Panasonic BB-HCM580A Color <br>PTZ Network Security Camera

Panasonic BB-HCM580A Live Demo

The Panasonic BB-HCM580A, which replaces the KX-HCM280A, Network Camera can be viewed and controlled from a standard Web browser, video display, or even a compatible cell phone or PDA1 and requires no additional software for the PC that you're viewing it on. All of the other required software, including control software (TCP/UDP) and e-mail software (SMTP), is already inside the camera.

Bring Any Image Right Up Close Equipped with a 42x zoom function (a 21x optical zoom and a 2x digital zoom2), 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.

CCD Sensor for Enhanced Image Expression 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 second3 for smoother displays of moving images.
