The BB-HCM735 features an IP55-compliant

*1

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

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

The camera features an Ex zoom that allows you to magnify images by up to 2

× and a digital zoom that allows you to further

magnify images by up to 3

×, for a total zoom range of 6×. Additionally, the ActiveX zoom feature utilises software installed on

your computer to magnify images.

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 H.264, MPEG-4 and JPEG (MJPEG) formats, allow-
ing you to select the video format that best suits your needs.

The lens can be moved to a series of pre-programmed positions (presets) in a sequence, allowing you to monitor several areas
of the camera’s viewing area. The preset sequence contains up to 10 steps; each step in the sequence is one of the presets
stored in the camera. For each step in the sequence, you can also set the pan/tilt speed and the amount of time the lens holds
at each preset position.

The camera can be set to pan back and forth repeatedly, allowing you to continuously monitor a wide area. You can select the
start and end points of the pan operation, the speed at which the lens pans, and the amount of time the lens holds at the leftmost
and rightmost edge of the viewing angle when auto panning.

When this feature is enabled, the camera can automatically correct the contrast in dark areas of the camera image. This means
even when there is backlight or a large amount of contrast 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 of 256 MB to 2 GB in capacity, and Panasonic SDHC memory cards of 4 GB to 8 GB
in capacity. Additionally, the Stand-alone SD Memory Card Recording feature allows you to configure the camera to record
images without using a PC.
