3.3 Using Remote Access Functions
Using the recording software on a separate PC, you can view the recorded images from a Panasonic Network Camera connected to a PC (remote server) registered with the recording software.
To use remote access functions, you must configure the remote server settings on the computer that will become the remote server. (→ Remote Server Settings (remote server function))
After configuring the remote server, downloading of the recording software for the remote client will automatically begin when accessing a remote server recording program from a remote client computer via Internet Explorer. (→ Accessing the Remote Server from the Remote Client)
Some operations, such as Executing Restore Program, cannot be used. (→ Functions available for remote access)
It may not be possible to connect to a remote server from proxy servers that serve as the company firewall. If you have difficulties connecting to a remote server, consult a network administrator.
You may have problems using a remote server if you access it through a proxy server. Consult a network administrator before configuring a remote server.

Note
To use as a remote server, you must assign an IP address or domain name in order to connect to this software. An IP address can be obtained from your provider.
A domain name can be obtained by registering with the Panasonic Viewnetcam.com service.
If you have already registered with Panasonic Viewnetcam.com, use the domain name obtained when you registered. For details about Viewnetcam.com, see your network camera user manual.
Remote access is compatible with connections made with IPv6 addresses.
Remote access is not supported for https connections.
