BL-C131A

BL-C111A (Wired Type) Model BL-C131A (Wireless/Wired Type)

Main Features

On-site and remote camera monitoring

Camera images can be monitored from a PC, both on-site and over the Internet. You can even use your mobile phone to view still images when you're out of the house.

MPEG-4 and Motion JPEG (MJPEG) support

Live camera images can be viewed and recorded in both MPEG-4 and MJPEG formats, allowing you to select the video format that best suits your needs.

Built-in sensor

The camera features a built-in pyroelectric infrared sensor, which uses infrared rays to detect temperature differences within its range that are emitted naturally by people, animals, etc. The sensor can be used to trigger the camera to buffer (i.e., temporarily store) camera images in its memory. You can view these images later as desired. The sensor can also be used to trigger the camera to transfer images to someone or somewhere, by FTP, E-mail, or HTTP.

Motion detection feature

The camera's motion detection feature allows you to buffer or transfer camera images when the camera detects motion in the camera image.

Camera image recording, playback, and sharing

Camera images can be automatically buffered at specific times, when the camera's sensor is triggered, or when the camera detects motion. You can program the camera to buffer these camera images, and then you can play back these images later while accessing the camera or save them to your PC. You can also program the camera to transfer images via E-mail or upload them to an FTP or HTTP server as they are being recorded.

Digital zoom

The camera has a digital zoom feature that allows you to zoom up to 10× (by area) and get a closer look. You can use your mouse to zoom in and out simply.

Protecting your privacy

Simply press the camera's PRIVACY button to hide the lens from view and protect your privacy. You can even activate the privacy mode while away from home.

UPnP™ support

When connecting the camera to a UPnP™ compatible router, the camera's network settings can be automatically configured, making setup quick and easy. For more information, see Page 71.

Viewnetcam.com support

After registering your camera with the Viewnetcam.com service, you can access the camera while away from home using an easy to remember Internet address of your choosing, such as bob.viewnetcam.com. For more information, see Page 75.

Multi-language support

The most commonly used camera pages can be displayed in English, French, German, Italian, Spanish, Russian, Simplified Chinese, Korean, and Japanese. All camera pages can be displayed in English, Simplified Chinese, and Japanese.

Wireless connectivity (BL-C131A only)

The BL-C131A supports wireless standards IEEE 802.11b and IEEE 802.11g, giving you the option of using the camera in either wired or wireless mode. When used in wireless mode, up to 152-bit encryption ensures that access to the camera is secure.

Note

• If no camera image is displayed, ActiveX Controls may not be installed. See Page 11 or Page 12 for more information.
• The default settings for [Refresh Rate], [Resolution], and [Image Quality] that are used each time the single camera page is accessed can be changed (see Page 110).
• If the camera image is not displayed immediately or correctly, click your web browser's refresh button to display the latest camera image.
• Using the [Refresh Rate] selector in the operation bar, you can select whether video images ([MPEG-4] or [MJPEG]) are displayed, or still images that are refreshed periodically (3 seconds, 5 seconds, etc.) are displayed.
• The image refresh rate may vary depending on network conditions, PC performance, the number of people accessing the camera, and the type of objects being viewed.
• To reduce data traffic when other users are accessing the camera, you can configure the camera to automatically switch from displaying video images to still images. Set the [Video Display Time] for general users (see Page 104) and for guest users (see Page 107).
• When the camera is in a dark environment, Color Night View mode (if enabled; see Page 97) automatically brightens the image, however the image refresh rate may decrease (i.e., images may appear “choppy”) and overall image quality may decrease (i.e., images may appear grainy).
• When the camera is in a dark environment, white or colored dots or horizontal lines may be displayed in the camera image. This is a characteristic of the camera's optical sensor, and is not a malfunction.
• A gray screen is displayed instead of the camera image in the following situations:

- The camera's privacy mode (see Page 118) has been turned on.

- Too many users are accessing the camera. The camera allows up to 30 users to view video images and buffered images simultaneously. Additional users will see a gray screen, and [The maximum number of accesses has been exceeded.] will be displayed under the camera image. Click your web browser's refresh button periodically until you are allowed to view video images, or use the [Refresh Rate] selector to select to view still images.

