The Panasonic BB-HCM581A camera can be viewed and controlled from a standard Web browser, video display, or even a compatible cell phone or PDA. Each camera also comes with a free Web address, which can track the camera automatically. All you need is a regular Web browser to view them on your PC, as all of the other required software, including control software (TCP/UDP) and e-mail software (SMTP), is already inside the camera.

Equipped with a 42x zoom function (a 21x optical zoom and a 2x digital zoom), the camera lets you zoom in and out in a total of 12 steps (10-step optical zoom and 2-step digital zoom) to view objects that are close or far away.

An external microphone and amp-equipped speaker, both optional, enable two-way voice communication (transceiver system) between the network camera and a PC used to monitor the camera image. In addition to conventional monitoring of images and sound, voice messages can be transmitted from the PC to the network camera. Voice transmission and reception can be switched easily from the PC used to monitor the image.

This camera features a CCD (Charged Couple Device) for sharp, enhanced image expression. The image refreshing speed (maximum) has been increased to 30 images per second for smoother displays of moving images.

The BB-HCM581A features an SD Memory Card slot for recording images and audio captured by the network camera directly onto an SD Memory Card (sold separately).

These cameras are attached through an Ethernet connection (or router) and powered by PoE (power over ethernet). You don't need a computer at each location you want monitored. Each camera has a built-in Web server with IP address. To view the camera's images on a PC, simply open a graphics-capable Web browser and type in the cameras specified Internet address(password optional).

Using a standard Web browser, video display, or even a compatible cell phone or PDA, you can control the movement of the camera. There is 350º of Pan (left & right) movement and 120º of Tilt (up & down) movement available. You can also assign a "Home Position" that allows you to return the camera to a pre-designated shooting position. Up to eight shooting positions can be registered in advance, so you can aim the camera exactly where you want it. You can also click on the part of the image you want to see, and automatically bring that part to the center of the screen.

This network camera can stream both MPEG4 and MJPEG allowing the viewer to favor viewing the feed from the standpoint of a more clearer image or a more fluid movement from frame to frame using less bandwidth for a given frame rate.

The camera can be set to automatically record video at certain times and certain speeds. In addition, with optional, external sensors attached to the camera, it is possible for the camera to email or record when triggered by motion, sound, light, timer, or even a push button. These convenient functions eliminate your need to constantly check the image.

With the built-in motion sensor, the camera can be set to record and/or notify you by email when someone enters the room. It can even automatically move to a preset location when triggered, just in case someone was viewing a different part of the room.
