20.5 Configure the network settings of the camera
using the Panasonic “IP Setting Software”
It is possible to perform the network settings of the camera using the “IP Setting Software” on the provided
CD-ROM. When using multiple cameras, it is necessary to configure the network settings of each camera
independently. If the Panasonic “IP Setting Software” does not work, configure the network settings of the
camera and the PC individually on the “Network” page of the setup menu. (®page 104)
IMPORTANT
When using Windows 7 or Windows Vista, the “Windows Security Alert” window may be displayed
when starting the “IP Setting Software”. In this case, disable “User Account Control” from the control
panel.
For the security enhancement, the “Network Settings” will not be able to be performed when around
20 minutes have passed after turning on the power of the camera. (When the effective period is set to
“20min” in the IP setup.)
Panasonic “IP Setting Software” is inoperable in other subnets via the same router.
This camera cannot be displayed or set with an older version of the “IP Setting Software” (version 2.xx).
