This software records or plays images with audio from the camera (The camera
with audio will be released soon.) (see page 61). Since you can record images with

with audio for training employee after you record your shop scene. This software
can also record multiple cameras simultaneously.
Advanced Motion Detection Recording
Motion detection recording is improved from BB-HNP60. You can set a time (1—
60 seconds) to record before or after motion detection (see page 37). You can
check the detail condition when the motion was detected.
Advanced Timer Recording and Search Ability
You can set a keyword in timer recording (see page 58). You can manage images
by keyword. 10 settings can be set in timer recording for each camera. Additionally,
you can search images by time, recording method (such as timer recording and
motion detection recording), or keyword (see page 65).

•
If the destination folder is not selected, the recorded images are saved into the
destination folders at the destination folder where Network Camera Recorder
is installed.
•
You can change the destination folder to another folder or external hard disk
drives.
Notes
•
The folder must have more than 100 MB free capacity.
•
The level of the folder-hierarchy depth must be within 6 to prevent the system
from getting unstable.
•
The recorded images in the destination folder are displayed on the screen. If

frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the
instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications.
However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular
installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or

• Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to
which the receiver is connected.
• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject
to the following two conditions:
(1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device
must accept any interference received, including interference that may
cause undesired operation.

of hands, wrist and feet) during wireless modes of operation.
– This transmitter must not be co-located or operated in conjunction with
any other antenna or transmitter.
MEDICAL:
For BL-C131A: Consult the manufacturer of any personal medical
devices, such as pacemakers, to determine if they are adequately shielded
from external RF (radio frequency) energy. (The unit operates in the
frequency range of 2.412 GHz to 2.462 GHz, and the power output level is
0.1 watts.) Do not use the unit in health care facilities if any regulations
posted in the area instruct you not to do so. Hospitals or health care
facilities may be using equipment that could be sensitive to external RF

• IPv6 is short for “Internet Protocol Version 6”.
• IPv6 was created to provide the additional IP addresses that will be
needed as the Internet continues to expand.
• IPv6 is expected to gradually replace IPv4, with the 2 coexisting for a
number of years during a transition period.
• Though most ISPs (Internet Service Providers) do not yet support IPv6,
many local networks already use it. When your ISP supports IPv6, your
Panasonic Network Camera will be ready!
