Step 1

Set "WHITE BAL" to "ATW1", "ATW2" or "AWC" and press the setting button.

The fine adjustment screen appears.

Step 2

Move the cursor to "R" and "B" and use the right or left button to fine adjust the level for each.

When the level indicator moves in the "+" direction, the color becomes deeper, and when the level indicator moves in the "–" direction, the color becomes lighter.

7. Digital noise reduction function setting [DNR]

The digital noise reduction function reduces noise automatically under the condition of low illuminance. The effect level of the noise reduction function is selectable from the following:

LOW: Low level of noise reduction (small residual image).

HIGH (default): High level of noise reduction (large residual image).

8. Black-and-white mode setting [BW MODE]

The settings relating to the black-and-white mode can be configured. Follow the procedure below.

Important:

When "BW" is set for "ALARM IN", the "EXT" indication will be displayed for "BM MODE" and it is impossible to change the setting. (+ Page 23)

wv-cp500 specifications

The Panasonic WV-CP500 and WV-CP504 are advanced surveillance cameras renowned for their reliability, image quality, and versatile features. These cameras are part of Panasonic's comprehensive line of surveillance solutions, designed to meet the demands of various commercial and industrial applications.

Both models are equipped with a high-resolution 1/3-inch CCD image sensor, capable of delivering stunning video quality at resolutions up to 540 TV lines for the WV-CP500 and 480 TV lines for the WV-CP504. This high resolution ensures that users can capture clear, detailed images, making it easier to identify subjects and monitor activities in real time.

One of the standout features of the WV-CP500 and WV-CP504 is their exceptional low-light performance. The cameras possess a minimum illumination capability of just 0.5 lux, which allows for effective monitoring even in dimly lit environments. This is particularly advantageous for security applications in areas with varying light conditions, such as parking lots and retail stores.

Both models also incorporate advanced technologies such as Adaptive Black Stretch and Automatic Gain Control (AGC). Adaptive Black Stretch enhances visibility in dark areas without affecting the bright areas of an image, allowing for a more comprehensive view of the scene. AGC helps ensure that the camera maintains optimal brightness levels, enhancing the image quality in changing lighting conditions.

In terms of practical features, the WV-CP500 and WV-CP504 offer multiple lens options, allowing users to customize their surveillance setup according to specific needs. The cameras support various mounting types, including ceiling and wall installations, making them versatile enough for a wide range of settings.
