Superior surveillance performance, waterproofing and ease of installation. Introducing the WV-CW480 Series Vandal Proof Super Dynamic III Camera.
The new WV-CW480 Series, a high-end model equipped with Super Dynamic III joins Panasonic’s Vandal Proof Camera line. In addition to a Day/Night feature, the camera is equipped with a newly developed Anti-shock Auto Back Focus (ABF) ensuring crystal clear surveillance around the clock. Its robust body with waterproof properties meets the IP66 standard and is fully equipped with intelligent surveillance performance and high image quality, including 160x Dynamic Range.
Pixel Based 160x Dynamic Range
Objects on every area of the screen are reproduced faithfully by Area Free Natural Contrast Image Correction that performs pixel-based correction. Furthermore, 160x Dynamic Range is realized by shutter images of 1/50 seconds and 1/8,000 seconds. Even under changing contrast situations like time of day, weather or season, superb natural images are realized.
Horizontal resolution
Horizontal resolution is 540 TV lines in colour mode (typical), 570 TV lines in black and white mode.
Day/Night Switching
When the surrounding area becomes dark, the operating mode automatically switches from colour to black and white increasing sensitivity. In the morning, the operating mode automatically switches to colour, allowing for complete surveillance both day and night. Mode switching can also be performed manually.
Full colour images at 0.6 lux Black and white images at 0.08 lux
Minimum illumination needed is 0.6 lux in colour and 0.08 lux in B/W mode, with the standard clear dome.
Scene Change Detection
The camera sends an alarm when various acts of tampering are detected. These acts include spray painting the lens and covering the lens with a cloth.
Adaptive Digital Noise Reduction
Double processing of 2D DNR and 3D DNR reduces unwanted images such as car headlights seen in conventional 3D DNR.
Colour Processing Enhancements
By improving the reproduction of low intensity areas and subtle colours, individuals and objects are produced in natural, clear colours.
Auto Back Focus (ABF)
When switching from colour imaging to black and white imaging, the back focus automatically adjusts the position of the CCD, thus eliminating the focus shift caused by the deviation of the IR cut filter on conventional cameras. In addition, when switching back from black and white to colour mode, the CCD returns to its original position, offering true 24 hour day/night surveillance.
Auto Image Stabilizer
When trains or passing vehicles cause the camera to vibrate, images are automatically stabilized.
Video Motion Detector
When object movement is detected on screen, an alarm is transmitted. An automatic recording system can be implemented using an optional digital disk recorder.
16 Alphanumeric Characters
A maximum of 16 characters, including alphanumeric and symbols can be displayed on screen.
Auto Back Focus (ABF)
After adjusting the viewing angle, simply push the Auto Back Focus (ABF) button on the camera; or adjust via the optional system controller. The dome cover should be attached during the three minute LED timer flashing to ensure proper focus. Perfect focus and reduced installation time is achieved.
Removable Attachments
By using removable attachments, no special measures are required to protect the waterproof section, thus reducing installation labour.
Menus in Eight Languages
Menus can be selected in English, German, French, Italian, Spanish, Russian, Chinese or Japanese.
Flush Mount Type: WV-CW484F
The flush mount WV-CW484F can be neatly installed within existing junction boxes.
2x Variable Focal Lens
The standard 3.8~8.0mm 2x variable focal lens enables easy angle adjustment for optimal viewing.
Monitor output terminal
When connecting a portable LCD to the monitor output terminal, you can adjust the viewing angle while confirming the image on the spot. In addition, when connecting the monitor the camera automatically switches to ELC mode so you can accurately set the spot you want to monitor.
Three-way hinge
The camera platform inside the dome has a three-way hinge that allows horizontal, vertical and swivel rotation. In addition, an upside-down function allows images to be digitally flipped both vertically and horizontally. These flexible camera angle adjustments provide trouble-free installation.
Embedded Ceiling Installation with WV-Q166
For indoor installations where the entire camera body requires concealment, use the optional WV-Q166 bracket.
