WV-CF294E Description
Mini-dome camera with Adaptive Black Stretch and Auto Back Focus technologies
The WV-CF294 compact dome camera is equipped with a newly developed high-performance DSP that enables image quality to be taken to the next level. Equipped with Adaptive Black Stretch technology, the image processing algorithm built-in to the newly-developed DSP enables the transformation of shadows and dark areas into natural and clear images in real time. With horizontal resolution of 540 TV lines in colour mode, the WV-CF294 can reproduce high clarity images, down to the smallest detail, making it easier to identify objects.
The WV-CF294 is equipped with the newly developed Auto Back Focus (ABF) for accurate focus adjustment. After adjusting the viewing angle, you can focus the camera precisely by simply pushing the ABF button on the camera body. The WV-CW294 is also equipped with a 3.6x variable focal lens with a focal length of 2.8~10.0mm, enabling a variety of viewing angle adjustments for installation in high locations such as airport ceilings and hotel lobbies.
The built-in Day/ Night feature ensures that when light in surrounding areas dims, the mode automatically switches from colour to black and white enabling sensitivity to be increased even further. Additionally, when the surrounding area brightens, the mode automatically switches back to colour, ensuring the highest quality image capturing ability is maintained 24 hours a day.
The platform inside the domes also offers a three-way hinge allowing horizontal and vertical rotation, as well as swivel rotation, enabling flexible camera angle adjustments. Additionally, by increasing angle capability this camera is suitable for installation in a wide variety of situations, not only on ceilings but also on walls and inside elevators.
Other features of both cameras include easy installation with a one-touch fitting mechanism; viewing angle adjustment capability when connecting a portable LCD to the monitor output terminal; enables simultaneous support for two types of synchronisation modes, Internal and VD2; plus, other features for flexible system configuration.
Superb Picture Quality that Approaches Reality, Easy Installation, High Cost Performance. The new WV-CF294/284 compact dome cameras from Panasonic are equipped with a recently-developed high-performance DSP that provides better image quality. Adaptive Black Stretch technology transforms dark areas into crisp images like those seen by the human eye. The WV-CF294/284 also provides easier installation including further accuracy and simple focus adjustment through a newly-developed Auto Back Focus* mechanism. Also features high cost performance. The WV-CF294/284 can be used at a variety of sites including offices, retail stores, restaurants and shopping malls. * WV-CF294 only
Transforms dark areas into natural and crisp images
Adaptive Black Stretch
The image processing algorithm built into the newly-developed DSP enables the transformation of shadows and dark areas into natural and crisp images in real time. It can reproduce images that are more similar to human sight.
Reproducing clear images down to the smallest detail
Horizontal resolution of 540 TV lines in colour mode
It can reproduce images clearly, down to the smallest detail, making it easier to identify objects.
Powerful in low light
Minimum illumination intensity of 0.9 lux in colour mode
Introduction of a new circuit provides high sensitivity at a minimum illumination intensity of 0.9 lux in colour mode. Clear and colour monitoring is possible even in low light.
Day/Night feature
When surrounding areas dim, the mode automatically switches from colour to black and white while sensitivity is increased. Additionally, when the surrounding area brightens, the mode automatically switches back to colour.
Plus, other features for flexible system configuration
24V AC/12V DC
Both 24V AC/12V DC are available. Accordingly, you can use these cameras in a variety of installation environments.
Multi-channel camera systems
Simultaneously supports two types of synchronization modes, Internal and VD2.These cameras also easily facilitate the establishment of multi-channel systems using multiple cameras.
Accurate focus adjustment
Auto Back Focus (ABF) (WV-CF294 only)
The WV-CF294 is equipped with the newly-developed Auto Back Focus (ABF). After adjusting the viewing angle, you can precisely focus the camera simply by pushing the Auto Back Focus (ABF) button on the camera body.
Easy viewing angle adjustment
3.6x Variable Focal Lens (WV-CF294 only)
The WV-CF294 comes equipped with a 3.6x variable focal lens. The focal length is 2.8~10.0mm, enabling a variety of viewing angle adjustments. It allows installation in high locations such as airport ceilings and hotel ballrooms. The WV-CF284 comes equipped with a 2x variable focal lens with a focal length of 2.8~6.0mm.
Monitor output terminal
When connecting a portable LCD to the monitor output terminal, you can adjust the viewing angle while confirming the image on the spot.
Three-way hinge
The camera platform inside the dome has a three-way hinge that allows horizontal and vertical rotation, as well as swivel rotation, enabling flexible camera angle adjustment. Additionally, you can install the camera anywhere, not only on the ceiling but also on walls or inside elevators.