- The camera is configured to not display images at this time of day (see Page 115). [The operation time has ended.] will be displayed under the camera image.

- BL-C131A only: If using the camera in wireless mode, camera images will stop refreshing if there is a disturbance in the wireless signal. If you experience difficulty when accessing the camera in wireless mode, refer to the 1.4 Wireless Connection Issues (BL-C131A Only) in the Troubleshooting Guide.

1.2.5 Video Images (MJPEG and MPEG-4) and Image Refresh Rate

Using the [Refresh Rate] selector in the operation bar, you can select whether video images ([MPEG-4] or [MJPEG]) are displayed, or still images that are refreshed periodically (3 seconds, 5 seconds, etc.) are displayed. You can change the default setting for [Refresh Rate] that is used each time the single camera page is accessed (see Page 110).

MJPEG

MJPEG (Motion JPEG) is a video format that displays a continuous series of still images. Because each MJPEG frame is a still image, this format offers high-quality images, but uses more bandwidth. To view images in MJPEG format, set the [Refresh Rate] selector to [MJPEG].

MPEG-4

MPEG-4 is a video format that updates images only when there is a variation in the image displayed, and as a result, requires less bandwidth. To view images in MPEG-4 format, set the [Refresh Rate] selector to [MPEG-4], then select the desired streaming format under [Streaming Method]. MPEG-4 images can be streamed using multicast, unicast, and HTTP (see Page 99).

• [Multicast] (Multicast RTP): Multicast allows you to stream the same data over the network to multiple parties, thus reducing the amount of data that is sent over the network. In order to use multicast, your router must be configured to allow multicast packets to be sent, and the camera must be configured for multicasting (see Page 99).
• [Unicast] (Unicast RTP): While no special settings are required to stream video using unicast, video is streamed to each individual user viewing MPEG-4 images, which creates more network traffic as more users access the camera.
• [HTTP] (RTP over HTTP): When streaming video using HTTP, data is sent using the commonly used TCP protocol, which means video can be viewed with fewer restrictions, as opposed to multicast and unicast, which use the UDP protocol. However, this streaming format requires more bandwidth than the other formats.

Still Images

Still images that are refreshed periodically can be displayed instead of video images by selecting the desired refresh rate. For example, selecting [3 s] will refresh the camera image once every 3 seconds.

1.2.6 Zooming

The camera has a digital zoom feature that allows you to zoom up to 10x (by area) and get a closer look. You can use your mouse to zoom in and out simply. There are 2 ways to use the zoom feature, as explained later in this section.

The zoom feature can be used when:

– Viewing video images on the single camera page
- Viewing video images from multiple cameras on the multi camera page
- Viewing buffered video images on the buffered image page

Note

• Zooming is not available for MPEG-4 images.
• Zooming is not available when viewing camera images on a mobile phone.
• The zoom magnification (×1.0–×10.0) is displayed briefly while zooming.
• As the magnification increases, image quality decreases.
• You can move the lens as normal (selecting a preset, using the navigation buttons, etc.) even when zooming.
• The digital zoom uses the ActiveX Controls installed on your PC; the lens itself does not zoom. This means that while you are looking at a zoomed image, for example, another user can be looking at the same image with no zoom.

Zooming with the scroll wheel

With the cursor placed over the camera image, rotate the scroll wheel away from you to zoom in, and rotate the scroll wheel toward you to zoom out. Note that the zoom speed depends on your mouse performance and your PC's mouse settings.

2 Using Triggers to Buffer and Transfer Images

The camera can be configured to buffer its images, i.e., save camera images temporarily in its memory. You can view these images later when accessing the camera. The camera can also be configured to transfer camera images via E-mail, FTP, or HTTP.

Before you can configure the camera to buffer images, you need to decide what method the camera will use to buffer or transfer images. Buffering methods are called “triggers”. Camera images can be buffered or transferred based on the following triggers:

- Timer

Camera images can be buffered or transferred at specific times on specific days.

