WV-SP302E Description

VGA / 800x600 H.264 Network Camera

The WV-SP302 H.264 Network Camera uses a high sensitivity 1.3 Megapixel MOS Sensor, and allows multiple H.264 (High Profile) streams to ensure simultaneous real time monitoring and high resolution recording via “UniPhier”, Panasonic’s proprietary System LSI platform.

Full frame (up to 30fps) transmission is available at VGA or 800x600 images sizes, with 16:9 aspect ratio H.264 streams available up to 640x360 resolution.

Optimum image quality is assured through the use of advanced technologies such as Face Wide Dynamic Range for clear face images, and Adaptive Black Stretch (ABS) to deliver wider dynamic range than conventional camera. The 3D-DNR Digital Noise Reduction system ensures noise reduction in a variety of environmental conditions, while progressive scan ensure clear images by minimising motion blur, even with moving subjects.

A simple browser control interface gives the user simple access to zoom controls, alarm notifications and simple image transfer.

Setup and configuration is made as simple as possible through the use of focus assist, and a simple multi-language GUI and setup menu, along with an analogue monitor output for easy installation.

H.264/MPEG-4, Motion JPEG Moving Image Function
BL-C230 corresponds well to JPEG System, MPEG-4 System (which has a high image compression rate and so is suitable for monitoring any moving image) and H.264 System which is higher in image compression rate than MPEG-4 System. Through BL-C230, you can monitor any moving image properly in accordance with your purposes. Plus, simultaneous use of two different kinds of communication systems (*1-1) is possible with BL-C230. Its image-updating speed is 30 pcs/sec at max in case of [640 x 480 dots] of H.264. Therefore, you can catch any moving target through very smooth and high-definition image monitoring byBL-C230.

*1-1 Combination of simultaneous use of the two different communication systems is limited to [H.264 & Motion JPEG] or [MPEG-4 & Motion JPEG] only. Combination of [H.264 & MPEG-4] is not available.
*1-2 When you use any mobile phone for monitoring a moving image, the monitoring is available through JPEG only. The Camera’s Voice Function is not available in this case.

3x Digital zoom function*(by area)
It’s so reassuring to see your pet’s happy face while you are out. A simple mouse operation is all you need to enlarge the image, using the 3x digital zoom, so you get a clear view of your pet’s expression.

* This feature is not available when viewing on a cell phone.

TV Connection*2
The camera can be connected to a TV (VIERA*3 only) and the image can be viewed on the TV’s monitor. The camera can be operated through the TV’s remote control, making it simple even for those not used to computers.

* For US model only
*3 *Compatible Panasonic VIERA TVs The camera is compatible with the following Panasonic VIERA TVs.
G10 series, G15 series, V10 series, Z1 series

External Input Connector
Sensors and switches can be connected to the camera through two external Input ports.

Sound Detection Sensor
When BL-C230 senses or detects any sound happening around the camera, this camera is designed to take a picture of anything relevant and temporarily save the relevant picture image*4. Such saved picture image can be checked on the screen for temporarily-saved picture images or saved on your PC. You can also transfer the saved picture image (must be in form of JPEG) to your e-mail address, FTP Server, HTTP Server and so on.

*4 Any picture image in form of H.264 or MPEG-4 cannot be saved temporarily or transferred.

Privacy mode
With privacy mode you can shut the camera lens and protect yourself from unwanted exposure. Operation is simple - you only need to push the privacy button.

SSL Support
This system supports SSL data encrypted communications. By encrypting the network camera’s image and other data for network transmission, it prevents electronic eavesdropping for greatly improved security.

Wireless Communication
Install the camera anywhere*5 with no transmission cables to connect, and enjoy high-speed communications at 2.4 GHz, 54 Mbps*6 (IEEE 802.11g) or 2.4 GHz, 11 Mbps*6 (IEEE 802.11b).

*5 Cannot be used in bathrooms or outdoors.
*6 The indicated speed is the maximum theoretical value of the wireless LAN specification, and does not denote the actual data transfer speed achieved by the cameras.

Remote Pan and Tilt Control
You can use a PC or cell phone directly to change the direction that the camera is facing while monitoring the image. This lets you monitor a large area with a single camera.

Operating Range
Pan (Display Range 82º max)
Tilt (Display Range 42º max)

Multi-camera Capability*7
Images from several cameras can be monitored and transceiver-type voice communication*8 can be used simultaneously.

*7 Moving pictures from up to 9 cameras can be displayed on a single screen. Still images from up to 16 cameras can be displayed.
*8 This function can be used only with a PC. It cannot be used with a cell phone.

Cell Phone Monitoring*
Still images from the camera can be checked on any cell phone that is capable of Internet access. The pan, tilt, and zoom functions can also be operated by using the cell phone.

* Models that support JPEG only. The audio feature does not work on cell phones.

WV-SP302 Specifications

*1 H.264 and MPEG-4 cannot browse at the same time.

*2 The frame rate may slow down depending on the network environment, PC performance, image quality, memory recording, when Colour night view mode is activated, etc.

*3 The camera supports POP Before SMTP Authentication and SMTP Authentication. PLAIN, LOGIN, and CRAM-MD5 SMTP Authentication are supported. SSL supports SMTP over SSL. STARTTLS is not supported.

When you use more than one(1) PCs to see any moving image by H.264 or MPEG-4, you are requested to buy User License Accessory additionally.
