Preface

The network camera WV-SW458/WV-SW458M is designed to operate using a PC on a network (10BASE-T/100BASE-TX), and can be installed under eaves (sheltered outdoor).

By connecting to a network (LAN) or the Internet, images and audio from the camera can be moni- tored on a PC via a network.

Note:

•It is necessary to configure the network settings of the PC and its network environment to moni- tor images from the camera on the PC. It is also necessary to install a web browser on the PC.

Main functions

360° monitoring with a wide variety of transmission modes

With the super-wide-angle fisheye lens, 360° monitoring is possible with a single camera. The 360° camera includes a wide variety of image capture modes that perform distortion correction: Panorama, Double Panorama, Quad PTZ, Single PTZ, and Quad streams (H.264/VGA).

H.264 and JPEG triple encoding

H.264 dual stream output and JPEG output can be simultaneously provided.

*However, the image capture size of streams depends on the settings of the image capture mode.

VIQS function (Variable Image Quality on Specified area)

It is possible to provide specified areas with high quality image without changing the overall size of the data. Up to 2 areas can be specified.

* VIQS can be used when the image capture mode is Fisheye, Panorama, or Double Panorama.

SDXC/SDHC/SD memory card slot equipped

It is possible to save H.264 videos and JPEG images on the SDXC/SDHC/SD memory card manu- ally at an alarm occurrence, during the period of the schedule, or on a web browser. It is also possi- ble to save JPEG images at a network failure occurrence. (Download is possible.)

Super Dynamic

(☞ Operating Instructions (included in the CD-ROM))

Super Dynamic compensates brightness on a pixel-to-pixel basis so that it produces clearer images even if objects have various illumination intensities.
