2.2 Monitor images on a mobile terminal
It is possible to connect to the camera using a mobile terminal via the Internet and monitor images (MJPEG only) from the camera on the screen of the mobile terminal. Images are refreshed automatically to display the latest image.
The compatible mobile terminals are shown as follows. (As of February, 2013)
–
iPad, iPhone, iPod touch (iOS 4.2.1 or later)
–
Android™ mobile terminals
When an Android terminal is used, an MJPEG format image is displayed by the Firefox® browser, but a JPEG format image is displayed by the standard browser.
For further information about compatible devices, refer to our website (http://security.panasonic.com/pss/security/support/info.html).
