2.2 Monitor images on a mobile terminal
It is possible to connect to the unit using a mobile terminal via the Internet and monitor images (MJPEG only) from the unit on the screen of the mobile terminal. Images are refreshed automatically to display the latest image.
The compatible mobile terminals are shown as follows. (As of December, 2012)
iPad, iPhone, iPod touch (iOS 4.2.1 or later)
Android™ mobile terminals
When an Android terminal is used, an MJPEG format image is displayed by the Firefox® browser, but a JPEG format image is displayed by the standard browser.
For further information about compatible devices, refer to our website (http://security.panasonic.com/pss/security/support/info.html).
IMPORTANT
When the authentication window is displayed, enter the user name and password. The default user name and password are as follows.
User name: admin
Password: 12345
To enhance the security, change the password for the user “admin”. (→11.1 Configure the settings relating to the user authentication [User auth.])
Note
It is necessary to configure the network settings of the mobile terminal in advance to connect to the Internet and monitor images from the unit. (→Section 13 Configuring the network settings [Network])
1.
Access to “http://IP address/cam”*1 or “http://Host name registered in the DDNS server/cam”*2 using a mobile terminal.
Images from the unit will be displayed.
Live images area
Displays images from the camera.
Resolution control
The resolution can be changed by selecting a resolution setting from the buttons.
When “D1” is selected for “Picture (Camera) mode”, the resolution control buttons will not be displayed.
Picture (Camera) mode VGA [4:3]
320x240/640x480 (default)
Picture (Camera) mode VGA [16:9]
320x180/640x360 (default)
Note
You can change the image size displayed on the mobile terminal by accessing the following addresses.
Large display: http://IP address/cam/dl
Medium display: http://IP address/cam/dm
Small display: http://IP address/cam/ds
The pan/tilt/zoom/focus functions of cameras connected to the unit cannot be operated from mobile terminals.
When the resolution is changed by the resolution control, the displayed resolution changes but the image size remains the same.
When the HTTP port number is changed from “80”, enter “http://IP address: (colon) + port number/cam”*1 in the address box of the browser. When using the DDNS function, access to “http://Host name registered in the DDNS server: (colon) + port number/cam”*2.
When “HTTPS” is set in “HTTPS” - “Connection” on the [Network] tab of the “Network” page, enter the following:
“https://IP address: (colon) + port number/cam” or “https://Host name registered in the DDNS server: (colon) + port number/cam”.
When the authentication window is displayed, enter the user name of an administrator or user and password. Depending on the mobile terminal in use, password entry may be required each time the screen is switched.
Depending on the mobile terminal in use, larger size images may not be displayed. In this case, selecting “9 Low” for “Image quality setting” of “JPEG” (→8.2 Configure the settings relating to JPEG images [JPEG/H.264]) may sometimes solve this problem.
Depending on the mobile terminal in use or its contract plan, it may be impossible to access.
