Operating Instructions
1.1.1 To Access the Camera in IPv6
You need to prepare the followings to access the camera in IPv6.
•
PC Requirements
Operating System: Windows XP Service Pack 1 or later
Web Browser: Internet Explorer 6.0 or later
An IPv6 Router
•
•
An IPv6 Connection Service
To connect in IPv6, subscribe to the ISP's "IPv4/IPv6 Dual-Stack" or "IPv6 over
IPv4 Tunneling" service. The camera does not work in IPv6-only network.
IPv6 Domain Name Service
In Windows XP, you cannot access the camera entering IP address on the web
browser. You need to enter IPv6 URL registered in the domain name service. We
recommend Viewnetcam.com service (see page 23 of the Installation/
Troubleshooting) as a domain name service. Ask your ISP about other IPv6
domain name service.
What is IPv6?
•
•
IPv6 is short for "Internet Protocol Version 6".
IPv6 was created to address the additional IP addresses that will be
needed as the Internet continues to expand.
•
•
IPv6 is expected to gradually replace IPv4, with the 2 coexisting for a
number of years during a transition period.
Though most ISPs (Internet Service Providers) do not yet support IPv6,
many local networks already use it. When your ISP supports IPv6, your
Panasonic Network Camera will be ready!
•

Operating Instructions
Setting up the IPv6 Router, your PC, and the Camera
Setting up the IPv6 Router
Set up the router as you subscribe to the IPv6 service. If the access from WAN side
is disabled on the router, enable the TCP packets from WAN side in the packet
filtering. See the Panasonic Network Camera support website at http://
panasonic.co.jp/pcc/products/en/netwkcam/ for information about the
recommended routers.
Setting up your PC
1. Click [Start] [All Programs] [Accessories] [Command Prompt].
•
Command Prompt window is displayed.
2. Enter "ipv6 install".
•
"Succeeded" is displayed.
Note
If Windows XP Service Pack 1 or later is not installed, "Succeeded" will not be
displayed. Install it on your PC.
3. Enter "ipconfig".
•
If the IPv6 address is properly assigned to your PC, IPv6 address will be
displayed on the window.
Setting up the Camera
Usually, IPv6 address is automatically assigned. If you assign a static IPv6
address, see page 45. To access the camera in IPv6, you need to subscribe to the
domain name service such as Viewnetcam.com, and register the URL.
Confirming that You Can Access the Camera
Confirm that the image is properly displayed (see page 11).

2.2 Connecting the Camera to Your IPv4 Network
The Network page offers three options to configure the camera in IPv4.

[Static] allows the user to use a specific IP address.
[DHCP] is offered for ISPs who require this option.

Each page is displayed (see page 40—page 41).
3. Enter each parameter in the proper data field.
Automatic Setup
The camera automatically obtains the network settings (subnet mask, default
gateway and DNS server address) utilizing a DHCP feature on the router. The
camera also automatically searches the unused IP address on your network.
If you select [Yes] at the Allow Access from the Internet, the camera
automatically enables port forwarding by using UPnP™. In this case, the
camera automatically searches the unused port number on your network in the
order from 50000 to 50050.

•
If you access the camera for the first time, the window to set administrator user
name and password is displayed. Make a note of the user name and password
so that you will not forget them.
•
The user name and password should be secured at your own responsibility.
Pay attention to the following points.
•
•
Set the user name and password as many characters as possible.
Change the password regularly.
IMPORTANT
It is important to limit access to the camera by use of a unique User Name and
•
a secret Password. Because the camera is accessed through the Internet it is
possible that the camera could be accessed by unknown individuals, including
those who are commonly known as "hackers," to whom you do not want to
allow access. The use of a unique User Name and a Password known only to
you will help insure that only authorized individuals are given access to the
camera. You have the option of proceeding without a User Name and
Password, but it is strongly recommended that you utilize these protections.

3.3 External I/O
The external I/O terminal can be used to connect an external input device (such as
a door sensor or motion sensor) and an external output device (such as a light).
By connecting an external sensor to the External I/O, the camera can buffer/
transfer images by alarm when there is a sensor detection (page 91). If the alarm
position has been registered (page 26), you can set the camera to aim the lens to
the alarm position when the alarm is triggered.
An external output device can be controlled by pressing the Output Control buttons
on the operation bar. The signal type sent to the device from the camera to the
external device can be set by clicking [External Output] on the Setup page
(page 106).

•
The external I/O is not capable of connecting directly to devices that
require large amounts of current. In some case, a custom interface
circuit (customer-provided) may have to be used. Serious damage to
the camera may result if a device is connected to the external I/O that
exceeds its electrical capability (see page 119).
•
The low voltage/current circuits and high voltage/current circuits are
in the camera circuit. The qualified electrician should do the wiring
not by yourself. Incorrect wiring could damage the camera. You
could receive the fatal electric shock.
