To show you reality clearly,
Super Dynamic III cameras take image processing to new peaks, with all the contrast,
detail and color of reality itself, even in dimly lit situations. This breakthrough in visual surveillance delivers
the definitive picture you need for accurate identification.
the definitive picture you need for accurate identification.
Confronted with changing environments or attempts at interference, these cameras think — and then act — to
deliver the best possible image. Super smart,
Super Dynamic III offers the active reliability to ensure
the results you need under a wide variety of conditions for a host of applications.

Better in Low Light
As Low as 0.5 lux
WV-CW964/WV-CS954 can be used in lighting as low as 0.5 lux (0.05 fc,
color) or 0.04 lux (0.004 fc, B/W). When equipped with the optional F1.2
lens, the WV-CP480 Series deliver clear, sharp images in lighting as low as
0.5 lux (0.05 fc, color) or 0.06 lux (0.006 fc, B/W).

30x Optical Zoom
(Up to 300x with Digital Zoom)
WV-CW964/WV-CS954 come equipped with a 30x optical zoom lens.
The addition of 10x digital zoom means zoom capability up to 300x,
allowing you to zoom in on distant subjects in high position, wide area
surveillance applications. Combined with high image quality, the result is
a new advance in identification capability.

Realistic Natural Color
Color Processing Enhancements
To ensure that what you see is the full range of natural color,
the digital color circuitry in our newly developed DSP
processes color at a finer level of detail, enabling reproduction
of even poorly illuminated or pale colors.

Sharply Focused Day and Night
Auto Back Focus (ABF)
(WV-CP480 Series only)
In WV-CP480 Series cameras, the ABF feature automatically adjusts the CCD position
when changing from color to B/W mode, optimizing the back focus required for clear,
sharp images. In addition, the one-push Auto Focus feature sharply reduces the time required
to focus cameras during installation, allowing focus to be set using the optional system controller.

With No Streaking
Adaptive Digital Noise Reduction
The combination of 2D DNR processing for the moving subject with 3D DNR
for the background corrects movement-generated streaking. Now even the
headlights of moving cars can been seen clearly, unmarred by the streaks of
light produced by previous 3D DNR subject-image processing.

Following Intruders
Auto Tracking
(WV-CW964/WV-CS954 only)
This feature automatically follows the largest movement in the image, causing the camera to pan
and tilt to keep the subject in the center of the image. Ideal for detecting intruders in vaults,
pharmaceutical or chemical labs, prisons, or wherever access is limited. It is also the solution for banks,
restaurants, department stores and warehouses at night when no activity should be taking place.
