The Panasonic BL-C121 is an affordable, easy to use IP security camera suitable for home security, small business security, baby monitoring applications or even checking in with relatives or the household pet.

Its small size and wireless connectivity (IEEE802.3b/g) makes the camera unobtrusive allowing you to install it in any home environment. Images can be viewed using a standard Internet web browser (Mac support) across the local network or via the Internet.

Advanced features include 1-way audio using the camera’s built-in microphone, a Colour Night View Mode which automatically increases the brightness of images in low-light conditions and an external I/O connector which increases the camera’s range of applications by using commercially available sensors/switches as alarm based triggers or automatic activation of external devices such as alarms or lights. Like all IP cameras offered by Network Webcams, the Panasonic BL-C121 IP security camera 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.

Panasonic BL-C121 - Key benefits:

• Small, wireless connection and stylish design allows the camera to be placed unobtrusively in any home or office environment without standing out
• With the external input connector the range of possibilities are increased when using the cameras in an IP CCTV system. Use the external input connector to connect the camera to an external trigger such as a door/window sensor or switch to trigger alarms or initiate image transfer or recording
• Affordable and easy to use, the BL-C121 is ideal for home security and suitable for computer novices and beginners to IP cameras
