Note:

When selecting a smaller value for "Total bit rate" (page 54) while putting a priority on the JPEG/ MPEG-4 image transmission, select "16 kbps" for "Audio bit rate".

[Mic input volume (Camera to PC)]

Select a volume level on the PC to hear audio transmit- ted from the camera.

Low/Middle/High

Default: Middle

[Mic input interval (Camera to PC)]

Select an interval for audio reception from the following. 20 msec/40 msec/80 msec/160 msec

Default: 40 msec

Note:

When a shorter interval is selected, the delay time will be shorter. When a longer interval is selected, audio interruption may be diminished even though the delay time will be longer.

Select the interval according to the network environ- ment.

[Audio output volume (PC to Camera)]

Select a volume level on the camera to hear audio transmitted from the PC.

Low/Middle/High

Default: Middle

[Audio output interval (PC to Camera)]

Select an interval for audio transmission from the follow- ing.

160 msec/320 msec/640 msec/1280 msec Default: 640 msec

Notes:

When a shorter interval is selected, the delay time will be shorter. When a longer interval is selected, audio interruption may be diminished even though the delay time will be longer.

Select the interval according to the network environ- ment.

Audio may temporarily be interrupted or noise may be heard when panning, tilting or zooming the cam- era, or when multiple users are accessing concur- rently. It may be possible to diminish the interruption or noise by setting a longer interval for "Audio output interval (PC to Camera)".

[Audio output port (PC to Camera)]

Enter the transmission port number (the port number on the camera used to receive audio data transmitted from the PC).

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

Default: 34004

Note:

The transmission port number entered for "Audio output port (PC to Camera)" will be used only when "Unicast (MANUAL)" is selected for "Transmission type" (page 21).

When "OFF" is selected for "MPEG-4 transmission" (page 21) or when "Unicast (AUTO)" or "Multicast" is selected for "Transmission type", it is not necessary to enter the transmission port num- ber.

[Authentication]

Select an access level for audio transmission/reception from the following. Refer to page 49 for further informa- tion about the access level.

Level 1 only/Level 2 or higher/All users Default: All users

Notes:

Images and audio will not be synchronized. Therefore, images and audio may not always match.

Audio may be interrupted depending on the network environment.

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.
