10 Configure the basic settings of the camera [Basic]

SD memory card

[SD memory card]

Select “Use” or “Not use” to determine whether or not to use the SD memory card.

•Default: Use

IMPORTANT

•Select “Not use” when operating without an SD memory card.

•Before removing the SD memory card from the camera, it is necessary to select “Not use” first. The recorded data may be corrupted if the SD memory card is removed when “Use” is selected.

•When an SD memory card is inserted when “Use” is selected, data will be saved in accordance with the setting of “Save trigger”.

•After inserting the SD memory card, it is necessary to select “Use” to use the SD memory card.

•When playing or downloading images saved on the SD memory card, it is necessary to select “On” for “Save logs” on the [Log] tab (→page 74) in advance.

•When the image refresh interval is short, notification/recording timing or interval may become incorrect. Notification/recording may also not be performed correctly as configured when multiple users are receiving images. In this case, set the refresh interval longer.

•There are limited times to overwrite on an SD memory card. When having a high frequency of overwriting, the lifetime of the SD memory card may become shorter.

•A lifetime of an SD memory card should be influenced by the number of the image files stored and log savings on the SD memory card. Selecting “H.264(1)” or “H.264(2)” for “Recording format” can reduce the number of files to be stored on the SD memory card.

•If the data writing speed goes down after data is repeatedly written on an SD memory card, we recommend replacing the SD memory card.

[Recording format]

Select “JPEG”/“H.264(1)”/“H.264(2)” for the video encoding format of image data to be recorded on the SD memory card.

•JPEG: Records still image data.

•H.264(1): Records video data (H.264(1)) in the MP4 video encoding format. Audio will not be recorded. The data is recorded in accordance with the settings of “H.264(1)” on the [JPEG/H.264] tab of the “Image/ Audio” page.

•H.264(2): Records video data (H.264(2)) in the MP4 video encoding format. Audio will not be recorded. The data is recorded in accordance with the settings of “H.264(2)” on the [JPEG/H.264] tab of the “Image/ Audio” page.

•Default: JPEG

Note

•When recording the same data as the “Live” pages, it is recommended that the same settings be configured for both the “Live” pages and “Recording format”. When recording data other than the “Live” pages (for example, to reduce the data volume by lowering the image quality and image resolution), select image data other than the “Live” page from “Recording format”, and configure the settings for recording video data.

•When “H.264(1)” is selected, the settings for “H.264(1)” on the [JPEG/H.264] tab of the “Image/ Audio” page will be changed to the settings for “H.264(1) & recording”.

When “H.264(2)” is selected, the settings for “H.264(2)” on the [JPEG/H.264] tab of the “Image/ Audio” page will be changed to the settings for “H.264(2) & recording”.

•When using the SD memory recording function of a Panasonic network disk recorder, select “JPEG” for “Recording format”.

•When the setting of “Recording format” is changed between “JPEG” and “H.264(1)” or “H.264(2)”, format the SD memory card. (→page 63)

WV-SF539, WV-SF549, WV-SP508E, WV-SW559E, WV-SF548 specifications

Panasonic has made significant strides in the surveillance camera industry with its WV-SF538E, WV-SF549E, WV-SP508, WV-SF538, and WV-SW558 models. These cameras cater to various security needs, offering cutting-edge technology and robust features that enhance surveillance capabilities across diverse environments.

The WV-SF538E and WV-SF549E are part of Panasonic's acclaimed i-PRO series, designed for superior image quality and reliability. Both models boast a 1080p Full HD resolution, ensuring clear and detailed imagery even in challenging lighting conditions. With their advanced Intelligent Auto technology, these cameras automatically adjust settings such as focus, exposure, and white balance, optimizing the video feed in real-time for enhanced visibility.

Another notable aspect of these models is their Wide Dynamic Range (WDR) feature, which enables the cameras to handle scenes with both bright and dark areas. This is particularly beneficial for environments with contrasting lighting conditions, such as entrances or parking lots. Additionally, they are equipped with a 20x optical zoom lens, allowing operators to zoom in on subjects without losing image quality, thereby providing flexibility in surveillance.

The WV-SP508, a PTZ camera, takes this flexibility a step further with its pan and tilt capabilities. This model is particularly well-suited for large areas, allowing operators to monitor extensive spaces with ease. Its high sensitivity in low light ensures that the camera delivers quality imaging even after sunset, maintaining security around the clock.

On the other hand, the WV-SF538 and WV-SW558 are compact dome cameras that combine aesthetics with performance. The WV-SW558 features a weather-resistant design, making it ideal for outdoor use. Both models offer enhanced security features like Motion Detection and Face Detection, aiding in proactive surveillance and incident detection.

All these models are integrated with advanced video analytics and can be easily connected to a network, allowing for remote monitoring and management. The cameras support various compression formats, including H.265, which enables efficient storage and bandwidth savings.

Overall, Panasonic's WV-SF538E, WV-SF549E, WV-SP508, WV-SF538, and WV-SW558 cameras present a formidable combination of performance, reliability, and advanced technology. These models are designed to meet the demanding needs of modern surveillance, providing users with high-quality images and proactive security solutions.
