SICUR, showcase of the new Full HD IP range and the new Panasonic IP mobile dome camera

Panasonic presents at SICUR 2012 the new range of network video surveillance systems, composed of both fixed and dome cameras, and the new WV-SW396 IP mobile dome camera, with the world's longest HD optical zoom, both models compatible with Onvif.

Panasonic is showing at SICUR 2012 the new Full HD Onvif IP range, which is made up of both fixed camera models and vandal-resistant fixed dome cameras: WV-SP508E, WV-SP509E, WV-SW558E y WV-SW559E. Thanks to Panasonic's proprietary technology, Uniphier, Full HD images are obtained (3 Megapixels), with a resolution of up to 1980 x 1080 in progressive scan, with the possibility of transmitting images using various video streams in H.264 High Profile and JPEG quality, for viewing and recording in real time, through WV-ASC970 IP matrix and WJ-ND400 processing systems, respectively, guaranteed native quality in all IP system processes: Full HD (1080p).

With the combination of Mega Super Dynamic technology, dynamic range x128, and ABS technology (Adaptive Black Stretch), that offers greater sharpness and clarity to the dark areas of the image captured by the camera, and through the intelligent face detection function, An exceptional image of any face detected during images is guaranteed. 24 hours of the day, thanks to its high sensitivity 0,5 lux in color and 0,06*1 lux in black and white with an aperture of F1.4.

High-end Full HD models, feature the option of inserting an XC SD card*2 to store images with a capacity of up to 2 TB.

Variable image quality in areas

The VIQS function of 2 areas (Variable Image Quality on Specified area) allows you to reduce up to 50%*3 the size (weight) of an image or video stream that is obtained, optimizing network bandwidth. The VIQS smart function allows you to send, simultaneously, two images, a complete image of 1920 x 1080 and a partial image of 640 x 360. You can select up to 4 capture areas, and manage their sequence.

Alejandro Ramon, Senior Manager Spain de CCVE & System Solutions de Panasonic System Company Europe, has commented: “With the incorporation of this new range of Full HD products to our extensive portfolio of security and IP video solutions and systems, We cover the current needs and demands of the market, especially when IP images in Full HD high definition are required and necessary in specific applications, from capture to recording and viewing, like for example, on the main access doors to unique buildings. Plus high definition images, Panasonic offers high added value through intelligent functions and constant technological innovation, allowing you to maximize the potential and performance of any IP video system.”.

The world's longest HD optical zoom

Also compatible with Onvif, Panasonic exhibits at SICUR the new IP mobile dome camera that it has incorporated into the SmartHD range for various outdoor applications, modelo WV-SW396, designed to withstand extreme temperatures ranging from -50 ° C a +50 ° C, and has the longest range HD optical zoom in the world. Vandal-resistant and completely waterproof (IP66), The WV-SW396E camera guarantees high definition image capture even in the harshest environments, satisfying the most demanding expectations of the security sector.

Thanks to Panasonic's proprietary technology, Uniphier, HD images are obtained, with a resolution of up to 1980 x 960 in progressive scan, with the possibility of transmitting images using various video streams in H.264 High Profile and JPEG quality, for viewing and recording in real time, through WV-ASC970 IP matrix and WJ-ND400 processing systems, respectively, guaranteed native quality in all IP system processes.

With a standard x36 optical zoom in HD quality and a x12 digital zoom, it is possible to achieve the equivalent of a zoom of up to x432, being able to reach up to x72 in VGA resolution (up to x864 with x12 digital zoom). With the combination of Mega Super Dynamic technology, dynamic range x128, and ABS technology (Adaptive Black Stretch), that offers greater sharpness and clarity to the dark areas of the image captured by the camera, An exceptional image is guaranteed during 24 hours of the day, thanks to its high sensitivity 0,5 lux in color and 0,06*1 lux in black and white with an aperture of F1.4.

With endless 360° movement and progressive PTZ control of 16 horizontal rotation speeds / vertical with function “Drag and Zoom” incorporated, facilitates monitoring operations. This tracking is reinforced with its Intelligent Auto Tracking, ideal and reinforcing function when activity ceases in the area to be viewed. Besides, This camera model allows tracking using Intelligent Auto Tracking so that when the moving image being followed is out of coverage, the camera that is closest and in coverage, can continue to perform Intelligent Auto Tracking automatically, and so on up to a maximum of 8 cameras, guaranteeing very wide space coverage and reinforcement.

Alejandro Ramón has pointed out that “with the incorporation of this new camera to the SmartHD range, We cover the current needs and demands of the market, especially when high definition HD IP images are required and necessary in specific applications, from capture to recording and viewing, like for example, on the perimeters of penitentiary centers or shopping centers, or for urban video surveillance applications. Plus high definition images, Panasonic offers high added value through intelligent functions and constant technological innovation, allowing you to maximize the potential and performance of any IP video system.”.
