Action at an Alarm Occurrence
The alarm action will be performed when the following alarms occur.
Alarm type
Terminal alarm:When connecting an alarm device such as a sensor to the EXT I/O connector 1-3 on the rear of
the camera, the alarm action (camera action at an alarm occurrence) will be performed when the connected
alarm device is activated. Alarm action to be performed differs depending on the settings configured in the
Camera motion on alarm section of the [Alarm] tab. (page 44)
VMD alarm:When motion is detected in the set VMD area, the alarm action will be performed.
* VMD stands for Video Motion Detection.
Command alarm:When a Panasonic alarm protocol (page 53) is received from the connected device via a
network, the alarm action will be performed. 
Action at an alarm occurrence
Display the [Alarm occurrence indication] button on the Live page. (page 7)
The alarm occurrence indication button will be displayed on the Live page at an alarm occurrence. 
Important:
When Polling (30 sec) is selected for Alarm status update mode (page 20), the alarm occurrence indication
button will be refreshed in 30-second intervals. For this reason, it may take a maximum of 30 seconds until the
alarm occurrence indication button is displayed on the Live page at an alarm occurrence. 
Notify of alarm occurrences to the device connected to the alarm connector
It is possible to output signals from the alarm connector on the rear of the camera and sound the buzzer when an
alarm occurs. The settings for the alarm output can be configured in the Alarm output terminal section of the
[Alarm] tab of the Alarm setup page. 
(page 47)
Transmit an image onto a server automatically
An alarm image can be transmitted at an alarm occurrence to the server designated in advance. The settings
required to transmit an alarm image to a server can be configured in the Alarm image setup section of the [Alarm]
tab of the Alarm setup page (page 46) and the [FTP] tab of the Server setup page (page 57). 
Important:
Select FTP error for Save trigger on the [SD memory card] tab when using the SD memory card. When
Alarm input or Manual is selected for Save trigger, an alarm image will not be transmitted at an alarm occur-
rence to the FTP server.
Notify of alarm occurrences by e-mail
Alarm mail (alarm occurrence notification) can be sent at an alarm occurrence to the e-mail addresses registered in
advance. Up to 4 addresses can be registered as recipients of the alarm mail. An alarm image (still picture) can be
sent with the alarm mail as an attached file. The settings for alarm mail can be configured in the E-mail notification
setup section of the [Notification] tab of the Alarm setup page (page 52) and the [Mail] tab of the Server setup
page (page 56). 
Notify of alarm occurrences to the designated IP addresses (Panasonic alarm protocol)
This function is available only when a Panasonic device, such as the network disk recorder, is connected to the sys-
tem. When ON is selected for Panasonic alarm protocol, the connected Panasonic device will be notified that the
camera is in the alarm state. The settings for Panasonic alarm protocol can be configured in the Panasonic alarm
protocol section of the [Notification] tab of the Alarm setup page. (page 53) 
						

							12
Transmit images onto an FTP server
Images can be transmitted to an FTP server. By configuring the following settings, transmission of images captured
at an alarm occurrence or captured at a designated interval to an FTP server will become available.
Important:
• When using this function, set the user name and the password to access the FTP server to restrict users who
can log into the FTP server.
• To transmit images to the FTP server, select Not use for SD memory card, or select FTP error for Save trig-
ger on the [SD memory card] tab of the Basic setup page.
Transmit an alarm image at an alarm occurrence (Alarm image
transmission)
An alarm image can be transmitted at an alarm occurrence to the FTP server. To transmit alarm images to an FTP
server, it is necessary to configure the settings in advance. 
The settings for the FTP server can be configured on the [FTP] tab of the Server setup page. (page 57)
The alarm image transmission function can be turned on/off in the Alarm image setup section of the [Alarm] tab of
the Alarm setup page. (page 46)
Note:
Depending on the network traffic, the number of the transmitted images may not reach the set number of images
to be transmitted.
Transmit images at a designated interval or period (FTP periodic
transmission)
Images can be transmitted at a designated interval or period. To transmit images at a designated interval or period, it
is necessary to configure the settings in advance. 
The settings for the FTP server to which images are to be transmitted can be configured on the [FTP] tab of the
Server setup page. (page 57)
On the [FTP] tab of the Network setup page (page 63), the FTP periodic transmission function can be turned
on/off, and the settings relating to images to be transmitted and the settings relating to schedules (periods) can be
configured. 
Notes:
• Depending on the network line speed or the network traffic, images may not be transmitted at the exact designat-
ed interval or period. 
• When ON is selected for both the alarm image transmission function and the FTP periodic transmission func-
tion, the alarm image transmission function will be given priority over the FTP periodic transmission function. For
this reason, images may not be transmitted at the exact designated interval or period if alarms occur frequently.  
						

							13
Save images on the SD memory card when images fail to
transmit using the FTP periodic transmission function
Images that have failed to transmit using the FTP periodic transmission can be saved automatically on the SD mem-
ory card. Images saved on the SD memory card can be obtained from the [SD memory card] tab of the Basic setup
page. 
(page 22)
To use the SD memory recording function featured in Panasonic’s network disk recorder, select OFF for FTP peri-
odic transmission (page 63) and FTP error for Save trigger (page 22).
We make no guarantee for any damages of files on the SD memory card incurred by malfunction or error occurrence
in files saved in the SD memory card regardless of what the cause may be. 
Save images on the SD memory card
By configuring the following settings, saving images that have failed to transmit to the FTP server using the FTP
periodic transmission function will become available.

About the network security of the camera
Equipped security functions
The following security functions are featured in this camera.
qAccess restrictions by the host authentication and the user authentication

authentication to ON. (pages 54 and 55)
wAccess restrictions by changing the HTTP port
It is possible to prevent illegal access such as port scanning, etc. by changing the HTTP port number.
