Panasonic BB-HCM705A - Overview:

The Panasonic BB-HCM705A is a discreet megapixel fixed-dome IP camera designed for home or small office use. The camera offers H.264 video compression which lowers bandwidth and storage requirements while maintaining video quality as well as on-camera storage of footage to an SD/SDHC card (not included). Power over Ethernet support also simplifies installation as data and power are combined into a single cable.

Audio listen-in is available on the BB-HCM705A allowing you to listen into events or alarms on site using the built-in microphone. Audio detection is also supported meaning that any unexpected noise can trigger recording. The camera also features image transfer on shock, meaning that if the camera is knocked or hit, image recording or transfer can be triggered.

For low-light conditions the HCM705A features Color Night View mode which amplifies video footage to improve visibility as well as Pixel Binning which combines pixel light data to provide brighter image. Like all IP cameras offered by www.networkwebcams.com, the Panasonic BB-HCM705A has a built-in web server and can be viewed over a Local Area Network (LAN), Wide Area Network (WAN) or via the Internet as a streaming IP webcam.

Please note: This camera does not come with a power supply. Should you require a Power over Ethernet midspan please select one from the options above.
