Panasonic WV-CW960 User Manual

Using the auto tracking feature, the camera follows the largest
movement in the image, automatically. The camera will pan and tilt to
keep the subject in the centre of the image.

Quickly capture a subject, thanks to a
maximum 400°/sec. panning speed. 
The surveillance range is 360° horizontally 
(endless panning) and 190° vertically.

Press a key on the controller to select preset positions.

For example, if the camera has been tampered with by a manual
change in its angle, removal of the lens, defocusing, or blocking the
lens with cloth
or paint, this
feature detects
the interference
and sends an
alarm. 

Automatic image stabilization prevents blurring when high winds or
vibration from
aircraft, trains,
or trucks affect
cameras. 

Our proprietary control chip, brushless DC motor, and microprocessor
with optimized speed profile give you super fine 0.065°/sec. pan control.
Combined with high-
performance zoom, 
it permits smooth
tracking and captures
moving subjects.

The Image Hold function stores and displays the image immediately before
the position selection until selection of preset positions is complete. 
This function eliminates the screen blurring that occurs during panning with
conventional cameras, for clear, well-defined images during monitoring.

When the camera pans 135°
vertically, the top and bottom of the
image can be digitally reversed. 
A subject passing directly under the
camera can be continuously tracked
as the camera continues its 180° pan.

Mask any portion of the surveillance image on
screen to prevent privacy infringement. 
(Gray and mosaic masking supported.)

When movement is detected within the
surveillance area, the motion detector sends
an alarm to external devices. Connection to a
VTR or DVR recording system is also possible.

Perform a camera operation such as panning or zooming once, then,
with Patrol Learn, reproduce it at the flip of a switch. 

Show an identifying name for each camera on the monitor, up to 16
characters and symbols.

With 4 alarm inputs and 2 alarm outputs on the output connector, each
alarm signal can operate under preset positions and zooms. Alarm
signals can also control DVR, VTR, or other external recording devices.

Transmits video image signals, control data, synchronization signals
(VD2), and alarm signals over one coaxial cable up to 1,200 m long.
The system also supports RS-485 data communication for use over
extended distances and with expanded services.

System set up in eight languages: English, German, French, Spanish,
Italian, Russian, Chinese, and Japanese.

The standard 30x optical zoom lens on the WV-CW960 Series and 10x
digital zoom provide a total of 300x zoom. This powerful zoom capability
allows you to zoom in on distant subjects and identify them correctly.

Movement-generated streaking is corrected with 2D DNR processing
for moving subjects and 3D DNR for the background. Now capture
headlights of moving cars clearly, unmarred by the streaking previous
3D DNR
subject-image
processing
generated.

The WV-CW960 Series can be
installed under eaves, on 
external walls or rooftops, and in
other outdoor locations. It's IP66
(IEC60529 standard) approved.

The housings built-in fan
and heater ensure an
operating temperature range
of -40°C to +50°C.

Built-in sun shield permits camera locations in direct sunlight.

This new 

III colour dome cameras integrate a weatherproof

housing, 360° high-speed pan and tilt base, and 30x optical zoom lens. 
Through exclusive Panasonic high performance features like Pixel Based 
160x Dynamic Range, unprecedented image realism is achieved. 
Moreover, new intelligent functions, including Auto Image Stabilizer, 
Scene Change Detection, and Auto Tracking, deliver outstanding 
reliability in outdoor surveillance. 
The WV-CW960 Series will play a dynamic role in a host of security
applications; including parking lots, amusement parks, shopping malls,
airports, train stations, expressways, city streets, plazas.

Area-free natural contrast image correction is pixel based to ensure
accurate reproduction, whatever the subject or location. The 160x
Dynamic Range, with both 1/8,000 sec. and 1/50 sec. shutter speeds,
makes this the ideal surveillance solution for ATMs, entrances, and
other areas where contrast can lighting can vary. 

Optimized filtering and broadband
digital signal processing developed
for the 

III DSP

deliver the finest details, with 540 
TV lines of horizontal resolution in
colour (typical) and 570 TV lines in B/W.

To deliver natural colour in its full range, new digital colour circuitry in the DSP
processes colour in finer detail, for reproduction of pale or dimly lit colours.

For optimal surveillance, day and night, the camera automatically
switches to B/W mode, for greater sensitivity, when darkness falls. 
In daylight, it automatically switches to colour mode. Mode selection
can also be set to manual operation.

Capture a clear surveillance image even in poor light. Minimum
illumination needed is only 0.5 lux in colour and 0.04 lux in B/W mode,
with pix sens up off, sens up off (AGC high).

WV-CW960 Series are all equipped with Auto Focus, ensuring that 
what you see is always in sharp focus.
