HOW PANASONIC NETWORK CAMERAS WORK:
- Panasonic Network Cameras use the Internet for their
functionality
- Setting up a basic Panasonic Network Camera is
relatively easy. The cameras come with AC adapters, which you will
need to plug into a power supply. You will then connect the
camera(s) to either a router or switch via ethernet (cat 5, cat 6, etc.)
cable. Think of the cameras like little computers. Whatever
you would need to connect a computer to your network, you will need to do
the same with your cameras
- After you connect your camera(s), you could download
Panasonic's FREE software that enables you to view up to 16 cameras
simultaneously, available through PANATELDIRECT.COM
- Panasonic assigns you a web address, where you can view
your cameras from anywhere you have an Internet connection.
- PANATELDIRECT.COM is available for installation and
programming services in the New York Region, and we provide free tech
support nationwide.
OVERVIEW:The Panasonic BL-C210 is a pan/tilt network camera designed for use
in domestic locations or small businesses. Pan/tilt functionality
allows remote control of the camera's lens, allowing you to view a
greater area with a single camera. The BL-C210 also features a built-in
web server, enabling you to view a video feed from it over the internet
using any standard web browser such as Internet Explorer or Firefox.
Included Panasonic software gives you an out-of-the-box monitoring and
recording solution if you require more options for viewing and
recording. H.264 video compression will reduce the bandwidth demands
placed on your home or small business network while maintaining image
quality.
The BL-C210 has a built-in passive infrared sensor, which can detect
intruders and trigger alarms even in complete darkness. To complement
this, it also has colour night view capability, which automatically
adjusts the image in poor lighting conditions. Built-in motion and
audio detection notifies you via e-mail of any activity in the camera's
field of view and will trigger recording. A built-in microphone enables
you to hear an audio feed from the camera's environment, if required,
and the integrated speaker can sound an audible alarm. The camera also
features 3x digital zoom, allowing you to monitor specific areas in
greater detail.
The BL-C210 has a privacy button that can be pressed to close the
camera lens, preventing unwanted exposure. This can be useful in
domestic situations when the camera might only be required while the
house is empty. Two external inputs allow you to expand the camera's
capabilities for a wide variety of applications.
The BL-C210 is a Power over Ethernet camera. Both power and network
connectivity can be supplied to the camera using a single cable,
simplifying installation and reducing cost of implementation.
