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 unit + : (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

performance of the PC.
Note
•The maximum number of concurrent access user is 14 including users who is receiving H.264 images and
users who are receiving JPEG images. Depending on the set values for “Bandwidth control(bit rate)” and
“Max bit rate (per client)”, the maximum concurrent access number may be 14 or less users. When 14 users
are concurrently accessing, the access limit message will be displayed for users who subsequently attempt
to access. 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” (section 8.3 ), 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.
•The refresh interval may become longer depending on a network environment, PC performance,
photographic subject, access traffic, etc.
