Optional Heater Unit WV-CW4H

Introduction

Installing this heater unit enables the camera to operate in a low-temperature environment below –30 °C. The heater turns on automatically when the temperature inside the camera drops below +10 °C and turns off when the temperature rises.

A small fan inside the unit will minimize condensation on the surface of the enclosure caused by changes in ambient temperature unless temperatures change too rapidly. The fan will stop when there is no possibility of condensation.

Cautions:

When using 12 V DC power supply, the optional heater unit is unavailable.

Turning the heater on and off may disturb the camera images.

When servicing, pay attention to high temperature on the surface of the heater unit. Disconnect the harness and wait until the heater unit cools.

When you install and operate the camera in a low-temperature environment below –10 °C, it may take time (around 30 minutes) for the inside of the camera to warm up. In such a case, wait around 30 minutes or more.

Installation

1.Open the enclosure.

2.Place the heater unit in the camera and fix it with the supplied screw (x1).

3.Insert the harness (x1) into the heater unit connector of the camera.

Note: Attach the desiccant pack so that it does not block ventilation holes or hang over the top of the wall.

4.Attach the enclosure.

Important: After mounting the heater unit, arrange the harness cable so as not to be tangled around the enclosure and equipment inside the camera.

WV-CW480S specifications

The Panasonic WV-CW480S is an advanced network camera specifically designed for high-performance surveillance in various environments. This camera is particularly known for its exceptional image quality and versatility, making it an ideal choice for both indoor and outdoor applications.

One of the key features of the WV-CW480S is its high-resolution imaging capability, providing 720p HD video output. This resolution allows for a clearer and more detailed view of monitored areas, enabling users to identify faces and license plates with ease. The camera employs a progressive scan CCD sensor which enhances the image quality, particularly in situations with varying light conditions.

Another standout technology in the WV-CW480S is its Wide Dynamic Range (WDR) feature. This technology helps the camera capture clear images in scenes with both bright and dark areas. It achieves this by processing multiple images taken at different exposures and combining them into a single image. This capability is crucial for effectively monitoring areas like entrances or parking lots, where lighting conditions can fluctuate dramatically.

The WV-CW480S also includes excellent low-light performance, which is aided by its integrated IR (infrared) illuminators. This allows the camera to maintain high-quality video even in complete darkness, making it effective for 24/7 surveillance. Additionally, the camera's intelligent digital noise reduction helps to enhance image clarity in low-light situations without compromising on detail.

Moreover, the camera is equipped with advanced motion detection capabilities. Users can set specific areas for motion detection, allowing for customized monitoring and reducing false alarms. This feature can be particularly useful in busy environments, ensuring that critical events are captured without unnecessary alerts.

The WV-CW480S is designed with ease of installation in mind. Its compact and robust construction allows for flexible mounting options, making it suitable for a variety of settings. Furthermore, the camera supports Power over Ethernet (PoE), simplifying wiring and reducing installation costs.

In summary, the Panasonic WV-CW480S is a powerful surveillance tool that combines high-resolution imaging, WDR technology, and excellent low-light performance. Its advanced features cater to a wide range of surveillance needs, making it a reliable choice for businesses and security professionals looking to enhance their monitoring capabilities. With its versatile design and advanced technologies, the WV-CW480S stands out in the field of security cameras.
