Main Features
IPv6
*1
Network Camera
Your Panasonic Network Camera supports IPv6 (Internet Protocol Version 6). IPv6
was created to address the additional IP addresses that will be needed as the
Internet continues to expand. Since the camera also supports the currently used
IPv4, its "dual stack" design will seamlessly operate while IPv6 is phased in. For
more information regarding IPv6, see page 15, or visit http://www.ipv6.org/.
PoE (Power over Ethernet) Supported
*2
(For Only BB-HCE481A [PoE Type])
The camera supports PoE (Power over Ethernet), and be powered up by using an
Ethernet cable without the AC adaptor.
Audio 2-way Communication
*3
(Walkie-talkie Type)
2-way audio communication is now possible between your Network Camera and
PC. By connecting a user-supplied microphone and speaker
*4
to both the camera
and to the PC, you will be able to speak to and hear anyone within range of the
camera.
For example, the camera can be used in the following various locations:
•
In the baby's room, to hear if the baby is crying.
•
At the front door, to see and hear who is at the door.
•
In the children's play room, to see and hear if they are safe.
Note
•
PLEASE NOTE that under certain circumstances, audio/video recording may
be PROHIBITED by law. This device should be used only in compliance with all
applicable federal, state and local statutes.
This manual is for both BB-HCM381A (AC Adaptor Type) and BB-HCE481A
(PoE Type). Available features and operations are different in part depending
on the model. Read this manual carefully and use the Network Camera
properly.

To connect using IPv6, subscribe to your ISP's "IPv4/IPv6 Dual-Stack" or "IPv6 over IPv4
Tunneling" service. The camera does not function on IPv6-only networks.

audio may be delayed or may break up.

The speaker connected to the camera requires a built-in amplifier.
