1. Install cameras at desired locations, and pull power and Cat5 cabling as needed. Refer to the

Panasonic documentation for mounting details.

2. Connect the cameras electrically to the home network and configure the cameras. See Camera

Configuration.

3. Integrate the cameras into the OneHome system and test proper operation. This step is outlined

in HomeLogic Configuration Details.

ONFIGURATION

The camera configuration is done with software provided by Panasonic, which must be run from a

computer with Windows also connected to the same network as the camera.

The software program from Panasonic is EasyConfig.exe: the version we checked is shown at the top.

1. Cameras must be configured one at a time: If you are installing more than one camera, setup

the first one completely before powering up subsequent cameras.

2. Setup the camera within 20 minutes: Initial settings must be made within 20 minutes of the

camera being turned on. If the camera has been powered up for more than 20 minutes, cycle

power to the camera before proceeding.

password, which are required to make any other changes in the future. If you lose the user name

ONFIGURATION

To use Panasonic IP Cameras with the HomeLogic DVR tab, enter the web configuration by typing the

camera IP into the browser and logging on using your username and password. Click Setup, and then

below Buffer/Transfer click Motion Detection. Threshold is the measure of the camera’s sensitivity to

change—a lower setting will cause it pick up smaller changes. Sensitivity affects the light sensitivity—a

higher setting will result in more frequent detections of lighting changes.

Typically, the Threshold should be set to the LOWEST setting and Sensitivity should be set to the

HIGHEST.

Please see the DVR Integration Note for full details on setting up the DVR tab in HomeLogic
