Main Features
Dome-shaped Camera for Neat Mounting on the Ceiling
This is a dome-shaped camera with integrated mounting hardware ideal for indoor
ceiling use. Conventionally, to mount our cameras (other than the optical zoom
type
*1 ) on the ceiling, a separate dedicated stand was necessary.
The integration of the mount equipment and the neat design of the dome shape
allow you to mount the camera anywhere conveniently.
PoE *2 (Power over Ethernet) Compliant with a Power Receiving Device
Integrated
The camera is compliant with PoE (IEEE 802.3af) standards, contains a power
receiving device that enables it to receive power via an Ethernet cable, and
supports PoE
*2 . This allows you to mount the camera even if there is no power
outlet near the installation position, and saves the cost of installing a new power
outlet. In addition, since power can be supplied through a 100 m long cable from
the PoE hub, the camera can be installed in a wide range of positions. Data
transmission is also performed via the Ethernet cable, so the connection of several
cables is not necessary. This allows you to mount the camera neatly considering
the esthetic appearance of the installation position.
The power can also be supplied via an optional AC adaptor (Order No.: BB-
HCA2A) when a power outlet is situated near the installation position.
10x Digital Zoom Feature *3
The camera has a 10x digital zoom feature that allows you to increase the size of
a monitored object up to 10 times. This makes it easier to view objects that are
located far away from the camera. In addition, each user can use this digital zoom
feature. Therefore, when accessing one camera from multiple positions, each user
can view camera images with various magnifications without affecting other users.
Audio 2-way Communication *4 (Walkie-talkie Type)
2-way audio communication (Walkie-talkie Type) is available for use between the
camera and a PC that displays camera images by using an internal microphone or
a customer-provided external microphone and speaker with a built-in amplifier.
This allows you to send your voice to the camera from your PC as well as to view
camera images or listen to the sounds sent from the camera position to the PC.
*1 Optical zoom type cameras: Panasonic Network Cameras such as BB-HCM381A or BB-
HCE481A.
*2 PoE supported: PoE stands for "Power over Ethernet". To use PoE, a PoE hub is necessary.
*3 10x digital zoom feature: As the magnification increases, the image quality decreases. This
feature is not available from cell phones.
*4 Audio 2-way Communication: This feature is not available from cell phones. The Talk button
and Listen button cannot be used simultaneously. Depending on the network environment and
traffic conditions, the audio may be delayed or may break up.
