Panasonic provides advanced 24-hour outdoor surveillance technology

Product Profile

Featuring Panasonic's pioneering Super Dynamic III technology, the WV-CW960 integrates weatherproof housing, a 360-degree high-speed pan and tilt base and a 30x optical zoom lens, to bring surveillance footage to life.

With high-performance features including pixel-based 160x dynamic range, the WV-CW960 achieves unprecedented image quality. Furthermore, featuring functions such as auto image stabiliser, scene change detection and auto tracking, the intelligence of the camera ensures outstanding reliability for outdoor surveillance applications.

Super Dynamic III technology provides the WV-CW960 with enhanced image processing, delivering natural colour in its full range. Also, with the addition of the new digital colour circuitry in the DSP, colour is processed in fine detail, enabling accurate reproduction of pale or dimly lit colours. There are 540 TV lines of horizontal resolution in colour and 570 TV lines in B/W.

Rain resistant, the WV-CW960 can be installed outside under eaves, external walls and rooftops, and in other outdoor locations. A built-in sun shield is also featured to ensure it can cope equally well in sunny conditions, permitting camera locations which are in direct sunlight. Also equipped for temperature changes, the housing's built-in fan and heater allow an operating temperature range of -40c to +50c.

Alongside the host of reliable, practical features, the WV-CW960 also guarantees continuous 24-hour surveillance. When darkness falls, the camera automatically switches to B/W mode for greater sensitivity. In daylight, it automatically switches to colour mode.
