Action at an alarm occurrence
The alarm action (camera action at an alarm occurrence) 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	of	the	camera,	the	alarm action will be performed when the connected alarm device is activa\
ted.
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 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 9)
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 27), 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 occur\
rence.
 
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 setup" section of 
the [Alarm] tab of the "Alarm" page. (☞ Page 57)
Save images on the SD memory card
When an alarm occurs, images (JPEG/H.264) will be saved on the SD memo\
ry card. The settings to save images on 
the SD memory card can be configured on the [SD memory card] tab of the "Basic" page and the [Alarm] tab of the 
[Alarm] page. (☞ Page 60)
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" section of the [Alarm] tab of 
the "Alarm" page and the [FTP] tab of the "Server" page (☞ page 76).
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 
occurrence 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 mai\
l can be configured in the "Mail notification" 
section of the [Notification] tab of the "Alarm" page and the [Mail] tab of the "Server" page (☞ page 75).
Notify of alarm occurrences to the designated IP addresses (Panasonic alarm protocol notification)
This function is available only when a Panasonic device, such as the net\
work disk recorder, is connected to the 
system.	When	"On"	is	selected	for	"Panasonic	alarm	protocol	notification",	the	connected	Panasonic	device	will	be	
notified that the camera is in the alarm state. The settings for Panason\
ic alarm protocol can be configured in the 
Panasonic alarm protocol section of the [Notification] tab of the "Alarm" page. ( ☞ Page 68) 
						

							14
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	 trigger" on the [SD memory card] tab of the "Basic" 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" page. (☞ Page 76)
The alarm image transmission function can be turned on/off in the "Alarm image" section of the [Alarm] tab of the 
"Alarm" page. (☞ Page 60)
Note:
	 •	 Depending	on	the	network	traffic,	the	number	of	the	transmitted	images	may	not	reach	the	set	number	of	imag- es to be transmitted.
	 •	 Alarm	images	failed	to	be	transmitted	to	the	FTP	server	at	an	alarm	occurrence	will	not	be	saved	on	the	SD	 memory card. 
 
Transmit images at a designated interval or period (FTP periodic image t\
rans-
mission)
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 can be configured on the [FTP] tab of the "Server" page. (☞ Page 76)
It is possible to determine whether or not to use the FTP periodic image\
 transmission function and to configure the 
settings relating to alarm images and the schedule on the [FTP img. trans.] tab of\
 the "Network" page. ( ☞ Page 83)
Note:
	 •	 Depending	on	the	line	speed	or	the	traffic,	images	may	not	be	transmitted	at	the	designated	interval.
	 •	 When	"On"	is	
selected	for	both	the	alarm	image	transmission	function	and	the	FTP	periodic	image	transmission 	
function, the alarm image transmission function will be given priority o\
ver the FTP periodic image transmission 
function. Therefore, images may not be transmitted at the interval designated on the "FTP \
periodic image trans-
mission" setting.
  
						

							15
Save images on the SD memory card when images fail to transmit using the 
FTP periodic image transmission function
Images that have failed to transmit using the FTP periodic image transmi\
ssion can be saved automatically on the 
SD memory card. Images saved on the SD memory card can be obtained from the [SD memory card] tab of the 
"Basic" page. (☞ Page 28)
To	use	the	SD	memory	recording	function	featured	in	Panasonic’s	network	disk	recorder,	select	"Off"	for	"FTP	peri-
odic image transmission" (☞ page 83) and "FTP error" for "Save trigger" (☞ page 29).
