1 Monitor images on a PC
The following are descriptions of how to monitor images from the camera on a PC.
1.1 Monitor images from a single camera
1. Start up the web browser.
2. Enter the IP address designated using the Panasonic “IP Setting Software” in the address box of the
browser.
•Example when entering an IPv4 address: http://URL registered using IPv4 address
http://192.168.0.10/
•Example when entering an IPv6 address: http://[URL registered using IPv6 address]
http://[2001:db8::10]/
<Example of IPv4 access>
<Example of IPv6 access>
IMPORTANT
•When the HTTP port number is changed from “80”, enter “http://IP address of the camera + : (colon)
+ port number” in the address box of the browser. (Example: http://192.168.0.11:8080)
•When the PC is in a local network, configure the proxy server setting of the web browser (under
[Internet Options...] under [Tools] of the menu bar) to bypass the proxy server for the local address.
Note
•Refer to page 150 for further information about the case in which “HTTPS” is selected for
“HTTPS” - “Connection” on the [Advanced] tab of the “Network” page (®page 125).

3. Press the [Enter] key on the keyboard.
→The “Live” page will be displayed. Refer to page 14 for further information about the “Live” page.
When “On” is selected for “User auth.”, the authentication window will be displayed before displaying live
images for the user name and password entries. The default user name and password are as follows.
User name: admin
Password: 12345
IMPORTANT
•To enhance the security, change the password for the user name “admin”. It is recommended to change
this password periodically.
•When displaying multiple H.264 images on a PC, images may not be displayed depending on the
performance of the PC.
Note
•A maximum of 14 users, including users who are receiving H.264 images and users who are receiving
JPEG images, can concurrently access the camera. Depending on the set values for “Bandwidth
control(bit rate)” and “Max bit rate (per client)”, the maximum number of users that can concurrently
access the camera may be 14 or less users. If 14 users are concurrently accessing the camera, the
access limit message will be displayed for users who subsequently attempt to access the camera.
When “Multicast” is selected for “Transmission type” of “H.264”, only the first user who accessed to
monitor H.264 images will be included in the maximum number. The second and subsequent users
who are monitoring H.264 images will not be included in the maximum number.
•When “On” is selected for “H.264 transmission” (®page 72), H.264 images will be displayed. When
“Off” is selected, a JPEG image will be displayed. It is possible to display a JPEG image even when
“On” is selected for “H.264 transmission”. In this case, the refresh interval of JPEG images will be
limited to 5 fps or 1 fps.
•The refresh interval may become longer depending on a network environment, PC performance,
photographic subject, access traffic, etc.
<Refresh interval of JPEG images>
When “On” is selected for “H.264 transmission”
Becomes as follows depending on the setting for “Image capture mode”.
–“8 mega pixel [16:9](30fps mode)”: Max. 1 fps
–Other than “8 mega pixel [16:9](30fps mode)”: Max. 5 fps
When “Off” is selected for “H.264 transmission”
