10.Move the cursor to RET and press the CAM (SET) button to return to SET UP.

Important Notices:

•The motion detection should meet the following con- ditions.

1)The picture size on the screen should be larger than 1/48 of the actual picture size.

2)The contrast ratio between the object and the background picture should be more than 5 % at the maximum detection level.

3)The time that takes the object to move from one end of the screen to the other should be more than 0.1 second.

•Also under the following conditions, mask or adjust the detection level to prevent malfunction.

1)When leaves, curtains, etc. are swayed by the wind.

2)When a picture has a high noise content due to low light conditions.

3)When the object is illuminated by lighting equip- ment that constantly turns on and off.

•The alarm signal will take approx. 0.2 seconds to reach the alarm terminal of the VCR after the camera detects the object.

Because the alarm signal is multiplexed on the video signal, it may be mistakenly interpreted by other video equipment as a time code signal. Therefore, when this camera is not used in a Panasonic Intelligent CCTV System, select OFF to prevent the above from occurring.

●Auto Focus Setting (AF MODE)

1.Move the cursor to AF MODE, and select the follow- ing mode with the joystick. S, M and L stand for Small, Middle and Large areas respectively in the center of a scene that are used for sensing sharp- ness in auto-focusing.

The Panasonic WV-CS574 is a sophisticated surveillance camera renowned for its advanced features and versatile technologies designed to enhance security applications. This camera is particularly well-suited for both indoor and outdoor use, making it a popular choice for monitoring public spaces, commercial properties, and other critical areas.

One of the standout features of the WV-CS574 is its exquisite image quality. Equipped with a high-resolution 1/4-inch CCD sensor, the camera delivers clear and crisp images at a resolution of 480 TV lines. This ensures that even in challenging lighting conditions, the camera can maintain its performance, providing reliable surveillance footage for security personnel.

The WV-CS574 incorporates a powerful 18x optical zoom lens combined with a 12x digital zoom, allowing for detailed close-ups of objects or individuals that may be far from the camera. This flexibility is crucial for identifying faces and license plates from a considerable distance. The camera also supports automatic focus, which simplifies the process of capturing sharp images, minimizing the chances of blurry footage.

Panasonic ensures that the WV-CS574 can adapt to a variety of environmental conditions through features like automatic backlight compensation and digital noise reduction. These technologies work together to optimize the camera's performance in varying light situations, whether it’s bright sunlight or dimly lit areas.

The WV-CS574 is designed with ease of use in mind, featuring a user-friendly interface that simplifies configuration and operation. Its pan-tilt-zoom (PTZ) capabilities offer a comprehensive monitoring solution, allowing operators to remotely control the camera's movement for real-time surveillance. The camera can pan 360 degrees and tilt 90 degrees, providing extensive coverage of the monitored area.

Moreover, the Panasonic WV-CS574 is built to withstand harsh environments, with an IP66 rating for weather resistance. This makes it suitable for outdoor installations where exposure to rain, dust, and extreme temperatures is a concern.

The camera supports various video formats, ensuring compatibility with different surveillance systems. Additionally, features like alarm inputs and outputs facilitate integration with other security devices, enhancing overall monitoring capabilities. With its combination of high-quality imaging, robust design, and versatile functionality, the Panasonic WV-CS574 stands out as an exceptional choice for any surveillance needs.
