Main Features

Camera Image Monitoring

Simply connect the BL-WV10 to your Panasonic home network cameras (sold

separately) and to your TV, and you'll be able to view camera images conveniently

on your TV.

Wireless cameras such as the BL-C30 can be connected as well, meaning you

won't have to worry about running cables from the BL-WV10 to each camera.

Pan/Tilt Feature

Aim the camera wherever you want by simply pressing the navigator keys on the

included remote control.

Zoom Feature

When viewing images with the BL-WV10, camera images can be magnified using

the 16x digital zoom feature. If the connected camera has an optical zoom feature,

the camera's optical zoom feature can be used instead.

Sensor Alert Feature

If the connected camera features a built-in sensor or is connected to an external

sensor, the sensor can be used with the Sensor Alert feature. When the sensor is

triggered, the BL-WV10 can alert you by sounding its built-in alarm and by

displaying the image from the camera. Motion detection is also possible with

compatible cameras.

Camera Image Recording

Simply insert an optional SD memory card and you'll be able to record movies and

pictures of your camera images. Later you can use the remote control to play back

movies and view pictures on your TV that were recorded by the BL-WV10.

System Expansion

Up to 8 cameras can be connected, allowing you to keep an eye on every room

with just 1 BL-WV10.

Multi-Camera Monitoring

When multiple cameras are registered, you can view up to 4 camera images at

once and switch to monitor a specific camera if necessary.

Quick Setup

Configuration is quick and easy with the BL-WV10's Quick Setup feature–connect

your cameras to the BL-WV10 and Quick Setup will handle the rest.

Other Important Information

• This product is not designed to provide surveillance for the prevention of

burglary or theft. We cannot be held responsible in the event of such

incidents.

• If you are using a wireless router, connect the BL-WV10 to the router using

an Ethernet cable. Wireless connection to the router is not supported.

• If the camera’s color night view mode is turned on, the image refresh rate

and overall image quality may decrease. As a result, objects may not be

displayed properly. In low-light environments, images may be out of focus

when using the pan/tilt feature or when the subject is moving. We

recommend brightening the subject or disabling color night view mode.

• The detection range of the sensor becomes shorter as the environmental

temperature within the range of the sensor becomes higher.

• When a camera's motion detection feature is enabled, camera images

refresh rate may decrease by 10 to 20%. Moving objects in a dark

environment may not be detected properly.

• The cameras shown in the illustrations in this document are the BL-C10

and BL-C30. They are used as examples only.
