicast:No concurrent access limitation for a unit. 
Refer to page 4 for further information about the
maximum concurrent access number. 
Default setting: Unicast port (AUTO)
Important:
When Multicast is selected, set the value of Total
bit rate greater than the total value of Max bit rate
(per 1 client) of all the channels.
[Max number of MPEG-4 clients]
Select the number of users to transmit MPEG-4 images
at a time. Up to 8 users are available.
* MPEG-4 images are not transmitted from each
channel to more users than the maximum number.
Available value:1 - 8
Default setting:4
Important: 
•Depending on the PC in use for monitoring, the mul-
ticast port number may be already in use. In this
case, it may be impossible to monitor images.
Change the multicast port number. 
•When transmitting MPEG-4 image via a network, the
transmitted image sometimes may not be displayed.
In this case, refer to the network administrator. 
•When two or more network interface cards are
installed on the PC in use, the network interface
card(s) not used for receiving images should be
invalidated when displaying images using the multi-
cast port. 
[Unicast port1 (Image)]
Enter the unicast port number (used to transmit images
from the camera).Available value:1024 - 50000 (Only even numbers are
available.)

CH1: 32004
CH2: 32006
CH3: 32008
CH4: 32010
[Unicast port2 (Audio)]
Enter the unicast port number (used to transmit audio
from the unit). 
Available value:1024 - 50000 (Only even numbers are
available.)
Default setting:33004

Calculation of refresh interval (JPEG)
It is possible to calculate an interval to refresh the dis-
played JPEG image that can be transmitted to the max
number of users accessing.
Calculated values are approximate. Refresh interval
changes depending on the settings or the network sta-
tus.
[Number of JPEG clients when connecting with max
number of MPEG-4 clients]
The number of JPEG clients of each channel that can
connect when the number of accessing MPEG-4 clients
is maximum is displayed.

About the individual setup menu
It is possible to configure the settings for JPEG and MPEG-4 images of each channel individually. When configuring
the settings, consider the network load carefully.
After configuring the settings in the individual setup menu and returning to the [JPEG/MPEG-4] menu, changed
items are marked with *. [Number of JPEG monitoring clients]
Select the number of users of each channel to monitor
JPEG images on the browser.
[Refresh interval of JPEG monitoring clients]
The set value for refresh interval when monitoring JPEG
images on the browser is displayed.[Number of JPEG receiving devices]
Select the number of connected devices of each chan-
nel to receive JPEG images.
[Refresh interval of JPEG receiving devices]
The set value for refresh interval that can be secured
when transmitting JPEG images to each connected
device.
Note:
When setting Refresh interval (JPEG), note the fol-
lowing.
•When OFF is selected for MPEG-4 transmis-
sion on the setup menu, the total refresh interval
of all the selected channels shall be 40 fps or
less. (When QVGA is selected for Image cap-
ture size, divide the value by four.)
(Example: When the set values are 
CH1: VGA,10 fps, 
CH2: VGA, 15 fps, 
CH3: QVGA, 30fps, 
CH4: QVGA, 30fps: 
10 (CH1) + 15 (CH2) + 30/4 (CH3) + 30/4 (CH4)
= 40 fps (Total))
•When ON is selected for MPEG-4 transmis-
sion in one or more channels, the total refresh
interval of all the selected channels shall be 15
fps or less. (When QVGA is selected for Image
capture size, divide the value by four.)
If the set values exceed these settings, the refresh
interval of each channel may be lower.
The refresh interval may also be lower depending on
the set value of Image quality, the image contents,
or the network status.
When the setting of each channel is changed indi-
vidually, it is impossible to calculate an interval to
refresh the displayed JPEG image.
