BB-HCM381
IPv4/v6 Audio 2-way Type Indoor Network Camera

Normal (1x) View

21x (optical zoom)

42x (Digital zoom)

IPv6 Ready Logo*1
42x Zoom Function Bring Any Image Right Up Close
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.
Enhanced Image Expression

CCD Sensor

The BB-HCM381 features a CCD for shape image expression.
Standard SD Memory Card Slot Image recording function

Image Refreshing Speed

The image refreshing speed (maximum) has been increased to 30 images/sec for smoother displays of moving images.
Two-Way Voice Communications
Use of the built-in microphone and a separately purchased amp-equipped speaker enables two-way voice communication (transceiver system)*2 between the network camera and a PC used to monitor the camera image. Voice transmission and reception can be switched easily from the PC used to monitor the image. For example, it allows people in a head office to provide instructions or messages to people on a sales floor while observing the image on their PC.
*The BB-HCM381 has no built-in microphone, a separately purchased external microphone must be required.

Color Night View Mode

The Color Night View Mode brings the minimum light requirement from 10 lx down to 0.09 lx, letting you capture images even in dimly lit places.
Color night view Ordinary camera view
Images captured by the network camera can be recorded directly onto an SD Memory Card (sold separately). *Voices cannot be recorded.

*The operation of SD Memory Cards not listed above cannot be guaranteed.
Multi-Camera Setup Supported
Simultaneous monitoring of images and two-way voice communication (transceiver system)* using up to four network cameras. Images from up to four camera units can be assigned as a group, and the monitor display can be switched to any of three image groups.
*Simultaneous display of still images from up to 12 camera units without audio.

Network Camera

Supporting Viewnetcam.com service
Viewnetcam.com service allows you to access the camera over the Internet with your favorite domain name (e.g. bob.viewnetcam.com) instead of a global IP address. For more information on Viewnetcam.com service, Please access www.viewnetcam.com for more information.

IPsec*4 Supported

IPsec is a technology used to encrypt data packets in order to prevent eavesdropping by third parties. When combined with a conventional authentication function based on user names and passwords, IPsec offers enhanced security.

IPv6-Ready

Our new network cameras allow the use of a virtually unlimited number of IP addresses*3 by supporting IPv6, a next-generation protocol. The IPv4/IPv6 dual-stack feature enables you to use IPv4 at the present and switch over to IPv6 in the future.
*1 This logo mark is issued by the IPv6 Ready Logo Program Committee, an IPv6 promotion group established mainly by the IPv6 Forum. *2 This function can be used with a PC only. It cannot be used with a mobile phone. To hear the voice transmitted from the PC, a commercially available speaker with a built-in amp must be installed. The transceiver system does not allow simultaneous transmission and reception of voices. The BBHCM381 may require a version upgrade. For the latest information, visit Panasonic's support Web site (http://panasonic.biz/netsys/netwkcam/support/). 3 An IP address is a unique number assigned to each user so that the user can be identified on the Internet. * 4 IPsec is an IP security protocol for data encryption standardized by IETF, an international community devoted to the standardization of Internet specifications. *
Alarm-Controlled and Timer-Controlled Image Transfer Functions
The Alarm-Controlled Image Transfer function uses a commercially available external Sensor or switch and sends the image only when there is an action such as turning on the light or opening the door. The TimerControlled Image Transfer function automatically transmits images according to the set time zone and the day of the week. These convenient functions eliminate your need to constantly check the image.
*When e-mail function is used to transfer images or messages, e-mail transmission may not be possible in some cases due to the mail server authentication system (SMTP authentication, etc.) used by your Internet service provider. *The image transfer functions can be used only with a PC. With a cell phone, only the e-mail transmission function can be used.
