      • For monitoring of image from one camera unit: Pentium RIII (800 MHz or greater) 
      • For monitoring of images from multiple camera units: Pentium R4 (1.8 GHz or greater)
TCP/IP (HTTP, TCP, UDP, IP, DNS, ARP, 
ICMP) protocol must be installed.
                                           10/100-Mbps LAN card must be installed.

 This varies depending on the subject, image quality, network environment, PC performance, etc.

 The image update speed may decrease when favor-motion mode is set, when images are recorded onto an SD Memory Card, and when IPsec is 

used, as well as due to the network environment and PC performance.

 Transport mode (mode for IPsec communication between terminals, for IPv4 only) operating environment: Microsoft

 XP Service Pack 1 

or later only, tunnel mode (mode for IPsec between VPN routers, IPv4/IPv6)

 The number of images that can be stored varies depending on the subject.   *

 Install an amp or use a speaker with a built-in amp.

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 Timer-
Controlled 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.

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.

This provides ON/OFF operation of an externally 
connected device. For example, it can be used to turn 
on a light when the surrounding area becomes dark or 
to turn on a buzzer in case of an emergency.

Our new network cameras allow the use of a virtually 
unlimited number of IP addresses*

 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.

 This logo mark is issued by the IPv6 Ready Logo Program Committee, an IPv6 promotion group established mainly by the IPv6 Forum.

 This function can be used with a PC only. It cannot be used with a cell 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 BB-HCM371 may require a version upgrade to operate in the IPv6 environment.

 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.

*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.

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.

Simultaneous monitoring of images 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. This enables 
simultaneous display of the images from up to 12 
camera units, with no audio.