- Built-in sensor (pyroelectric infrared sensor)

Camera images can be buffered or transferred when the camera's built-in sensor is triggered. The active time of the camera's sensor can also be specified.

- Motion Detection

Camera images can be buffered or triggered when the camera detects motion in the camera image. The active time of the camera's motion detection feature can also be specified.

The camera can be configured to use up to 5 triggers, which means you could, for example:

— Buffer images by timer on weekdays from 9:00 AM to 9:10 AM, and play the images back later to see how many customers come into your shop around opening time.
- Transfer images by E-mail to your mobile phone anytime the camera's built-in sensor is triggered, i.e., anytime someone comes close to the area where the camera is installed.
- Buffer images all day on weekends using the camera's motion detection feature, and play the images back later to see if employees come in to work on their days off.

Note

• When privacy mode is turned on (see Page 118), camera images are not buffered or transferred.
• The image buffering and transferring features, the built-in sensor, and the motion detection feature are not designed to be used for security or surveillance. No responsibility will be taken by our company with respect to consequences resulting from the use of these features.
• Refer to Page 148 for the camera's memory capacity for buffering images.
• If the camera is triggered and begins buffering or transferring images, it cannot be triggered again until the camera stops buffering or transferring images, as shown in the figure below.

— The camera can be triggered.
--- The camera is buffering or transferring images and cannot be triggered during this time.

1. Under [Image Setting], select the desired image format, image resolution, and image quality.

Image Setting Format JPEG Image Resolution 320x240 Image Quality Standard

• The image quality setting is not available when [MPEG-4] is selected as the image format.

• When configuring the trigger to transfer images to a mobile phone's E-mail address, set the image resolution to 192 × 144 , and set the image quality to [Favor Motion].

• Under [Image Buffer Frequency], select the desired buffer or transfer rate.

Image Buffer Frequency Enable Pre-trigger Image Buffer Every 1 s , buffer 1 images. Total 1 images. Enable Post-trigger Image Buffer Every 1 min , buffer 1 images. Total 1 images.

When [MPEG-4] is selected

To configure the camera to save video from after the camera was triggered, click [Enable Post-trigger Image Buffer] and select how many seconds of video you would like to save. This setting allows you to see camera images beginning from when the camera was triggered.

When [JPEG] is selected

To configure the camera to buffer or transfer images from before the camera was triggered, click [Enable Pre-trigger Image Buffer] and select the image buffer or transfer rate and the total number of images to be buffered or transferred. This setting allows you to see camera images leading up to the moment when the camera was triggered.

To configure the camera to buffer or transfer images from after the camera was triggered, click [Enable Post-trigger Image Buffer] and select the image buffer or transfer rate and the total number of images to be buffered or transferred. This setting allows you to see camera images beginning from when the camera was triggered.

1. Under [Sensor deactivation time setting], select the amount of time that must pass after a detection before this trigger can make another detection.

Sensor deactivation time setting Sensor deactivation time None

• If the camera is triggered often, many images will be buffered or transferred. If those images are transferred to a mobile phone by E-mail, for example, many messages will be sent and mobile phone charges may become expensive. It is therefore recommended to use this setting to help reduce the number of images that are buffered or transferred.
• Images will not be buffered or transferred during the deactivation time. As a result, pre-buffer images from the next detection may not be buffered or transferred. For example, if this parameter is set to [10 s], and if the camera is configured to buffer 1 image per second and store 10 images before detection (i.e., buffer images for 10 seconds), the camera will not buffer or transfer images if the sensor is triggered within 10 seconds of the previous trigger. Images can only be buffered or transferred 10 seconds after the previous trigger.

2. Enter the login ID ^2 (user name) required to access the server (max. 63 characters).

3. Enter the password ^2 required to access the server (max. 63 characters).

4. Select the desired setting for [Login Timing]

5. [Every Time]: The camera logs in to the server every time it transfers an image to the server.
   — [One Time]: The camera logs in to the server and stays connected for about 1 minute (unless a new transfer begins before this time expires). This can reduce transfer time when several images are transferred in a short time.

6. Enter the desired name "1" for transferred files (max. 234 characters). Transferred files will be saved using this file name.

