Connections
Connect the camera to your router and to the power outlet as described below.
• Before proceeding, confirm that your PC is connected to your router and can access the Internet. Also confirm that your router's UPnP
enabled. (Most routers have UPnP

After the camera's indicator turns green, you may set up the camera. Continue by following the procedure described
in the included Setup Guide.
• If the indicator does not turn green, see 1.2 POWER Indicator Issues in the Troubleshooting Guide on the included CD-ROM.
Connecting External I/O interface
The camera's external I/O interface allows you to connect a device, such as a sensor or motion detector, that can be used to trigger the camera's image
buffering and transferring features (see Section 2 Using Triggers to Buffer and Transfer Images in the Operating Instructions on the CD-ROM), as well as
the detection notification sound feature (see Section 1.2.11 Additional Features Available While Viewing Live Camera Images in the Operating Instructions
on the CD-ROM).
Terminal
External sensor input. The camera can be triggered by either an open
1
circuit or a GND short-circuit.
IN1
2 GND terminal.
External sensor input. The camera can be triggered by either an open
3
circuit or a GND short-circuit.
IN2
4 GND terminal.
External device control output. Allows you to control an external device
using the output buttons in the camera's operation bar (for example,
turning a light on or off).
• This terminal's behavior can be changed (see 7.4 Controlling the
5 External Output Terminal (BL-C230 Only) in the Operating Instructions
on the CD-ROM).
OUT
• This terminal is an open collector circuit. The maximum drawing
current is the same as terminal 6. Do not exceed the voltage of
terminal 6.
DC power output terminal.
6 • DC 8 V–10 V
• Maximum load is 100 mA.
Note
• If excessive force is used when disconnecting wires with pointed objects from
the external I/O interface, terminals may become damaged or the interface may
be pushed inside the camera body and become unusable.

outlet
AC adaptor
• When you operate the camera, the power outlet should be
near the camera and easily accessible.
• Use only specified Panasonic AC adaptor (Order No.
PQLV206Y for BL-C230A, PQLV206CEY for
BL-C230CE, and PQLV206EY for BL-C230E).
• The camera may become warm. This is normal.

*DC 8 V–10 V
Caution
• The external I/O interface is not capable of connecting directly to
devices that require large amounts of current. In some cases, a
custom interface circuit (customer-provided) may have to be used.
Serious damage to the camera may result if a device that exceeds
its electrical capability is connected to the external I/O interface.
• Low voltage/current circuits and high voltage/current circuits are
used in the camera circuit. All wiring should be performed by a
qualified electrician. Incorrect wiring could damage the camera and
cause a fatal electric shock.
• External devices connected to the camera's output terminals cannot
be controlled in the event of a network error or failure. Keep this in
mind when connecting door locks, heat-emitting devices, or other
devices that may be dangerous if they cannot be controlled.
