■ Camera Cleaning

Even if this function is used, noise may be produced on the monitor screen, or the preset position may
deviate in the course of prolonged use.
In such cases, activate the refresh mode on the special 2 menu. (See page 46.)

To use this camera with the WJ-SX550B Matrix Switcher, set the auto cleaning function activated on the
Matrix Switcher side, then clean WV-CW864 one time a day.

■ Preset Data Uploading or Downloading

To download the preset data from the camera to the controller or upload the downloaded data to the
camera, set the following functions to OFF.
Downloading or uploading the data may not work normally if these functions are set to ON.

•Alarm (See page 32.)

•Preset alarm (See page 35.)

• Cleaning (See page 34.)

•Motion detection (See page 43.)

• Auto mode (See page 23.)

• Self return (See page 22.)

Aim the camera at a motionless object such as a wall, if possible, to download or upload the preset data.

Note: Take notice of the following when uploading the downloaded data to the camera.

• Preset positions may vary. If a preset position has deviated, delete the preset position and set
the correct preset position newly.

• Uploading of WV-CW864 preset data to other models (e.g. WV-CS850A series) may cause an
error and failure of the uploading process.

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 personnel for servic­ing.

2. Handle the camera with care.

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

3. Consult an expert on the load bearing
capacity of the installation surface and
structure. If the surface is not strong
enough, the camera may fall down. Refer
to the product specifications for weights.

4. Do not install the camera in places where
it will be exposed to corrosive gasses,
e.g., in chemical plants, seaside, at swim­ming pools or the like. Otherwise corro­sion of the bracket may cause the camera
to fall down.

5. Use the fall-prevention wires to reduce
the risk of the camera falling down.

Do not detach the fall-prevention wire secur­ing the camera. Otherwise the camera could
fall down, causing injury to persons and
damage to the camera.

PRECAUTIONS

6

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

Use a dry cloth to clean the camera when it
is dirty.
When the dirt is hard to remove, use a mild
detergent and wipe gently. Care should be
taken not to scratch the dome cover when
wiping it.
Afterwards, wipe off the remaining detergent
with a dry cloth.

7. Never aim the camera at the sun.

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

8. Never aim the camera at strong light
sources for an extended period of time.

Alight source such as a spot light causes
burn-in on the display screen. Failure to
observe this may cause the image to
become discolored due to deterioration of
the color filter in the CCD.

9. Do not aim the camera at the same object
for a long time.

Burn-in of an image may be caused on the
fluorescent screen of CRT.

10. Do not install this camera upside down.

This camera is designed for mounting on the
ceiling or wall. Using this camera installed
upside down, for example, mounted on the
floor, may cause malfunction.

11. If “OVER HEAT” appears on the monitor
screen.

The temperature inside the camera exceeds
the normal level because of a malfunction of
the cooling fan etc. If this happens, turn the
power off immediately and refer servicing to
qualified service personnel.

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

Use the camera under conditions where
temperatures are between –30 °C and
+50 °C (–22 °F to 122 °F), preferably –10 °C
(14 °F) to +40 °C (104 °F), and humidity is
below 90 %.
The input power source is 24 V AC for WV­CW864.

We recommend that you install the optional
sun shield when the camera is exposed to
direct sunshine where the ambient tempera­ture exceeds +40 °C (104 °F).
Picture quality and camera performance are
not guaranteed until the inside temperature
has risen to –10 °C (14 °F) after turning on
the camera in a cold atmosphere. Wait until
the built-in heater warms up the unit and the
lens and pan/tilt head start searching their
origins.

13. Consumables

Parts having contacts such as the lens-drive
motors, cooling fan motor and slip-rings
inside the camera are subject to wear with
time. Please ask the nearest service center
about replacement and maintenance of such
parts.

14. Do not install the camera in places sub­ject to vibrations.

Shock absorbers should be installed togeth­er with the camera in such places as
bridges, airplanes, vehicles, or near vibra­tion sources.