- You can specify existing directories on the server by entering “\” before the desired file name. For example, if you enter “Cameralimages\Image”, the camera will upload files to the directory “Cameralimages” and save the files using the name “Image”.

1. Select the desired setting for [Overwrite setting].

2. [Overwrite File]: The file on the server is replaced by the file uploaded by the camera, i.e., only 1 file is saved on the server.

3. [Save as New File with Time Stamp]: A time stamp is added to the end of the file name, allowing multiple files to be saved on the server. For example, if you set the file name as "Image", an uploaded file may be saved as "Image20061231173020500".

The time stamp format is Year/Month/Date/24-hour time/Second/Millisecond.

Therefore, in this example, the file was captured on December 31, 2006, at 5:30 PM and 20 seconds and 500 milliseconds. Note that if you configure the camera to adjust its time setting for Daylight Saving Time (see Page 95), an "s" will be inserted between the date and time of the time stamp.

1. Select the transfer method required to upload files to the server.

- An IPv6 address can be entered.

- This feature cannot transfer images to web-based mail servers, such as Hotmail.

1. Enter the port number used by the server. (Port 25 is normally used for sending E-mail.)

2. Enter the reply E-mail address ^2 that will be shown to the recipient as the sender of the E-mail.

- In an effort to reduce spam, many ISPs block E-mail sent through the SMTP server from an E-mail address that is not associated with the SMTP server, therefore, we recommend entering the E-mail address assigned to you by your ISP.

1. Enter the destination E-mail address ^2 . Up to 3 addresses can be entered.

2. Enter the subject ^2 that will be displayed in E-mail messages sent by the camera (max. 44 characters).

3. Enter the text ^2 that will be displayed in the body of E-mail messages sent by the camera (max. 63 characters).

• Line breaks cannot be entered.

1. Under [How to authenticate], select the authentication method your ISP requires for sending E-mail, and enter the appropriate settings if necessary.

- [No authentication]: Select this option if the outgoing E-mail server does not require authentication when sending E-mail messages.

- [POP before SMTP authentication]: Select this option if the outgoing E-mail server requires POP before SMTP authentication when sending E-mail messages. The following settings are also necessary. Enter the settings as you would for receiving E-mail.

a. Enter the IP address or the host name ^1 of the POP3 server (incoming mail server).

- An IPv6 address can be entered.

b. Enter the port number used by the server. (Port 110 is normally used for POP3.)

c. Enter the login ID ^2 (user name) required to access the server (max. 63 characters).

d. Enter the password ^2 required to access the server (max. 63 characters).

- [SMTP authentication]: Select this option if the outgoing E-mail server requires SMTP authentication when sending E-mail messages. The following settings are also necessary. Enter the settings as you would for sending E-mail.

- The camera supports LOGIN, PLAIN, and CRAM-MD5 authentication.

1. Click [Save], then click [Go to Trigger page].

- All buffered images for the selected trigger are deleted when you click [Save].

2.5.2 Sending Trigger Notifications by HTTP

The following screen is displayed while configuring the camera to buffer or transfer images by sensor or by motion detection (see Page 30) if you select [Send HTTP Notification]. Follow the procedure below to send trigger notifications via HTTP.

Note

- If your computer network uses a proxy server, the appropriate proxy server settings must be made on the [Network (IPv4)] page in order for images to be transferred by HTTP (see Page 87).

HTTP Notification Host Name (1 to 255 Characters) Port No. 80 Login ID (0 to 63 Characters) Password (0 to 63 Characters) Upload File Name (1 to 234 Characters) Overwrite setting Overwrite File < Back Save Cancel

1. Under [HTTP Notification], enter the URL of the HTTP server (max. 255 characters).

- An IPv6 address can be entered.

1. Enter the login ID ^*1 (user name) required to access the server (max. 63 characters).

2. Enter the password ^*1 required to access the server (max. 63 characters).

3. Enter the desired name ^2 for transferred files (max. 234 characters). Transferred files will be saved using this file name.

