Destination of notification
[Address 1] - [Address 8]
Enter the destination IP address or host name of the Panasonic alarm protocol from the following. Up to 8 destination server addresses can be registered.
[H/W error] checkbox: When the checkbox is checked, the Panasonic alarm notification will be provided when there is damage to IR LEDs or built-in camera fan.
[USB Wifi] checkbox: When the checkbox is checked, the Panasonic alarm notification will be provided when the Wi-Fi USB adaptor is attached or removed.

Available characters: Alphanumeric characters, the colon (:), the period (.), the underscore (_), and the hyphen (-).
To delete the registered destination server address, click the [Delete] button respective to the desired destination server address.
Note
When a hardware error notification is set, a notification is provided when there is damage to the IR LEDs or built-in camera fan. If the IR LEDs or built-in camera fan are damaged images may not be able to be viewed. Therefore, we recommend setting hardware error notifications.
When a Wi-Fi USB adaptor insertion-extraction notification is set, a notification is provided when access from an unintended Wi-Fi USB adaptor is detected. Therefore, we recommend setting Wi-Fi USB adaptor insertion-extraction error notifications.
IMPORTANT
When entering the host name of the “Destination server address”, the DNS settings on the [Network] tab of the “Network” page must be configured. (→2.8.1 Configure the network settings [Network])
Confirm that the destination IP addresses are registered correctly. When a registered destination does not exist, notification may be delayed.

When the HTTP alarm function is enabled, leakage of the HTTP server authentication information (user name and password) may occur in the network at the time of HTTP alarm notification.
For “Address 1” to “Address 5”, a total of 256 characters can be entered for the address (including “http://”) and “Notification data”.
Make sure to enter a slash (/) as the first character for “Notification data”.
If the HTTP alarm notification fails, information about the failure will be added to the system log.
Even if the [Set] button is clicked after deleting the contents of “Notification data”, “/cgi-bin/comalarm.cgi?CMD=01” will be set.
HTTPS cannot be used.
When a hardware error notification is set, a notification is provided when there is damage to the IR LEDs or built-in camera fan. If the IR LEDs or built-in camera fan are damaged images may not be able to be viewed. Therefore, we recommend setting hardware error notifications.
When a Wi-Fi USB adaptor insertion-extraction notification is set, a notification is provided when access from an unintended Wi-Fi USB adaptor is detected. Therefore, we recommend setting Wi-Fi USB adaptor insertion-extraction error notifications.
<Example>
When http://192.168.0.100 is set for the address and /cgi-bin/comalarm.cgi?CMD=01 is set for “Notification data”, an HTTP alarm notification such as http://192.168.0.100/cgi-bin/comalarm.cgi?CMD=01 will be executed.
