Panasonic Wireless pan/tilt MPEG-4 PetCam network camera

BLC131A (Silver)

Your new puppy is a bundle of roly poly cuteness. But when you're not there to monitor his playfulness, things could get messy. If you're coming home to puddles of piddle, it's time to purchase a PetCam. The BLC131A allows you to view your pets, even when you're not there. Spy on Spot with your cellphone, a standard web browser, or a video display. The pan, tilt, and zoom functions expand what you see at home, even if you are half way around the world.

See There When You Can't Be There&trade

Place this plug-and-play camera in your home, office, vacation home, or almost anywhere else you'd like to keep an eye on things, with no PC required at the location. The BLC131A can be viewed and controlled from a standard Web browser, video display, or even a compatible cell phone or PDA, with no additional software required. All of the other required software, including control software (TCP/UDP) and e-mail software (SMTP), is already inside the camera.

Control the Camera Remotely

Using a standard Web browser, video display, or even a compatible cell phone or PDA, you can control the movement of the BLC131A. There is Pan (left & right) movement and Tilt (up & down) movement available. You can also assign a "Home Position" that allows you to return the camera to a pre-designated shooting position. Up to eight shooting positions can be registered in advance, so you can aim the camera exactly where you want it. You can also click on the part of the image you want to see, and automatically bring that part to the center of the screen.

When You Need a Little Privacy

With the built-in Privacy mode, your privacy is protected by simply pressing a button. An indicator on the front of the BLC131A turns red, and you know at a glance that the camera is now only accessible by you. The camera can also be set up to show a green light when the camera is being accessed.

Sensor Recording

With the built-in heat sensor, the BLC131A can be set to record and/or notify you by email when someone enters the room. It can even automatically move to a preset location when triggered, just in case someone was viewing a different part of the room.

Record Only What You Want to Record

The BLC131A can be set to automatically record video at certain times and certain speeds. In addition, with optional, external sensors attached to the camera, it's possible for the camera to email or record when triggered by motion, sound, light, timer, or even a push button. These convenient functions eliminate your need to constantly check the image.

Create Your Own Free Web Address

The free Viewnetcam.com service allows you to create a personal Web address (e.g. http://vanns.viewnetcam.com) so you can view your camera's live images on the Internet. Access your BLC131A live from virtually any Internet connection point around the world! Your Web browser is the only software you'll need. Here's how the camera and service works: Special software embedded within your BLC131A gives your camera the ability to locate your unique Internet address.
