(This illustration represents BL-VT164W.) Please read the following information about the cameras built-in Body Heat Sensor (Pyroelectric infrared sensor) before deciding where to mount the camera. Refer to the Panasonic Network Camera website at http://panasonic.net/pss/security/support/info.html for further information about the built-in Body Heat Sensor. The cameras built-in Body Heat Sensor is a pyroelectric infrared sensor, which means it uses infrared rays to detect temperature differences within its range that are emitted naturally by people, animals, etc. The sensor can be used to trigger the camera to buffer (i.e., temporarily store) camera images in its memory. You can view these images later as desired. The sensor can also be used to trigger the camera to transfer images to someone or somewhere, by FTP, E-mail, or HTTP. Because the detection range is easily affected by the temperature of the surrounding environment or how fast the objects in front of the camera are moving, you should take the following into con-

sideration when deciding where to mount the camera. 1 The sensors active detection range is about 5 m {3/16 inches} in front of the camera, about 28 horizontally, and about 71 vertically, when the camera is in a 20 C (68 F) environment. About 5 m

{3/16 inches}

About 28 About 5 m

{3/16 inches}

About 71 Top View Side View 2 If an object is within about 1 m {1/32 inches} of the camera, the sensor may detect the object even if it is outside of the sensors range. cameras sensor and the surrounding environment, such as on a hot summer day, the sensor may not be able to detect properly. 3 If there is no temperature difference between objects in range of the 4 If the sensor is obstructed, the sensor is not able to make detections. 5 As shown in the illustration below, the sensor can easily detect temperature differences of objects moving sideways within the detection range, but cannot easily detect objects moving slowly towards the sensor. Mount the camera where objects often pass the camera from the sides. Remove any obstacles in front of the sensor. Easy to detect Easy to detect Difficult to detect

(The detection range may be reduced) 6 If the lens is aimed at an area outside of the sensors active detection range, the objects that trigger the sensor may not be visible, and therefore buffered or transferred images may not show the object that triggered the sensor. In the example below, the person has triggered the sensor, but the person is not in the visible range of the camera. We recommend that you limit the pan and tilt range of the camera to the active detec-

tion range of the sensor, or that you limit other users access to the pan and tilt features. External I/O terminals Connect external devices to the EXT I/O terminal. When connecting an external device, remove 9 mm - 10 mm

{11/32 inches - 13/32 inches} of the outer jacket of the cable and twist the cable core to prevent the short circuit first. Specification of cable (wire): 22 AWG - 28 AWG Single core, twisted Approx. 9 mm - 10 mm

{11/32 inches - 13/32 inches}

IMPORTANT Do not connect 2 wires or more directly to a terminal. When it is necessary to connect 2 or more wires, use a splitter. Input and output of the external I/O terminal 2 and 3 can be switched by configuring the setting. The default of EXT I/O terminal 2 is "ALARM IN 2" and of EXT I/O terminal 3 is

"ALARM IN 3". It is possible to determine whether or not to receive input from EXT I/O terminal 2 and 3 (ALARM IN2, 3) by selecting "Off", "Alarm input", "Alarm output" or "AUX output" for "Terminal alarm 2" or "Terminal alarm 3" on the [Alarm] tab on the "Alarm setup"

page. Refer to the Operating Instructions (included in the CD-ROM) for further information. The default of EXT I/O terminals is "Off". When "Off" is selected, it is possible to connect external devices as well as the input setting. When using the EXT I/O terminals as the output terminals, ensure they do not cause signal collision with external signals.

See Configure the basic settings [Basic] in the Operating Instructions (included in the CD-ROM), and configure the camera to light the POWER indicator in orange when the sensor makes a detection. You can then adjust the sensitivity of the sensor (see Configure the settings relating to the alarm action [Alarm] in the Operating Instructions (included in the CD-ROM)) or change the cameras location if necessary. Note that if you increase the sensitivity of the sensor, the sensor may make inaccurate detections. Note If you are not satisfied with the sensors ability to make detections, we recommend using the cameras motion detection feature. This feature detects motion by detecting changes in the camera image. For more information, see Configure the VMD settings [VMD area] in the Operating Instructions (included in the CD-ROM). The built-in sensor and the motion detection feature are not designed to be used for securi-

ty or surveillance. No responsibility will be taken by our company with respect to conse-

quences resulting from the use of these features. When using a wireless connection, con-

figure the wireless settings for the cam-

era and the wireless router before install-

ing the camera. Confirm in advance that the camera can connect with the wireless router from its installed place. Refer to 3 Connections for further information.

(This illustration represents BL-VT164W.) Determining how to mount the camera

(This illustration represents BL-VT164W.) Installing the camera on the wall Make sure the flexible stand is firmly mounted on a beam of wood (25 mm

{31/32 inches} and greater) etc. When there is no beam, apply a board on the other side of the wall to make sure the camera does not drop. At least 25 mm {31/32 inches}

Beam of wood When mounting on a mortar or concrete surface Prepare anchors for 4 mm {5/32 inches} diameter screws for mounting. Mortar walls break easily when drilling. Be careful of pieces of mortar which may become loose and fall. 1. Place the flexible stand on the wall where you plan to mount the flexible stand and mark the points where you are going to make holes. 2. Make holes with an electric drill. Insert anchors (locally procured) into the holes and push them inside the holes with a hammer. 3. Mount the flexible stand using the screws. Drill for concrete (in case of tile, use a drill for tile) Tripod Mount Do not use a tripod screw with a thread of 6 mm {1/4 inches} or more. This may damage the tripod mounting hole. The camera cannot be mounted depending on the shape of the camera platform.

* When the camera is installed to a tripod mount, because the center of gravity is moved forward, the tripod may fall over. About the [INITIAL SET] button After turning off the power of the camera, turn on the power of the camera while holding down this button, and wait for around 5 seconds or more without releasing this button. Wait around 3 minutes after releasing the button. The camera will start up and the settings including the network settings will be initialized. Before initializing the settings, it is recommended to write down the settings in advance. The initialization will be complete when the POWER indicator stops blinking orange and lights off. Note that the preset position settings and the CRT key

(SSL encryption key) used for the HTTPS protocol will not be initialized. IMPORTANT Do not turn off the power of the camera during the process of initialization. Otherwise, it may fail to initialize and may cause malfunction. About the [PRIVACY] button Privacy mode allows you to protect your privacy by hiding the lens inside the camera, prevent-

ing camera images from being seen. You can turn privacy mode on by pressing the PRIVACY button on the front of the camera. When privacy mode is turned on, the PRIVACY button (which also serves as the cameras POWER indicator) changes from green to red to let you know that privacy mode is activated. To turn privacy mode off and allow the camera to be accessed, simply press the PRIVACY button again. It should turn green within a few seconds. If users are accessing the camera when privacy mode is turned on, the camera image area displayed in their web browsers turns into a black image display. No camera pages can be accessed by users while privacy mode is turned on. Once privacy mode is turned off, users can press the refresh button in their web browsers to view images again. The cameras administrator can also turn privacy mode on and off using a PC or a mobile phone, and the PRIVACY button itself can be disabled so that privacy mode cannot be turned on or off by pressing the PRIVACY button. For more information about privacy mode, see Privacy Mode in the Operating Instructions

(included in the CD-ROM). Note If you plan on using the PRIVACY button to turn privacy mode on and off, make sure you mount the camera where you can reach the button.
