HD / 1,280 x 720 H.264 Network Camera (BL-VP104)

Key Features

• 720p HD images up to 30 fps

• 1.0 Megapixel high sensitivity CMOS Sensor

• Multiple H.264 (High profile) streams and JPEG streams ensure
simultaneous real time monitoring and high resolution recording by
“UniPhier

• Full frame (Up to 30 fps) transmission at 1,280 x 720 image size

• High sensitivity with Day & Night (Electrical) function:

0.9 lx (Color), 0.6 lx (B/W) at F2.8

• Digital Noise Reduction: 3D-DNR ensures noise reduction in various
conditions.

• Progressive scan ensures clear images with less motion blur and no
tearing even when the subject is moving.

• Electronic sensitivity enhancement: Auto (Up to 16x) / OFF

• Selectable light control modes: Indoor scene (50 Hz) / Indoor scene
(60 Hz) / ELC (maximum exposure time)

Indoor scene (50 Hz/60Hz): Flicker caused by fluorescent lightning

will be automatically compensated.

ELC (maximum exposure time): The lightning control will be

automatically performed by adjusting shutter speed in the range of
ELC.

• 1.5x extra zoom under VGA resolution

• 4x digital zoom controlled by browser

• VMD (Video Motion Detection) with 4 programmable detection
areas, 15 steps sensitivity level and 10 steps detection size

browser

• Alarm sources including VMD and Panasonic alarm command can
trigger actions such as FTP image transfer, E-mail notification,
Indication on browser, and Panasonic alarm protocol output.

• JPEG Image compression ratio can be changed by alarm so that
higher quality image can be provided.

• Prioritized stream control: One of the video streams can be
prioritized when multiple recorders or client PCs are accessing the
camera so that the recorder or the client PC can maintain the frame
rate.

• H.264 max. bit rate/client and Total bit rate control allows flexible
network traffic management. Frame rate priority mode controls bit
rate and compression ratio to provide the specified frame rate.

• Smartphone monitoring : Direct camera control from smartphone

• Wireless LAN function (IEEE802.11 n/b/g) : Camera images can be
monitored over a wireless router. (BL-VP104W)

• WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setup) function : WPS enables the camera to
automatically obtain the connection configuration information and
the security configuration information of the wireless router. WPS
can be configured by pressing the WIRELESS button (WPS
indicator) (PBC method) or entering an 8 digit pin code (Pin code
method). (BL-VP104W)
