FEATURES

The WJ-MP204 Data Multiplex Unit enables you to remote control multiple surveillance cameras, check alarm set­tings, operate the cameras and control other system com­ponents when combined with the WV-CU360 System Controller with Panasonic Security Data mode capability.
The WJ-MP204 offers the following functions:
• Panasonic Security Data mode (with WV-CU360 con­nected)
• Camera Communication mode (with WJ-SX350 con­nected via RS-485)
• Camera channel selection
• Alarm resetting and suspension
• Communication and system setup
Remote control of the cameras using the WV-CU360 System Controller with Panasonic Security Data mode capability, including:
• Camera settings
• Pan/Tilt Head and Camera Housing (Wiper, Defroster, etc.)
• Motorized Zoom Lens (Focus, Zoom, Iris, etc.)
• Camera setup
Camera Spot function
Allows you to display on the monitor any camera image selected on the WJ-MP204 Data Multiplex Unit or the WV­CU360 System Controller.
Alarm function
Performs the following operations in response to alarm input to the WJ-MP204 Data Multiplex Unit:
• Activates the camera preset function and displays the image of the camera at the preset position on the moni­tor.
• Outputs an alarm signal from the Alarm/Remote con­nector to external devices to notify them of the alarm.
• Accepts alarm input multiplexed with video signal from the camera.
Using up to four Data Multiplex Units in daisy-chain con­nection allows expansion of the system to include up to 16 cameras. The distance between the system and the cam­eras can be extended by connecting an AV Codec or simi­lar device. The WJ-MP204 and other devices compatible with Panasonic Security Data mode have the logo