• Matsushita Electric Industrial Co., Ltd. here­with declares that it will not be liable for any

● Special 1 Menu

(1) Privacy Zone (PRIVACY ZONE)

This setting is used for masking unwanted zones, hiding them from display on the monitor screen. Set
PASSWORD LOCK to OFF(DIS) if you want to change this setting.
Up to 8 zones can be registered. Submenus are provided for zone number selection and parameter
setting. See page 26 for details.

(2) Proportional Pan-Tilt Speed (PROPO. P/T)

If ON is selected, the pan-tilt speed changes automatically corresponding to the zoom ratio. For
example, the pan-tilt speed slows down when the camera zooms in. See page 28 for details.

(3) Area Title (AREA TITLE)

Up to 8 area titles can be assigned to specific scenes on the DIRECTION (NESW) menu or by
alphanumeric (USER) assignment. The area title is displayed under the camera ID on the monitor
screen when the camera turns to a position that has been assigned an area title. See page 28 for
details.

(4) Patrol-learn and Patrol Play (PATROL)

A set of manual operations is stored (LEARN), reproduced (PLAY) or turned inactive (OFF). Patrol
operation stops if SEQ, SORT or AUTO PAN is set to AUTO MODE on the SETUP menu. See page 30
for details.

(5) Alarm Input/Output (ALARM IN/OUT)

Alarm input and output are set on a submenu. Preset positions are assigned to ALARM IN 1 to 4.
When alarm inputs are supplied via the alarm input connector, the camera turns to the respective
positions. Then the camera sends output signals via the alarm output connector or the coaxial cable
to the external devices. The B/W mode may be chosen if light is insufficient. CNT-CLS (Contact
Closure) 1, 2 and COAX ALM OUT are used for alarm output setting. See page 32 for details.

13

(6) Password Lock (PASSWORD LOCK)

This setting controls access to the privacy zone to be free or limited. If PASSWORD LOCK is set to
ON, ON(DIS) or OFF(DIS) for PRIVACY ZONE appears on the SPECIAL 1 menu.

(7) Cleaning (CLEANING)

This is used for refreshing the electro-mechanical contacts built into the camera. Use this function for
maintenance when the camera has been directed at a specific spot or panned over a specific range
for a long time.

(8) Electronic Zoom (EL-ZOOM)

Up to 10-fold electronic zooming is available besides 22-fold optical zooming.

(9) Preset Alarm (PRESET ALM)

Alarm signals are output in the following cases if ON is selected.

• When a preset positioning sequence is completed while AUTO MODE is set to SEQ.

• When a preset positioning sequence is completed while AUTO MODE is set to SORT.

• When positioning to the starting point is completed while AUTO MODE is set to AUTO PAN.

• When the self-return function has returned the camera to its home position.

• When preset positioning is completed by manual operation.

• When positioning to the starting point is completed while PATROL is set to PLAY.

(10)Image Hold (IMAGE HOLD)

The camera picture remains as a still image on the monitor screen or until the camera reaches the
preset position. This function is useful for surveillance via a local area network.

● Camera

(1) Camera Identification (CAMERA ID)

You can use the camera identification to assign a name to the camera. The camera ID consists of up
to 16 alphanumeric characters. You can select whether to have the camera ID displayed on the moni­tor screen or not. See page 36 for the setting.

(2) Light Control (ALC/MANUAL)

You can select the mode for adjusting the lens iris. There are two modes as follows:
ALC: The lens iris is automatically adjusted according to the brightness of an object.

You can select one of two modes (BLC ON or BLC OFF) of backlight compensation.
Backlight compensation is available in the ALC mode. It eliminates strong background light
which makes the camera picture dark such as a spotlight.

MANUAL: The lens iris is fixed at the value that you have set regardless of the brightness of an

object.

• ALC Mode with BLC ON

An important object in a scene is usually placed in the center of the monitor screen. By activating this
feature, more photometric weight is given to the center of the screen than to the edge of the screen
(where bright backlight would most likely be located). In such a case, the object at the center of the
screen can be still clearly seen even though the backlight may vary.
See page 37 for the setting.

