When it is unnecessary to fix the port number for MPEG-4 image transmission such as when using in a particular LAN environment, it is recommended to select "Unicast port (AUTO)".

Unicast port (MANUAL): Up to 8 users can access a single camera concurrently. It is necessary to select "Unicast port1 (Image)" and "Unicast port2 (Audio)" manually to transmit images and audio from the camera.

It is possible to fix the port number of the router used for MPEG-4 image transmission via the Internet by setting "Unicast port (MANUAL)". (page 76) Refer to the operating instructions of the router in use.

Multicast: No concurrent access limitation for a cam- era.

Refer to Operation Instructions for further information about the maximum concurrent access number. Default: Unicast port (AUTO)

[Unicast port1 (Image)]

Enter the unicast port number (used to transmit images from the camera).

Available port number: 1024 - 50000 (Only even num- bers are available.)

Default: 32004

[Unicast port2 (Audio)]

Enter the unicast port number (used to transmit audio from the camera).

Available port number: 1024 - 50000 (Only even num- bers are available.)

Default: 33004

[Multicast address]

Enter the multicast IP address.

Images and audio will be transmitted to the designated IP address.

Available IP address: 224.0.0.0 - 239.255.255.255

Default: 239.192.0.20

[Multicast port]

Enter the multicast port number (used to transmit images from the camera).

Available port number: 1024 - 50000 (Only even num- bers are available.)

Default: 37004

[Multicast TTL]

Enter the multicast TTL value.

Available value: 1 - 254

Default: 16

Important:

Depending on the PC in use for monitoring, the mul- ticast port number may be already in use. In this case, it may be impossible to monitor images. Change the multicast port number.

When transmitting an MPEG-4 image via a network, the transmitted image sometimes may not be dis- played. In this case, refer to the network administra- tor.

When two or more network interface cards are installed on the PC in use, the network interface card(s) not used for receiving images should be invalidated when displaying images using the multi- cast port.

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.
