For more information, refer to the User’s
Guide (page 13). Information about sensor
fea

tures
The camera has 3 sensor features: a visual
sensor used for motion detection, a
temperature sensor, and a sound sensor.
Please read the following information about
each sensor before deciding where to install
the camera.
Note:
R The camera’s sensor features are not
designed to be used in situations that
require high reliability. We do not
recommend use of the sensor features in
these situations.
R Panasonic takes no responsibility for any
injury or damage caused by the use of the
camera’s sensor features. Using visible light to detect
mot

ion
The camera can detect motion by recognizing
changes in the brightness of areas that are
visible to the camera.  Vertical detection range: approx. 50°
 Distance of detectable motion: up to 5 m
(16
 .4 feet) when motion sensitivity is set to the
highest setting using the  [Home Network]
app.
Note:
R Movement may be incorrectly detected
when the moving object and the
background have similar colors.
R Movement may be incorrectly detected
when there are sudden changes to the
overall brightness level, such as when
lights are turned on.
R Detection becomes difficult when the image
is dark.
R You can adjust the sensitivity of the
camera’s motion detection feature, and
select which areas of the camera image are
monitored for motion detection. For more
information, refer to the User’s Guide
(page 13).

							Direction of motion
It
 
is easier to detect objects that move
sideways in front of the camera, and more
difficult to detect objects that move directly
toward the front of the camera. It is difficult to detect movement directly
to
w

ards the front of the camera. It is easy to detect movement sideways in
fr
o

nt of the camera. Detection range
Horizontal detection range: approx. 70°
Camera
Temperature sensor
Th
e

 sensor is triggered when the set
temperature range is exceeded.
Note:
R The temperature sensor may not detect
temperature accurately if the camera is
exposed to warm or cool breezes from
heating/cooling systems.
R You can adjust the temperature setting of
the temperature sensor. For more
information, refer to the User’s Guide
(page 13). Sound sensor
The

 sensor is triggered when the set sound
level is exceeded.
Note:
R The sound sensor does not function while
the camera’s lullaby feature is playing a
lullaby.
R The sound sensor may not function as
desired when the camera is placed in noisy
environments.
R You can adjust the sound level setting of
the sound sensor. For more information,
refer to the User’s Guide (page 13). Information about night
vi
s

ion mode
The camera features an array of infrared
LEDs that light automatically in low-light
conditions, allowing camera images to be
viewable even when the surrounding area is
dark.
Note:
R When night vision mode is active, the
colors in camera images may appear
different from normal.
R When night vision mode is active, the array
of infrared LEDs that surround the camera’s
lens light up in a faint red color that can be
seen in the dark.
R If the camera is installed in front of a
window and points directly at the window,
images may be poor when night vision
mode is active. Confirming the usage area
Wireless communication range
Th
e

 wireless communication range of each
device in the system from the hub is
approximately 50 m (160 feet) indoors and
approximately 300 m (1,000 feet) outdoors.
Wireless communication may be unreliable
when the following obstacles are located
between the hub and other devices.

AC adaptor connection
R
The

 AC adaptor must remain connected at
all times. (It is normal for the adaptor to feel
warm during use.)
R The AC adaptor should be connected to a
vertically oriented or floor-mounted AC
outlet. Do not connect the AC adaptor to a
ceiling-mounted AC outlet, as the weight of
the adaptor may cause it to become
disconnected. Power failure
