[Mask area]

When "OFF" is selected for "Super Dynamic 3", it is possible to compensate for backlight by masking the brighter area.

Refer to page 29 for descriptions of how to mask.

[Shutter]

Select the shutter speed from the following.

AUTO: Provides clearer images of bright objects out- doors since the shutter speed is adjusted automati- cally. Flickering caused by fluorescent lamps can also be compensated.

OFF: Fixed at 1/60 sec

1/100: Recommended when flickering caused by fluo- rescent lamp appears frequently.

Default: AUTO

Depending on the environment, flickering may not be compensated even when selecting "AUTO". When flick- ers appear frequently, set the shutter speed to "1/100".

[AGC]

Select a method of gain adjustment from the following. ON (HIGH)/ON (MID)/ON (LOW): When the luminance

of the subject becomes darker, gain will be automati- cally incremented and screen will become brighter. "HIGH", "MID" and "LOW" are indications of gain level.

OFF: Images will be captured with the fixed gain level.

Default: ON (HIGH)

[Sensitivity up]

The electronic sensitivity enhancement (sensitivity up) can be carried out by adjusting the storage time of CCD. The following are available for the sensitivity up. OFF/x2 AUTO/x4 AUTO/x6 AUTO/x10 AUTO/

x16 AUTO/x32 AUTO Default: OFF

Note:

When "x32 AUTO" is selected, for example, sensitiv- ity will automatically be increased up to x32.

Important:

When the sensitivity up function is active, frame rate may become lower. Noise or white dots (blemishes) may sometimes appear.

[Black & white mode]

Select switching between the color mode and the black & white mode.

ON: The black & white mode is selected.

OFF: The color mode is selected.

AUTO: The camera automatically switches between the

color mode and the black & white mode in accor- dance with picture brightness (luminance). The black

&white mode is selected when lighting is low, while the color mode is selected for bright lighting.

Default: OFF

Note:

This camera can easily judge the light source by the information of the CCD image capture elements. Sometimes the light source cannot be judged when a moving subject or the entire screen is constantly a fixed color.

[LEVEL]

Set the level of light at which black & white mode is switched to.

HIGH: The black & white mode is switched to when the lighting around the camera is approximately 5 lx or lower.

LOW: The black & white mode is switched to when the lighting around the camera is approximately 2 lx or lower.

Default: HIGH

[Wait time]

Select the interval before switching between the color mode and black & white mode from the following.

10 sec/30 sec/1 min/5 min Default: 30 sec

[White balance]

Select a method of white balance adjustment from the following.

White color can be adjusted by "Red Gain" and "Blue Gain".

ATW1: Auto tracing white balance mode

The camera will constantly check the color tempera- ture of the light source and adjust the white balance automatically.

Operating color temperature range is approx.

2 700 K – 6 000 K.

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.
