MPEG-4 setup

Click the [JPEG/MPEG-4] tab on the "Camera setup" page. (pages 4 and 5: How to display/operate the setup menu)

Configure the settings relating to MPEG-4 image such as "Max bit rate (per 1 client)", "Image capture size", "Image quality", etc. in this section. Refer to page 20 for further information about the settings relating to JPEG images. Refer to page 76 for how to configure settings to transmit MPEG-4 images via the Internet.

[MPEG-4 transmission]

Select "ON" or "OFF" to determine whether or not to transmit MPEG-4 images.

ON: Transmits MPEG-4 images.

OFF: Does not transmit MPEG-4 images.

Default: ON

Note:

When "ON" is selected for "MPEG-4" transmission, displaying of MPEG-4 images or JPEG images will be available. However, the refresh interval (JPEG) may be longer than the set value when displaying JPEG images.

[Max bit rate (per 1 client)*]

Select a MPEG-4 bit rate per a client from the following. (Constant bit rate) 64 kbps/128 kbps */256 kbps */ 512 kbps */1024 kbps */1536 kbps */2048 kbps */ 3072 kbps */4096 kbps */(frame rate priority)

4096 kbps */unlimited * Default: 2048 kbps*

Note:

The MPEG-4 bit rate is synchronized with "Total bit rate" on the [Network] tab of "Network setup" page (page 54). For this reason, the bit rate may be lower than the value when any value with an asterisk

(*) on the right is selected.

[Image capture size]

Select "QVGA" or "VGA" for the image capture size of MPEG-4 images.

Default: VGA

[Image quality]

Select the image quality of MPEG-4 images from the following.

Fine/Normal/Low

Default: Normal

Note:

This item is disabled when "(frame rate prioritized) 4096 kbps *" or "unlimited *" is selected for a bit rate per a client.

[Refresh interval (MPEG-4)]

Select an interval (I-frame interval; 1 - 5 seconds) to refresh the displayed MPEG-4 images.

If using under a network environment with frequent error occurrences, shorten the refresh interval for MPEG-4 to diminish image distortions. However, the refresh interval may be longer than the set value.

0.2sec/0.33 sec/0.5 sec/1 sec/2 sec/3 sec/4 sec/5 sec Default: 3 sec

[Transmission type]

Select a MPEG-4 transmission type from the following. Unicast port (AUTO): Up to 8 users can access a sin- gle camera concurrently. "Unicast port1 (Image)"

and "Unicast port2 (Audio)" will automatically be selected when transmitting images and audio from the camera.

WV-NW964, WV-NS954 specifications

The Panasonic WV-NW964 and WV-NS954 are advanced network cameras designed for high-performance surveillance in various applications. Both models offer a remarkable combination of features, technologies, and characteristics that make them ideal for security monitoring in both indoor and outdoor environments.

The WV-NW964 is a high-definition network camera equipped with a 1/3-inch progressive scan CCD sensor, delivering exceptional image quality with resolutions up to 1280x960 pixels. It is particularly well-suited for situations where clarity and detail are paramount, such as in retail spaces or critical infrastructure facilities. The camera supports H.264 compression technology, which allows for efficient video streaming while maintaining high image quality. This feature is particularly useful for reducing bandwidth requirements and storage costs without compromising surveillance effectiveness.

On the other hand, the WV-NS954 is a PTZ (pan-tilt-zoom) network camera that provides extensive flexibility in monitoring wide areas. With its 3x optical zoom lens, it enables users to focus on specific subjects or areas of interest without loss of detail. The camera's ability to pan 360 degrees and tilt up to 90 degrees allows for comprehensive coverage of large spaces, making it ideal for applications such as parking lots, open-air venues, and warehouses.

Both cameras are equipped with advanced features such as digital noise reduction and wide dynamic range (WDR) technology, ensuring clear images in varying lighting conditions. The WDR feature is particularly beneficial in scenarios where backlighting can obscure details, allowing for better visibility of individuals or objects even in challenging environments. Additionally, the cameras support multiple streaming formats and resolutions, providing flexibility in how video feeds are accessed and managed across different network systems.

With built-in motion detection and event-triggered recording capabilities, both cameras enhance security by providing alerts when unusual activity is detected. Users can customize alert settings based on specific needs, ensuring efficient and timely response to potential security threats. Furthermore, both models are designed with robust IP66-rated weatherproofing, making them suitable for outdoor deployment in various weather conditions without the risk of damage.

In summary, the Panasonic WV-NW964 and WV-NS954 network cameras deliver outstanding performance through their advanced imaging technologies and versatile functionalities. With features tailored for high-quality surveillance, efficient data management, and user-friendly operation, they are essential tools for enhancing security in a variety of applications.
