High reliability and smooth pan/tilt mechanism
360° endless panning and tilting between –15° and 195° are available thanks to the high-performance pan/tilt mechanism. Wide range monitoring can be performed only with a single camera.
The panning/tilting speed is widely adjustable between 0.065°/sec and 120°/sec when manually controlling it.
The auto pan function allows operation with the camera (lens direction) keeping on rotating horizontally when needed.
Preset position
A desired camera direction can be registered as a preset position and the camera will move to the registered preset position only by clicking the corresponding preset button. Up to 256 preset positions can be registered.
Preset position map-shot
Thumbnail images representing 8 preset positions can be displayed on another window.
By clicking a thumbnail image, live image from the corresponding preset position will be displayed.
360° map-shot
The camera rotates 45° horizontally 8 times and 8 thumbnail images be displayed on another window.
By clicking a thumbnail image, the camera will move to a position corresponding to the selected lens direction and live image from that direction will be displayed.
Auto Eye-lid Mechanism (AEM)
When direction of the lens moved above the horizontal, a doubled image may occur when using a general camera. Our unique technology is featured in WV-SW598 and it reduces doubled images and offers images that are more natural and easy to watch.
30x Optical Zoom, 90x Ex Optical Zoom
The 30x optical zoom lens offers display of enlarged image without deterioration of high image quality.
In addition, the Ex optical zoom function offers up to 60x optical zoom and up to 1080x is available when using together with the digital zoom.
* The Ex zoom function is available only when the image capture size setting is set to “640×360” pixels.
* When using the digital zoom, image quality will be deteriorated as the zoom factor increases.
Advanced Auto Tracking
The auto tracking function using simultaneously all of the panning, tilting and zooming is available. When a motion is detected in a registered monitoring area, the camera will track the motion (object) and capture it.
Tracking using 2 cameras or more is also available.
High Resolution(1080p Full HD images up to 30fps)
WV-SW598 is equipped with a 2.4 megapixel high sensitivity MOS sensor, creating high resolution 2.4 megapixel JPEG (1920 x 1080) and Panasonic high profile H.264 compression Full HD (1920 x 1080) 30fps images to meet a wide range of surveillance requirements. JPEG/H.264 multiple streaming transmission is also supported.
A minimum illumination of 0.5 lx allows color images even in minimal lighting.
The Electronic Sensitivity Enhancement and Day/Night features enhance this capability even further to 0.03 lx(Color)/0.004 lx(BW) when filming in the dark, making these cameras ideal for 24-hour surveillance.
Fog and Smoke Reduction
Improved visibility of images in fog or smoke using Fog / Smoke reduction function
2-area VIQS (Variable Image Quality on Specified Area)
The data volume of the overall video can be reduced by filming sections with movement that needs to be monitored in high definition while filming unchanging sections in low resolution.
Two areas (total of up to 40% of the overall image) can be indicated as high-resolution monitoring sections.
Combination of Enhanced UniPhier ® and VIQS function
Data volume can be reduced by a total of 50%* by using Enhanced UniPhier® (up to 30%) and 2-area VIQS (up to 20%).
Reducing the data volume decreases the load on the network.
It also uses less space on the disc in the recorder, meaning that more images can be stored on a disc of the same size with the same image settings.
* Compared with WV-NP502. Reduction may vary depending on object and image quality settings.
Various Transmission Modes
Select from four modes to suit conditions such as the image being filmed and the monitoring environment. This allows for optimal performance for image quality, movement, network load reduction, recording space and more.In addition to “Constant Bitrate”, which provides the best picture quality, “Frame rate”, which provides the best capturing of objects? movement, and “Best effort”, which changes the settings according to network conditions, a new function, “Advanced VBR (Variable Bitrate)” has been added. Advanced VBR secures recording space on the recorder while maintaining a constant image quality, and can even film complex scenes without decreasing image quality.
32 areas privacy zone masking
Sections within the capture area that you do not want to capture or that must not be captured can be masked. The mask is applied to the camera so that the masked area does not appear on the monitoring screen, and is also not recorded in the data stored on the recorder ,etc. Up to 32 privacy zones can be set.
SDXC Memory card edge recording
An SD memory card can be installed in the camera to record images. The camera can be set to record images to the SD memory card if a network problem causes a loss of communication between the camera and recorder, or when an alarm is detected.
Smartphone, Tablet PC monitoring
Monitoring can even be done from smart phones or tablet computers. The image is optimized to suit the screen. This makes it possible to monitor an area even while away or in transit.
* iPad, iPhone, iPod touch (iOS 4.2.1 or later) , Android™ mobile terminals For further information about compatible devices, refer to our web site
(http://security.panasonic.com/pss/security/support/info.html).
Functions of motion detection, sound detection and alarm detection
It is possible to make the camera take the following actions when a motion or sound is detected in an area registered on the monitoring window or detected by a sensor connected to the external interface;
- Display the [Alarm occurrence indication] button on the “Live” page
- Notify of alarm occurrences to the device connected to the alarm output connector
- Save images on the SD memory card
- Automatically send images to an ftp server
- Notify of detections to the administrator by e-mail
- Notify of alarm occurrences to the designated IP addresses (Panasonic alarm protocol notification)
Rain-wash coating
The application of rain-wash coating to the dome cover provides clearer visibility, allowing good security to be maintained even when the camera is installed in an environment subject to rain or water splashing.
Dehumidifier
WV-SW598 is equipped with a dehumidifier that keeps the internal moisture level low, preventing condenstation and quickly dissipating any condensation that forms.
Waterproof and dustproof
Waterproofing and dustproofing function compliant with IP66.
Can be installed outside in an area that receives direct wind and rain without special housing.
Compliant with IP66 (IEC60529)
Wide Ambient operate temperature
Installation in various places is possible since a wide ambient temperature is supported.
The integrated structure including the sun shield structure and the heater for cold weather region (activates when the internal temperature becomes below 10°C) allows use in a variety of locations where the ambient temperature range is between –50°C and 55°C (when using a PoE Injector).
Even when installed in a severe environment, a stable camera operation is provided.
Vandal Resistant Mechanism
Extremely shock-proof- will not break even under strong impact.
Compliant with 20J (IEC 60068-2-75) / IK10(IEC 62262)
