The Panasonic BL-C131 is a pan and tilt network camera suitable for home security, small business surveillance and remote monitoring applications.

With easy to use controls and automatic configuration functions, the camera produces video at a resolution of up to 640x480 pixels at a maximum speed of 30fps and can be viewed in any web browser at that size or by using the full screen mode. The Panasonic BL-C131 supports IEEE802.11b/g wireless networking and can be added to your network as a stand-alone device (wired or wireless) allowing you to place the camera in a discreet location.

• With 1 channel recording software included for free, this camera offers an all inclusive surveillance monitoring solution

Key improvements over the Panasonic BL-C30

• Simultaneous MJPEG and MPEG-4: The new MPEG-4 mode (the Panasonic BL-C30 only offered MJPEG video) allows video streaming at a full 30fps across all resolutions including VGA 640x480 giving a much smoother performance at a larger image size
