Confirming the Wireless LAN Setup
After setting each item for the wireless LAN, confirm that the camera works
correctly.
Unplug the Ethernet cable and turn off the power (disconnect
the AC plug).
Set the switch on the bottom of the camera to WIRELESS.
Turn on the power by connecting the AC plug to the outlet.
•
The camera switches from wired to wireless.
Start up the web browser on the PC.

Mount the camera.
You should understand the detection range of the pyroelectric infrared sensor before mounting the camera. The camera can be mounted on the wall.
Notes
• Read the Installation/Troubleshooting before mounting the camera.
• You can view the image even in 1 lx illuminance. But if you feel hard to view the image, you had better use supplemental lighting.
About Pyroelectric Infrared Sensor
(See Panasonic Network Camera support website at http://panasonic.co.jp/pcc/products/en/netwkcam/ for details about
the pyroelectric infrared sensor.)
The sensor (pyroelectric infrared sensor) detects temperature differences with the infrared rays naturally emitted by human or animal bodies. The sensor trigger can acti-
vate buffering images to the internal memory or transferring images by E-mail or FTP. The detection range is about 30 ° horizontally, about 85 ° vertically and about 5 m
distance. Since the detection range is easily affected by the environment temperature or how fast the object speed is, consider your mounting location.
The camera can make the indicator orange when the sensor detects temperature differences (see page 80 of the Operating Instructions on the Setup CD-ROM).

About Location
• If there is no temperature difference between human body and environment like in summer,
the sensor may not detect anything.
• If the object is less than about 1 m away from the camera, the camera may detect the object
outside the range.
• If the sensor is obstructed, the sensor does not detect anything. Remove the obstacle in
front of the sensor.
• The sensor may malfunction in the following areas. Avoid these locations.
Where direct sunlight In a greasy or humid
hits the object place like a kitchen
Wall Mount
Screw the 2 screws (included accessories) with the 2 washers (included accessories) into the wall, and mount the camera.
• Drive mounting screws into the wall. Be careful to avoid touching any metalwork (metal/wire laths etc.), conduits or
electrical cables buried in the wall.

Notes
• The sensor can easily detect temperature differences of objects moving side ways
within the detection range, but cannot easily detect objects moving slowly towards
the sensor. Mount the camera where the objects often pass across the detection
range (see Figure 1).
• If the lens position does not match the sensor direction, the buffered or transferred
images may not capture the object detected by the sensor (see Figure 2). We recom-
mend you to set the pan/tilt range to match the sensor direction or to restrict the user's
access level to disable the pan/tilt operation.

Caution
Do not mount the camera on a soft material. The camera
may fall and break down.
Notes
• The included screws are only for a wooden wall.
• Mount the camera on the stable location such as a
wooden column. The camera may fall and break down.
• The camera is intended for indoor use only. Do not
mount the camera outside the house.
• To correctly control the pan/tilt operation, do not incline
the camera in mounting.
• Do not mount the camera upside down. The image
