Save You Worries with Remote Monitoring by Panasonic Home Network Camera

Do you sometimes worry about things at home while you're at work or on vacation? Panasonic network cameras let you monitor your room over the Internet from wherever you are. They even notify you by e-mail when they detect moving objects. And you can choose the video format to match the Internet connection and your viewing needs. Let Panasonic network cameras keep an eye on things - anytime, anywhere - so you can relax and enjoy yourself.

Data Transmission / H.264 Adopted
The adoption of H.264/ACV has enabled reduction of data volume by more than 30% compared to MPEG-4 when transmitting data of the same image quality.

Alerting Yourself when Changes Occur
The camera's built-in microphone collects peripheral noise and when camera detects the noise exceeding the threshold it stores the image captured. This is a newly added function.

Colour Night View Mode^*1
When the subject darkens , the camera automatically adjusts the brightness to show you the image. You can see clear, easy - to - view images even in the dark.

^*1The image tends to blur more than that in standard mode when viewing a moving subject in low light. When viewing a dark subject in colour night view mode, spots of white or coloured light may appear in the image. Some subjects may require additional time for focusing with the auto focus function.

Full Screen Display
The monitoring image is easier to see because it fills the entire screen.

Power Supply via LAN Cable
The included Power Transfer Unit Supplies the camera the power through the LAN Cable. It allows you to install the camera anywhere, like on the ceiling where no power outlet is.
*Use a LAN cable that is no more than 30 m (98 feet 5 inches) long to connect the camera and the power transfer unit. *Use a LAN cable that is no more than 100 m (328 feet 1 inches) long to connect the camera and the router.

H.264/MPEG-4, Motion JPEG Moving Image Function
BL-C230 corresponds well to JPEG System, MPEG-4 System (which has a high image compression rate and so is suitable for monitoring any moving image) and H.264 System which is higher in image compression rate than MPEG-4 System. Through BL-C230, you can monitor any moving image properly in accordance with your purposes. Plus, simultaneous use of two different kinds of communication systems^(*1-1) is possible with BL-C230. Its image-updating speed is 30 pcs/sec at max in case of [640 x 480 dots] of H.264. Therefore, you can catch any moving target through very smooth and high-definition image monitoring by BL-C230.

^*1-1 Combination of simultaneous use of the two different communication systems is limited to [H.264 & Motion JPEG] or [MPEG-4 & Motion JPEG] only. Combination of [H.264 & MPEG-4] is not available.
^*1-2 When you use any mobile phone for monitoring a moving image, the monitoring is available through JPEG only. The Camera's Voice Function is not available in this case.

H.264/MPEG-4 Visual License
When you use more than one(1) PCs to see any moving image by H.264, you are requested to buy User License Accessory (Item No. BB-HCA8) additionally.
When you use more than one(1) PCs to see any moving image by MPEG-4, you are requested to buy User License Accessory (Item No. BB-HCA5) additionally.

3x Digital zoom function*(by area)
It's so reassuring to see your pet's happy face while you are out. A simple mouse operation is all you need to enlarge the image, using the 3x digital zoom, so you get a clear view of your pet's expression.

* * This feature is not available when viewing on a cell phone.

External Input Connector
Sensors and switches can be connected to the camera through two external Input ports.

Sound Detection Sensor When BL-C210 senses or detects any sound happening around the camera, this camera is designed to take a picture of anything relevant and temporarily save the relevant picture image

*1. Such saved picture image can be checked on the screen for temporarily-saved picture images or saved on your PC. You can also transfer the saved picture image (must be in form of JPEG) to your e-mail address, FTP Server, HTTP Server and so on.

Privacy mode
With privacy mode you can shut the camera lens and protect yourself from unwanted exposure. Operation is simple - you only need to push the privacy button

SSL Support
This system supports SSL data encrypted communications. By encrypting the network camera's image and other data for network transmission, it prevents electronic eavesdropping for greatly improved security.

Wireless Communication
Install the camera anywhere*5 with no transmission cables to connect, and enjoy high-speed communications at 2.4 GHz, 54 Mbps*6 (IEEE 802.11g) or 2.4 GHz, 11 Mbps*6 (IEEE 802.11b).

Remote Pan and Tilt Control
You can use a PC or cell phone directly to change the direction that the camera is facing while monitoring the image. This lets you monitor a large area with a single camera.

^*5 Cannot be used in bathrooms or outdoors.
^*6 The indicated speed is the maximum theoretical value of the wireless LAN specification, and does not denote the actual data transfer speed achieved by the cameras.

Multi-Camera Capability
Images from several cameras can be monitored and transceiver-type voice communication*2 can be used simultaneously

^*1 Moving pictures from up to 9 cameras can be displayed on a single screen. Still images from up to 16 cameras can be displayed.
^*2 This function can be used only with a PC. It cannot be used with a cell phone.

Cell Phone Monitoring*
Still images from the camera can be checked on any cell phone that is capable of Internet access. The pan, tilt, and zoom functions can also be operated by using the cell phone.
* Models that support JPEG only. The audio feature does not work on cell phones.
