held responsible in the event that property
loss occurs while this system is in operation.
RThis product should not be used as
substitute for a medical or caregiver’s
supervision. It is the caregiver’s
responsibility to stay close enough to
handle any eventuality.
RThe system’s wireless features are subject
to interference, therefore functionality in all
situations cannot be guaranteed.
Panasonic will not be held responsible for
injury or damage to property that occurs in
the event of wireless communication error
or failure.
For your safety
To prevent severe injury and loss of life/
property, read this section carefully before

plug into the power outlet. Failure to do so
may cause electric shock and/or excessive
heat resulting in a fire.
RRegularly remove any dust, etc. from the
AC adaptor/power plug by pulling it from
the power outlet, then wiping with a dry
cloth. Accumulated dust may cause an
insulation defect from moisture, etc.
resulting in a fire.
RUnplug the product from power outlets if it
emits smoke, an abnormal smell, or makes
an unusual noise. These conditions can
cause fire or electric shock. Confirm that
smoke has stopped emitting and contact an
authorised service centre.
RUnplug from power outlets and never touch
the inside of the product if its casing has
been broken open. Danger of electric shock
exists.
RNever touch the plug with wet hands.
Danger of electric shock exists.
RDo not connect non-specified devices.
Installation
RTo prevent the risk of fire or electrical
shock, do not expose the product to rain or
any type of moisture.
RDo not place or use this product near
automatically controlled devices such as
automatic doors and fire alarms. Radio
waves emitted from this product may cause
such devices to malfunction resulting in an

TVs, radios, personal computers,
wireless devices, or other phones.
– facing away from radio frequency
transmitters, such as external antennas
of mobile phone cell stations. (Avoid
putting the hub on a bay window or near
a window.)
RIf the reception for a hub location is not
satisfactory, move the hub to another
location for better reception.

Routine care
RWipe the outer surface of the product with a
soft moist cloth.
RDo not use benzine, thinner, or any
abrasive powder.
Camera image quality
RCamera images may have the following
characteristics.
– Colours in images may differ from the
actual colours.

[Home Network] app, you can assign a name
to your devices and group them by location.
For more information, refer to the User’s
Guide (page 13).
Information about sensor
features
The camera has 3 sensor features: a visual
sensor used for motion detection, a
temperature sensor, and a sound sensor.
Please read the following information about
each sensor before deciding where to install
the camera.
Note:
RThe camera’s sensor features are not
designed to be used in situations that
require high reliability. We do not
recommend use of the sensor features in
these situations.
RPanasonic takes no responsibility for any
injury or damage caused by the use of the
camera’s sensor features.
Using visible light to detect
motion
The camera can detect motion by recognizing
changes in the brightness of areas that are
visible to the camera.

2
1
Vertical detection range: approx. 50°
2
Distance of detectable motion: up to 5 m
when motion sensitivity is set to the highest
setting using the [Home Network] app.
Note:
RMovement may be incorrectly detected
when the moving object and the
background have similar colours.
RMovement may be incorrectly detected
when there are sudden changes to the
overall brightness level, such as when
lights are turned on.
RDetection becomes difficult when the image
is dark.
RYou can adjust the sensitivity of the
camera’s motion detection feature, and
select which areas of the camera image are
monitored for motion detection. For more
information, refer to the User’s Guide
(page 13).

Temperature sensor
The sensor is triggered when the set
temperature range is exceeded.
Note:
RThe temperature sensor may not detect
temperature accurately if the camera is
exposed to warm or cool breezes from
heating/cooling systems.
RYou can adjust the temperature setting of
the temperature sensor. For more
information, refer to the User’s Guide
(page 13).
Sound sensor
The sensor is triggered when the set sound
level is exceeded.
Note:
RThe sound sensor does not function while
the camera’s lullaby feature is playing a
lullaby.
RThe sound sensor may not function as
desired when the camera is placed in noisy
environments.
RYou can adjust the sound level setting of
the sound sensor. For more information,
refer to the User’s Guide (page 13).
Information about night
vision mode
The camera features an array of infrared
LEDs that light automatically in low-light
conditions, allowing camera images to be
viewable even when the surrounding area is
dark.
Note:
RWhen night vision mode is active, the
colours in camera images may appear
different from normal.
RWhen night vision mode is active, the array
of infrared LEDs that surround the camera’s
lens light up in a faint red colour that can be
seen in the dark.
RIf the camera is installed in front of a
window and points directly at the window,
images may be poor when night vision
mode is active.
Confirming the usage area
Wireless communication range
The wireless communication range of each
device in the system from the hub is
approximately 50 m indoors and
approximately 300 m outdoors. Wireless
communication may be unreliable when the
following obstacles are located between the
hub and other devices.
9
Setup

RMetal doors or screens
RWalls containing aluminium-sheet insulation
RWalls made of concrete or corrugated iron
RDouble-pane glass windows
RMultiple walls
RWhen using each device on separate floors
or in different buildings
Note:
RThe camera’s LED indicator blinks in red if
it is out of range of the hub. In this case,
confirm all connections, including those of
the hub.
Usage area cautions
Using the camera in the following areas may
cause deformation, malfunction, or operational
failure.
RIn direct sunlight
RAreas exposed to grease or steam, such as
kitchens
RNear fire or heating devices
RNear magnetic fields (such as near
microwaves and magnets)
RAreas subject to extreme temperature
changes, such as next to air conditioners
RAreas with reflective objects, such as glass,
that can interfere with detection of
temperature variation
RAreas where the temperature is affected by
strong illuminating objects (such as
fluorescent lights)
RNear devices that emit strong radio waves,
such as mobile phones
Connections

all times. (It is normal for the adaptor to feel
warm during use.)
RThe AC adaptor should be connected to a
vertically oriented or floor-mounted AC
outlet. Do not connect the AC adaptor to a
ceiling-mounted AC outlet, as the weight of
the adaptor may cause it to become
disconnected.
Power failure
RThe camera will not work during a power
failure.

mobile device to observe where you are
in the viewable area when the camera’s
motion detection feature is triggered.
RWhen the motion detection feature is
triggered, the camera’s LED indicator
lights in red for about 3 seconds.
4Note the areas of the viewable area
where movement is detected, and make
adjustments as necessary.
Note:
RYou can adjust the area detectable by the
visual sensor. For more information, refer to
the User’s Guide (page 13).
