PREF ACE

Panasonic’s WV-CF202/WV-BF102 CCTV camera is
designed for advanced video surveillance with a new
concept, mini-dome shape, and introduces a new level
of the high picture quality and high resolution through
the use of a 1/4-inch interline transfer CCD image sen-

WV-CF202

• Signal-to-noise ratio of 46 dB

• Maximum illumination of 10 lux (1 foot-candle)

• Horizontal resolution of 330 lines

WV-BF102

• Signal-to-noise ratio of 46 dB

• Maximum illumination of 0.5 lux (0.05 foot-candle)

• Horizontal resolution of 370 lines

FEA TURES

sor having 512 horizontal pixels (picture elements) and
one chip signal processor. Additionally, optional lenses
with various angular of view are available to meet your
needs.

5. Never face the camera towards the sun.

Do not aim the camera at bright objects. Whether
the camera is in use or not, never aim it at the sun
or other extremely bright objects. Otherwise,
blooming or smear may be caused.

6. Do not use chemical e.g. thinner or benzene for
cleaning the lens.

When the lens becomes dirty, wipe it using a soft
cloth or a cloth soaked with alcohol. Using chemi­cal e.g. thinner or benzene for cleaning the lens
may damage the surface of the lens.

7. Do not operate the camera beyond the specified
temperature, humidity or power source ratings.

Use the camera under conditions where tempera­ture is between −10°C - +50°C (14°F - 122°F), and

humidity is below 90%. The input power source is
12V DC.

Caution:

To prevent fire or electric shock hazard, a UL
listed wire (VW-1, style 1007) should be used for
12V DC Input Terminals.

PRECAUTIONS

1. Do not attempt to disassemble the camera.

To prevent electric shock, do not remove screws
or covers.
There are no user serviceable parts inside. Ask a
qualified service person for servicing.

2. Handle the camera with care.

Do not abuse the camera. Avoid striking, shaking,
etc. The camera could be damaged by improper
handling or storage.

3. Do not expose the camera to rain or moisture,
or try to operate it in wet areas.

This model is produced for indoor use. If the cam­era is exposed to rain or moisture, turn the power
off immediately and ask a qualified service person
for servicing. Moisture can damage the camera
and also create the danger of electric shock.

4. Do not use strong or abrasive detergents when
cleaning the camera body.

Use a dry cloth to clean the camera when dirty.
In case the dirt is hard to remove, use a mild
detergent and wipe gently.
