Panasonic WV-SC384 Security Camera

The i-PRO SmartHD WV-SC384 model is an HD network dome camera that provides feature-rich pan-tilt-zoom control, of 720p high-definition (HD) images and full-frame 1280x960-pixel images at up to 30 images per second. It provides multiple H.264 (High profile) and JPEG video streams for simultaneous real-time monitoring and high-resolution recording. Pan-tilt-zoom (PTZ) control features include a 360-degree map shot that provides 8 thumbnail images at 45-degree intervals. Clicking on any thumbnail easily directs the PTZ camera.

The WV-SC384 dome camera uses Panasonic's UniPhier® LSI chip (H.264 high-profile format) to combine HD video and real-time video streaming at a lower data size. A new 1.3-megapixel MOS image sensor enables high sensitivity and lower power consumption. To increase user system options, the camera is Open Network Video Interface (ONVIF)-compliant, while system migration is more easily facilitated with the H.264 or MPEG-4 selectable format. Wide Dynamic Range and Adaptive Black Stretch (ABS) technologies combine to deliver 128x wider dynamic range than conventional cameras. Face Wide Dynamic Range ensures clear images of faces, and a face-detection function detects the position of human faces and sends the information by XML or video stream.