- Entering “\” allows you to specify existing directories on the server. For example, if you enter “CameraNotifications\Notification” as the file name, the camera will upload files to the directory “CameraNotifications” and save the files using the name “Notification”.

1. Select the desired setting for [Overwrite setting].

- [Overwrite File]: The file on the server is replaced by the file uploaded by the camera, i.e., only 1 file is saved on the server.

- [Save as New File with Time Stamp]: A time stamp is added to the end of the file name, allowing multiple files to be saved on the server. For example, if you set the file name as "Notification", an uploaded file may be saved as "Notification20061231173020500".

The time stamp format is Year/Month/Date/24-hour time/Second/Millisecond.

Therefore, in this example, this notification was sent on December 31, 2006, at 5:30 PM and 20 seconds and 500 milliseconds. Note that if you configure the camera to adjust its time setting for Daylight Saving Time (see Page 95), an "s" will be inserted between the date and time of the time stamp.

1. Click [Save], then click [Go to Trigger page].

- All buffered images for the selected trigger are deleted when you click [Save].

“1” [“] cannot be entered.

Downloading images

Select the number of frames you want to download, click [Download], and specify a location on your PC to save the images. Images are saved in JPEG (.jpg) format. You view them conveniently using the Network Camera Viewer program, which you can download from the Panasonic Network Camera website (http://panasonic.co.jp/pcc/products/en/netwkcam/).

You can also download a still image by right-clicking in the image area and selecting [Save Picture As...].

Note

- The maximum number of images that can be buffered in the camera's internal memory varies on image resolution, image quality and the content of the images being buffered. At the 320 × 240 pixels resolution and the standard quality, the camera can buffer a total of about xx250 frames (see Page 148). Note that the camera's internal memory is divided between the number of triggers that are configured. For example, if 5 triggers are set, each trigger can buffer about xx50 images.

- The camera allows up to 30 users to view live video images and buffered images simultaneously. Additional users will see a gray screen.

2.7 Deleting Buffered Images

You can delete all images buffered by a specific trigger.

1. Click the [Setup] tab.

2.8 Adjusting Sensor Sensitivity

If using the camera's built-in sensor to buffer or transfer camera images, you may want to adjust the sensor's sensitivity for optimal results.

1. Click the [Setup] tab.
2. On the left side of the screen under [Buffer/Transfer], click [Sensor Sensitivity].
3. Select the desired setting.

Sensor Sensitivity ● Low ○ Middle ○ High Save Cancel

• [Low]: The sensor is less sensitive to heat variations (default).
  – [Middle]: The sensor is moderately sensitive to heat variations.
  – [High]: The sensor is more sensitive to heat variations.

• Click [Save].

2.9 Adjusting Motion Detection Sensitivity

If using the motion detection feature to buffer or transfer camera images, you may want to adjust the motion detection sensitivity for optimal results.

1. Click the [Setup] tab.
2. On the left side of the screen under [Buffer/Transfer], click [Motion Detection].
3. Observe the [Preview] area to confirm how the current settings detect motion.

• Any changes you make on this page will not be reflected in the [Preview] area until you click [Save].
- You can click on the image in the [Preview] area to use the click to center feature and aim the lens in the desired direction when confirming the current sensitivity settings.

1. If necessary, adjust the detection threshold by clicking the appropriate block.

2. If necessary, adjust the motion sensitivity by clicking the appropriate block.

3. Click [Save], and then click [Go to Motion Detection page].
4. Observe the [Preview] area to confirm how the new settings detect motion, and repeat from step 4 if necessary.

Understanding [Threshold] and [Sensitivity]

Motion detection threshold and sensitivity can be adjusted. Understanding how threshold and sensitivity interact will help you adjust the motion detection feature to suit your needs.

[Threshold]: Determines at what point the motion detection feature is triggered. A lower threshold means less motion is needed to trigger the motion detection feature. A higher threshold means more motion is needed to trigger the motion detection feature. Threshold is indicated in the [Preview] area by the light green area.

