These cameras boast a 1.3 megapixel CCD for superior image. Superior Image Equipped with a 1/3 inch 1.3 megapixel progressive scan CCD and proprietary DSP, these new cameras from Panasonic provide a superior image of 1,280x960 pixels, enhancing their identification capability. The progressive scan CCD ensures clear images with less motion blur and no tearing even when the subject is moving. ABS (Adaptive Black Stretch) increases visibility of subjects in dark areas without degrading image quality in bright areas by analysing the "illumination map/signal level distribution" and adjusting gamma correction for each area separately. A megapixel camera requires a high definition lens whose depth of focus tends to be so shallow that precise focus adjustment is required. Focus Assist function uses an on-screen display to indicate the best focus position making accurate focus adjustment simpler. With a minimum illumination of 0.9lux in B/W mode 1.5lux in colour (with clear dome for NF302), a clear surveillance image can be captured even in poorly lit, dim conditions. Total System Quality Network problems can be an issue with all IP network systems. This is why i-Pro network cameras are equipped with an SD memory card slot, so that when the network experiences a problem during the data transfer to a FTP server or a i-Pro network recorder, images can automatically be backed up into an SD memory card. When these cameras are used with i-Pro network recorders, the recorded data in the SD memory can be transferred to the recorder when the network is restored. This prevents image loss and makes it possible to playback and check images captured while the network is down. With prioritised stream control, one of the video streams can be prioritised when multiple recorders or client PCs are accessing the camera so that a recorder or a client PC can maintain the frame rate. Alarm sources including Terminal input, VMD and Panasonic alarm command can trigger actions such as SD memory recording, FTP image transfer, E-mail notification, Indication on browser, Alarm terminal output, and Panasonic protocol output. The image compression ratio can also be changed in response to an alarm, so that higher quality image can be provided as necessary. With these features, flexible alarm handling can be designed according to the application requirement. These cameras can transmit MPEG-4 or JPEG VGA (640 x 480) images at up to 30 ips, and can also transmit MPEG-4 and JPEG dual stream for simultaneous real time monitoring and high-resolution recording. User/Host authentication feature includes 3 user levels, Administrator/Camera control/ Live only for sophisticated user management, enabling to block operations from unregistered users and hosts. IEEEE8.02.3af Power over Ethernet (PoE) supplies power and transmits images over the same LAN cable, simplifying installation. Privacy zone masking for up to eight locations is also available. GUI and setup menu language is selectable from English, French, Italian, Spanish, German, Russian (PAL), English, French (NTSC), (Installation required except for English). The WV-NF302 and WV-NP304 are suitable for a wide array of surveillance applications and are the ideal addition to reinforce Panasonic's i-Pro Network Surveillance System. |
