 The image update speed may decrease when motion-priority 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.

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.

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 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 BB-
HCM381 may require a version upgrade.

 An IP address is a unique number assigned to each user so that the user can be identified on the Internet.

*

 IPsec is an IP security protocol for data encryption standardized by IETF, an international community devoted to the standardization of Internet specifications.

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.

A total of 20 presets can be registered in addition to two 
alarm settings. This large variety of presets makes sure 
that you are able to monitor exactly what you want on 
your cell phone or PC.

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.

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.

*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.