[Sensitivity]: Determines how easily the camera detects motion. Lower sensitivity means the camera is less likely to detect motion. Higher sensitivity means the camera is more likely to detect motion. Motion is indicated in the [Preview] area in dark green when it has not exceeded the detection threshold, and is indicated in dark red when it has exceeded the detection threshold.

[Preview]: Refer to this area to see how the current settings (effective after clicking [Save]) detect motion. The following examples show how [Threshold] and [Sensitivity] are represented in the [Preview] area.

Example 1

Parameter Display Meaning
[Threshold]		Low threshold (A)
[Sensitivity]		Moderate sensitivity (B)
[Preview]		Low threshold (A), no motion is detected
[Preview]		Low threshold (A), low motion (C), motion detection is not triggered
[Preview]		Low threshold (A), moderate (D), motion detection is triggered

Example 2

Parameter Display Meaning
[Threshold]		High threshold (A)
[Sensitivity]		Moderate sensitivity (B)
[Preview]		High threshold (A), no motion is detected
[Preview]		High threshold (A), moderate motion (C), motion detection is not triggered
[Preview]		High threshold (A), high motion (D), motion detection is triggered

Note

• Motion is detected by changes in the outline of objects and changes in object brightness, however, in some cases the camera may detect rapid brightness changes by artificial light sources (such as fluorescent lights) as motion.
• The camera's motion detection feature detects motion differently than the Network Camera Recorder software (sold separately).
• Motion may not be detected as desired if the object's color is similar to the color of the background.
• The motion detection feature is disabled when panning and tilting the camera lens, i.e., moving the camera lens will not trigger the motion detection feature.
• Motion detection can vary by the object, image resolution, or image quality. Refer to the [Preview] area to see how the current settings detect motion.

2.10 Sending Alarm Log Information

You can configure the camera to send a daily log by E-mail that reports the status of the sensor and motion detection triggers. This allows you to be notified by E-mail once a day and know whether or not there were any events that triggered the camera.

4 Configuring the Camera for Access from the Internet

You can configure the camera to be accessed over the Internet, allowing you to view camera images and change camera settings from anywhere—even using your mobile phone. This section explains the concepts and procedures for configuring your camera (and other network devices) to allow you to view camera images over the Internet.

Before you can configure the camera for access from the Internet, it is necessary to understand how IP addresses and Internet connections work.

Understanding local addresses

Each device connected to your computer network (PCs, router, network printers, network cameras, etc.) has an IP address. It probably looks something like this: 192.168.0.100. Each IP address on your network must be unique, as shown in the example below.

In this example, you would enter 192.168.0.253 or 192.168.0.252 in your web browser's address bar to access your cameras with your PC.

graph TD
    A["192.168.0.253"] --> C["192.168.0.1"]
    B["192.168.0.252"] --> C
    C --> D["192.168.0.2"]
    E["192.168.0.2"] --> F["192.168.0.1"]
    G["192.168.0.1"] --> H["B"]
    I["A Internet"] --> J["B Modem"]
    K["C Router"] --> L["C"]

Although each IP address on your network must be unique, the addresses are unique only to your network. In other words, your cameras and your neighbor's cameras may have the same IP addresses. In the example below, the addresses of your devices (on the left) and the addresses of your neighbor's devices (on the right) are the same, but this is not a problem because the cameras are not connected to the same network.

IP addresses that distinguish different devices on the same LAN (local area network, i.e., personal network) are called local IP addresses. The IP addresses in the examples above are local IP addresses.

So how can you access your camera when you are away from home if other people are using the same IP address as your camera?

Understanding global addresses

The answer is to access the camera by entering the unique IP address assigned to you by your Internet Service Provider (ISP). This address is called a global address, or a WAN (wide area network) address. In the example below, your global IP address is aaa.aaa.aaa.aaa and your neighbor's global IP address is zzz.zzz.zzz.zzz.

- Note that an actual IP address is made of numbers, not letters.

    end

        B5["Device 5"] --> B6["Device 6"]
        B7["Device 7"] --> B8["Device 8"]
        B9["Device 9"] --> B10["Device 10"]
    end

    B7 -.->|192.168.0.2| B8
    B8 -.->|192.168.0.2| B9

When you are away from home, you can access your router by entering aaa.aaa.aaa.aaa. But now you have another problem—you don't want to access your router, you want to access the cameras connected to your routers.

