System Requirements
Your PC and network must meet the following technical specifications in order for the camera to function properly.
*1) As of November 2006, Windows Vista will be supported in a future firmware update.
*2) What is IPv6?
・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!
