Heater Unit 
When the heater unit (sold separately) is used, the camera can be used outdoors in low-
temperature environments down to -30ºC (-22ºF). The heater automatically turns on when 
the temperature inside the camera falls below about 10ºC (50ºF), and turns off when the 
temperature inside rises. The condensation fan alleviates the problem of clouding 
(condensation) caused by temperature change in the camera dome caused. Note, however, 
that significant condensation caused by sudden temperature change cannot be completely 
alleviated.
Important
 The camera image may be influenced when the heater unit is turned on and off.
 Before installing and removing the heater unit, be sure to turn off the camera. The heater 
unit is hot while it is turned on. Disconnect the connector from the camera, and wait for 
the heater to cool down before removing it.
 When the heater unit is installed and use is started in environments of -10ºC (14ºF) or 
below, normal images may not be obtained immediately after the camera is started up. 
In this case, wait for the camera to warm up (about 2 hours or more) before turning the 
power on again.
 Use 24 V AC or POE to deliver power to a heater unit.
How to Install the Heater Unit
1Remove the enclosure from the 
camera, and install the heater unit at 
the specified location using the 
screws provided.
2Connect the heater unit cable to the 
connector on the camera body.
Important
 After installing the heater unit, pull the cable through so that it is not pinched while 
installing the enclosure. While pulling the cable through, make sure that it does not 
become entangled with the movable parts inside the camera.

Network Setup 
Installing the Software
Be sure to read the Readme file in the CD-ROM (provided) before installing the software. 
Software in CD-ROM
 Panasonic IP setup software
This software is used to make network settings on the camera. For details, refer to the 
following.
Network Camera View3
To display images on this camera, the viewer software Network Camera View3 must be 
installed. This software can be installed directly from the camera or by double clicking 
nwcv3setup.exe on the CD-ROM provided, and then following the on-screen 
instructions.
Using the Panasonic IP Setup Software to Set Up the 
Camera
Use the Panasonic IP Setup Software provided (from here on, IP setup software) to make 
network settings on the camera.
When two or more cameras are used, network settings must be made on each camera. 
When the network settings cannot be made using the IP setup software, set the cameras 
and PC individually in the Network setup page in the setup menu. (→Setup Manual)
Important
 When Windows
® XP SP2 is used, an important alert screen regarding security may be 
displayed when the IP setup software is started up. 
If this happens, click the [Unblock (U)] button.
 To enhance the security, the IP setup software no longer displays the MAC address and 
IP address of the target camera when about 20 minutes elapses since the camera was 
turned on. Note, however, that when the network settings (IP address, default gateway, 
subnet mask, HTTP port number, DHCP setting, user ID, and password) are still at their 
defaults when the camera was bought, the MAC address and IP address of the target 
camera are displayed even after about 20 minutes elapses since the camera was turned 
on.
 The IP setup software cannot be used on different subnets via a router.
