ALARM FUNCTIONS

When an alarm sounds, the camera performs output
functions depending on the setup.
Inputs:
• The alarm sensor connected to the ALARM IN ter-
minal on the camera
• The built-in VMD (Video Motion Detector) that
detects a motion in video by monitoring the speci-
fied area
Outputs:
• "Alarm" display appears in the upper right corner
of the main page.
• The picture files as an alarm sounds are stored in
the camera.
• An e-mail notifies the specified addresses of the
alarm activation with or without a picture file.
• The stored picture files are sent to the FTP server.
• The ALARM OUT terminal on the camera becomes
active.
• The notice of an alarm activation is sent to the serv-
er specified in Panasonic Protocol Setup, using the
Panasonic's original protocol.

When an Alarm Arises

• "Alarm" display appears in the upper right corner
of the main page. The alarm status display may
delay for a maximum of half a minute due to its
refresh cycle.
• The pictures as an alarm sounds are stored in the
memories of the camera.
The total storage number of the pictures depends
on three factors: pixel numbers, picture quality,
and the number of pre-alarm storage. The existing
oldest data will be replaced with new picture data
when the data volume exceeds over the memory
capacity. The tables below outline the available
picture numbers as the post-alarm storage .

• A mail can be sent to a maximum of four address-
es, with or without attached picture file.
A mail contains: the camera name, time & date of
occurrence, cause of event, and the reference
addresses to the stored pictures as follows.

URL of the picture: http//(Camera IP address)/

Notes:
• "xxxx" stands for the event number, and "00" for
the picture number.
• A picture numbered "00" will be automatically
attached to the mail.
• Enter "39" instead of "00" in the address bar if you
wish to view #40 picture.
• There may be cases where you cannot access the
images notified by the mail when new alarm activa-
tions took place after having sent the mail.