Understanding port numbers

Data is sent between devices on a network using different ports depending on what kind of data is being sent. A port is not a physical object; it is a piece of information in the data that helps the data be directed to the intended device. In the example below, the port numbers 50000 and 50001 are assigned to your cameras.

graph TD
    A["Port 50000"] -->|192.168.0.253| B["Port 50001"]
    A -->|192.168.0.252| C["Port 50001"]
    A -->|192.168.0.2| D["Computer"]
    B -->|192.168.0.1| C
    C -->|192.168.0.2| D
    E["A"] --> F["Vertical Gauge"]

By assigning unique port numbers to your cameras, you can access your cameras when you are away from home by entering aaa.aaa.aaa.aaa:50000 or aaa.aaa.aaa.aaa:50001 in the web browser of a PC. When your router receives information via its global IP address, it passes it on to one of your cameras depending on which port number you entered after the global IP address.

But how does your router know which camera to pass information to?

Understanding port forwarding

If your router supports a feature called port forwarding (sometimes it's called address translation, static IP masquerade, virtual server, port mapping, or other names, depending on the router manufacturer), the router can be set up to take information it receives on specific ports and pass it on to a specific IP address. The port forwarding settings needed for the example above would look something like this:

Port No. of Incoming Access Forwarding Destination
50000 192.168.0.253:50000
50001 192.168.0.2	52:50001

Now you may be thinking, "do I have to do this programming by myself?"

Understanding UPnP ^TM

If your router does not support a feature called UPnP ^TM (Universal Plug and Play), you will have to manually configure your router for port forwarding. Refer to the operating instructions included with your router for more information.

If your router does support UPnP ^™ , your cameras and router can communicate with each other so that the router knows which ports are used by which camera. This means you will be able to access your cameras from the Internet without having to configure your router manually.

Understanding Dynamic DNS services

There is one last problem to solve. How do you find out the global address your ISP has assigned to you? The answer is to first contact them. If your provider has assigned you a static IP address (i.e., an IP address that never changes), you can use that static address to access your cameras from the Internet as long as your router is set up for port forwarding.

But most service providers use dynamic addresses, which means your global address may change monthly, weekly, or maybe even every day. If your provider uses dynamic addresses, you will need to register with a Dynamic DNS service in order to access your camera from the Internet.

A Dynamic DNS service allows you to use an easy-to-remember address (such as joe.camera.com) to access your camera from the Internet. If you have subscribed to a Dynamic DNS service and configured your camera to use that Dynamic DNS service, your camera will notify the Dynamic DNS service each time your provider changes your global IP address. This means your Dynamic DNS service always knows your current global address, so whenever you enter your easy-to-remember address, the Dynamic DNS service automatically passes the information on to your router, and ultimately, your camera.

Example of how a Dynamic DNS service helps you access your camera over the Internet

A Internet
B ISP
C Dynamic DNS Service
D DNS Server

1. Your ISP assigns a new global IP address to your Internet access account.
2. The camera notifies your Dynamic DNS service of its new global IP address.
3. The Dynamic DNS service notifies the DNS server of your new global IP address. The DNS server updates its information so that your URL (for example, joe.camera.com) is registered to your new global IP address.
4. You try to access your camera from outside (i.e., over the Internet) by entering joe.camera.com.
5. The computer contacts the DNS server and requests the global IP address registered to joe.camera.com. The DNS server looks up the global IP address of your URL.
6. The computer receives your current global IP address from the DNS server and accesses the camera.

Summary

In order to access your camera over the Internet, you need to do the following.

1. Configure your router for port forwarding. If your router supports UPnP™, this can be done automatically. Refer to the operating instructions included with your router for information on UPnP™ support (the router's UPnP™ feature may be turned off by default) or for information on setting port forwarding.

2. If your ISP has assigned you a dynamic global IP address, register with a Dynamic DNS service. We recommend using Viewnetcam.com, a Dynamic DNS service that is designed for use with Panasonic Network Cameras. (For more information, refer to the Viewnetcam.com website at http://www.viewnetcam.com.)

