• The Input terminal has two systems; both of them are connected to the Input Port of the IC102 GPIO.
• Due to Internal Pull-up Resistance, the PNP Transistor (Q502, Q503) on the following level is usually in the OFF state and the

Input Port connected to the collector is at L level.

• If the terminal is short-circuited with the GND or the signal of L level is input, the PNP Transistor goes ON and the Input Port

goes to H level.

• The CPU checks the state of this port regularly to detect a change in this signal.
• The Output terminal is controlled by the Output Port of the IC102. When the Port output is L, the transistor (Q504) on the follow-

ing level is OFF and, when the output is H, the transistor is ON. This transistor has open collector output and it controls external
equipment via external pull-up.

• The Clear Setting SW (SW102) is connected to the Input Port of the GPIO. It is usually at H level and goes to L level, when the

SW is pressed.

• The CPU monitors this Input Port periodically and, if it detects that this SW is pressed longer than a specified period, the setting

values other than the RTC are returned to factory settings.

• The LED (LED501) has two-color LEDs (red and green). When the transistor (Q505, Q506) connected to each LED is turned

ON/OFF via the Output Port of the IC102, it controls the ON/OFF of the LED.

• UPnP is the abbreviation for “Universal Plug and Play”.
• The Network Camera is referred to as “the camera” in this document.
• The Setup CD-ROM is referred to as “the CD-ROM” in this document.

The following is an overview of the steps required to install and setup the camera. All steps are explained in this document unless otherwise noted.

Confirm the following items are included in the camera’s packaging.
• Additional pieces can be ordered by calling 1-800-332-5368.

You will need the following additional items to install and configure the camera.
– a PC (see the system requirements in the Important Information document)
– a LAN cable (CAT-5 straight cable)
– a router

Before proceeding, confirm that your PC is connected to your router and can access the Internet. Also confirm that your router’s UPnP

™

 feature is enabled. 

(Most routers have UPnP

™

 turned off by default.) Refer to the operating instructions included with your router or to the Panasonic Network Camera website 

(http://panasonic.co.jp/pcc/products/en/netwkcam/) for more information.

Connect the camera to your PoE hub using a LAN cable (Cat-5 straight cable) as described below.

Connect the camera to your router and to the power outlet as described below.

1

Connect a LAN cable to the camera and to the PoE hub.

• Your PoE hub must be connected to the router. Refer to 

the operating instructions included with the PoE hub for 
connection instructions

• The lens will pan and tilt when the camera is turned on.

2

Connect a LAN cable to a LAN port of the PoE hub and to a 
LAN port of the router.

• Confirm that the indicator lights green after about 1 

minute. If the indicator does not light green, see 1.2 
Camera Indicator Issues in the Troubleshooting Guide on 
the CD-ROM.

• When the lens pans or tilts, a sound can be heard from 

the camera. This is normal.

• Use a 4-pair UTP/STP cable.
• Do not use a relay connector or a hub between the 

camera and the PoE hub. These devices may disturb the 
data or electricity transmission.

• If the PoE hub has indicators, the indicator lights as 

shown in the table below.

Turns on when the data is transmitted from the 
camera.

Turns on when the electricity is supplied to the 
camera.

• If the PoE hub is turned off or power supply is temporarily 

cut off by the disconnection of the LAN cable, it may take 
time for the PoE hub’s indicators to light.

• The indicator display differs depending on manufacturers, 

refer to the manuals of the PoE hub.

1

Connect the LAN cable to the camera and the 
router.

2

Connect the AC adaptor cord to the DC IN jack.

3

Connect the AC cord to the AC adaptor, then plug 
the AC cord into the power outlet.

• The lens will pan and tilt when the camera is 

turned on.

• Confirm that the indicator lights green after 

about 1 minute. If the indicator does not light 
green, see 1.2 Camera Indicator Issues in the 
Troubleshooting Guide on the CD-ROM.

• When you operate the camera, the power outlet 

should be near the camera and easily 
accessible.

• Use only specified Panasonic AC adaptor 

(Model No. BB-HCA3).

• When the lens pans or tilts, a sound can be 

heard from the camera. This is normal.

• If the indicator does not turn green, see 1.2 Camera Indicator Issues in the Troubleshooting Guide on the included CD-ROM.
