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-C230 is a pan/tilt-capable IP camera designed for use by small businesses and in domestic residences. Its pan/tilt functionality allows it to cover a wider field of view than a conventional fixed camera. Alongside this, H.264 video compression reduces the network bandwidth requirements of the camera by up to 80%, a useful feature for small business and home owners where network resources can be limited.

The BL-C230 also features colour night view, which automatically adjusts the brightness of the image in poor lighting conditions. Built-in motion and audio alarms can trigger recording and notify you via e-mail of activity, and a passive infrared sensor can detect body heat from intruders even in complete darkness, offering a 24-hour detection solution.

An integrated microphone and speaker enables you to listen to the camera's environment and activate an audible warning, if required. External inputs allow you to further customize the camera for a wide variety of applications. As well as this, the BL-C230 has a privacy button, which can be pressed to close the camera lens - useful in domestic situations where surveillance is only required if the premises are empty.
