I had to go into my network settings and manually set the IP: 192.168.0.3 - Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0 - Router: 192.168.0.254. NOTE: this camera does not support WPA/WPA2 Personal. I had to turn off my wireless airport and hook up the camera directly to my computer via ethernet. I had to get on the phone with panasonic support which I recommend. I put in a one star review earlier but I was wrong. Another great camera is the Axis 207W and 207MW. Then you have to go and set the wireless settings first and then change the network settings back to 10.0.0.X When you restart the camera and switch it to wireless it should work. Username PW etc.
I need the WPA2 so I am returning this camera and getting the BL-C121A which is not out yet but will work for me. Then I opened up Safari and put in the camera's IP 192.168.0.253. This does work with mac but it takes some time to set up. It only supports WEP. Then the light on the camera went solid green. Do the initial setup. Again, if your not good with this I would recommend having Panasonic walk you through it. Very easy to set up with macs but it is $400.
But i could not use the RECORDING software with my VISTA machine - i would have thought by now most companies would have their drivers compeleted for VISTA. The Panasonice BL-C20A is a smart product. Loved the easy setup and the quality of picture. Also, the camera works wirelessly only on WEP security and i use WPA. So as advanced as this camera may seem, it still has some catching up to do to get full optimal functionality.
I can not view it most of time when I am away. I am actually very disapointed in this item. As somebody already mentioned in their review, it is working well as long as it is connected, but unfortunately the connection is really not very reliable. I am not recommending this item. i think b131A is better.
It does work wirelessly, just not on Google Chrome. Amazon wont let me change the stars. I finally got through to tech support. The video is pretty decent. Happy with it overall now
Another reviewer says that the software works "flawlessly" in either Windows or Mac, but my box came with just Windows software. So disappointed. Why can't Panasonic make a version that works with a Mac.
