The BB-HCM547 features an IPX4-compliant

*1

 splash-resistant body that allows the camera to be used both indoors and out-

doors. (See the Installation Guide and Mounting Guide for proper outdoor installation instructions.)

The camera features an optical zoom that allows you to magnify images by up to 2.3 × and a digital zoom that allows you to fur-
ther magnify images by up to 2 × , for a total zoom range of 4.6 × .

Camera images can be monitored from a PC, both on-site and over the Internet. You can even use your mobile phone to view
still images when you’re out of the house.

Live camera images can be viewed and buffered (i.e., stored in memory) in both MPEG-4 and JPEG (MJPEG) formats, allowing
you to select the video format that best suits your needs.

When this feature is enabled, the camera can automatically correct the brightness of the camera image. This means even when
there is backlight in the image, the camera can correct the image to provide a more consistent, natural image.

The camera features a built-in microphone that allows you to monitor the audio while viewing live camera images using your PC.
You can connect a user-supplied microphone if desired. Additionally, by connecting a user-supplied external powered speaker,
you can talk to someone while seeing their image on your PC.

The camera’s motion detection feature allows you to buffer or transfer camera images when the camera detects motion in the
camera image.

Camera images can be automatically buffered at specific times, when the camera’s external sensors (customer-provided) are
triggered, or when the camera detects motion. You can program the camera to buffer these camera images, and then you can
play back these images later while accessing the camera or save them to your PC. You can also program the camera to transfer
images by E-mail or upload them to an FTP or HTTP server as they are being buffered.

The camera is compliant with PoE (IEEE 802.3af) standards, and contains a power receiving device that enables it to receive
power from the same Ethernet cable used for network connection. This allows you to mount the camera in locations where there
is no power outlet nearby, saving you the cost of installing a new power outlet. In addition, power can be supplied to the camera
using an Ethernet cable of up to 100 m (about 328 feet) long, allowing you more freedom to install the camera wherever you
want. PoE connection requires a PoE compliant hub or similar device. An optional AC adaptor can be used instead of a PoE
connection if you want to connect the camera to a standard AC outlet.

Camera images can be recorded to an optional SD/SDHC memory card in addition to the camera’s internal memory. The cam-
era supports Panasonic SD memory cards from 64 MB to 2 GB in capacity, as well as Panasonic SDHC memory cards. Addi-
tionally, the Stand-alone SD Memory Card Recording feature allows you to configure the camera to record images without using
a PC.

When connecting the camera to a UPnP™ compatible router, the camera’s network settings can be automatically configured,
making setup quick and easy.

After registering your camera with the Viewnetcam.com service, you can access the camera while away from home using an
easy to remember Internet address of your choosing, such as ***.viewnetcam.com.

All camera pages can be displayed in English, French, German, Italian, Spanish, Russian, Simplified Chinese, and Japanese.
The most commonly used camera pages can be displayed in Korean.