3. After you have registered with a Dynamic DNS service, configure the camera to use that service.

4.1 Configuring Port Forwarding

In order to access your camera from the Internet, you will need to configure your router for port forwarding. If your router supports UPnP™ (Universal Plug and Play), the camera and router can communicate with each other and set port forwarding automatically. This can be done during initial configuration (as explained in the Setup Guide), or by following one of the procedures below.

There are two methods you can use to configure port forwarding via UPnP ^TM .

- Using the [Internet] tab (recommended)

Using this method, the camera's current port number may change. The camera will be assigned a port number that is not currently used by another device on the network. If port 80 is unavailable, the camera will be assigned the first available port number between 50000 and 50050.

To use this method, see Page 71.

- Using the [UPnP] page

Using this method, the camera's port number will not change.

To use this method, see Page 72.

Note

• If your router does not support UPnP™, you need to configure the router's port forwarding feature manually. See Page 73.
• If your router's UPnP™ feature is turned off (most routers have UPnP™ turned off by default), you need to turn it on in order to configure port forwarding automatically. Refer to the operating instructions included with your router and the Panasonic Network Camera website (http://panasonic.co.jp/pcc/products/en/netwkcam/) for more information.
• If you have a PPPoE or PPTP connection to your Internet Service Provider, disable your router's maximum idle time setting. Refer to the operating instructions included with your router for more information.
• UPnP™ features are available when using the camera in IPv4. The camera does not support UPnP™ for IPv6 connections.

4.2 Configuring the Camera to Use a Dynamic DNS Service

You can configure the camera to use Viewnetcam.com (see Page 75) or a third-party Dynamic DNS service (see Page 78).

A Dynamic DNS service is a service that allows you to assign an easy-to-remember URL (web address) to the camera, such as joe.camera.com, allowing you to access the camera from the Internet using your personalized URL. A Dynamic DNS service also allows you to easily access the camera, even when your Internet Service Provider changes your IP address, because the camera periodically contacts the Dynamic DNS service and notifies the service of its current address.

If you are interested in accessing your camera over the Internet, we recommend using a Dynamic DNS service, such as Viewnetcam.com. For more information about Viewnetcam.com, please visit http://www.viewnetcam.com for details.

10 Using IPv6

Your Panasonic Network Camera supports IPv6 (Internet Protocol Version 6). IPv6 is a next generation protocol and is expected to eventually replace IPv4, the current standard Internet protocol. As the Internet continues to expand and more and more IP-compatible devices are being introduced, the number of IP addresses supported by IPv4 is running out. While IPv4 supports just over 4 billion unique addresses, the number of addresses supported by IPv6 is virtually unlimited.

Although several Internet Service Providers (ISPs) do not support IPv6 yet, your Network Camera will be ready as IPv6 services become more widespread.

For more information regarding IPv6, visit http://www.ipv6.org/.

Note

- The following restrictions apply when using the camera in an IPv6-native network.

- Viewnetcam.com service cannot be used

12 Using the Setup Program

The Setup Program, found on the included CD-ROM, can be used to:

• Find cameras on the LAN and confirm information (IP address, firmware version, status, etc.) as needed (see Page 143).
• Configure a camera's network settings (see Page 143).
• Update a camera's firmware (see Page 144).
• Save a configuration file of a camera's settings to your PC (see Page 144).
• Restore the settings saved in a configuration file on your PC (see Page 144).

Note

• Although the above can be performed by accessing a camera directly, using the Setup Program is convenient when you want to configure several cameras because there is no need to access each camera individually with your web browser.
• When the camera is connected in IPv6 mode, the Setup Program can be used only to find and confirm cameras on the LAN (other Setup Program features are not available).
• If you are using firewall or antivirus software on your PC, the Setup Program may not be able to find any cameras on your network. If you cannot disable your firewall or antivirus software, you can find the camera by entering its MAC address. Click [Search by MAC Address], then enter the camera's MAC address. (The MAC address is printed on the camera and begins with 0080F0.)