• ALC Mode with BLC OFF

This mode is effective when the main object in the scene is not located in the center of the screen but
a source of bright light is located near the center of the scene. In this mode, the picture is divided
into 48 areas that mask the light to keep the clarity of the picture.

14

Note: The result of field setup of the mask area and level adjustment is fed back (effected) to the lens

iris control in ALC mode.

(3) Shutter Speed (SHUTTER)

You can select a shutter speed from among 1/60 (OFF), 1/100, 1/250, 1/500, 1/1 000, 1/2 000,
1/4 000, and 1/10 000 seconds.
See page 39 for the setting.

(4) Gain Control (AGC)

You can set the gain of an image to automatic adjustment [AGC ON (LOW, MID, HIGH)] or fixed
(AGC OFF).
See page 39 for the setting.

(5) Electronic Sensitivity Enhancement (SENS UP)

The electronic sensitivity enhancement function varies the shutter speed to raise the sensitivity in low
light conditions.
You can select the following shutter speeds for SENS UP.
1/30 seconds (x2), 1/15 seconds (x4), 1/10 seconds (x6), 1/6 seconds (x10), 1/3.8 seconds (x16), or
1/1.9 seconds (x32).
See page 39 for the setting.
There are two modes for SENS UP as follows:

AUTO: If you select x32, the sensitivity is raised automatically up to x32.
FIX: If you select x32, the sensitivity is raised to a fixed x32.

Notes:

• Moving objects will appear blurred when shot in electronic sensitivity enhancement mode since
SENS UP is equivalent to reducing the shutter speed in a still picture camera.

• The horizontal and vertical resolution will be lowered in this mode.

• If the iris opening is too small, the SENS UP/AUTO mode will not function.

(6) Synchronization (SYNC)

You can select the internal sync (INT) mode or the line-lock sync (LL) mode. Additionally, this model
accepts the VD2 signal from a specified component. Whenever the VD2 signal is supplied to this
camera, the camera automatically switches to the VD2 sync mode.
When you select the line-lock (LL) mode, you can adjust vertical phase .
See page 40 for the setting.

Important Notices:

The priority of sync modes is given as follows:

1. Multiplexed vertical drive (VD2) (highest)

2. Line-lock (LL)

3. Internal sync (INT) (lowest)

Note: The priority of the automatic sync modes is the same as shown above.

(7) White Balance (WHITE BAL)

You can select either of three modes shown below for white balance adjustment:

• Auto-Tracing White Balance (ATW1)

In this mode, the color temperature is monitored continuously and thereby white balance is set auto­matically. The color temperature range for the proper white balance is approx. 2 600 - 6 000 K.
Proper white balance may not be obtained under the following conditions:

1. The color temperature is out of the 2 600 - 6 000 K range.

2. When the scene contains mostly high color temperature (bluish) objects, such as a blue sky.

3. When the scene is dim.

In these cases, select the AWC mode.

• Auto-Tracing White Balance (ATW2)

This mode enables the camera to trace the white balance when it is used in an area lit by sodium
lamps.

• Automatic White Balance Control (AWC)

In this mode, accurate white balance is obtained within a color temperature range of approx. 2 300 ­10 000 K.
See page 42 for the setting.

(8) Motion Detector (MOTION DET)

The motion detector detects motion in a scene by monitoring changes in the brightness level. You
can select the sensitivity level for the motion on the setup menu.
When the camera detects motion, it sends the alarm signal to the external equipment and stops at its
position for the preset dwell time.
See page 43 for the setting.

(9) Auto Focus (AF MODE)

The camera adjusts the focus automatically by sensing the center of the picture. S, M and L stand for
the size of the sensing area: Small, Middle and Large.
See page 44 for details.

MANUAL S, M, L: Auto-focus is activated only when the AF key on the controller is pressed.
AUTO S, M, L: Auto-focus is activated automatically while a manual pan, tilt or zoom operation is per-

formed.

Note: If SENS UP is set to ON except x2 FIX or x2 AUTO, the AUTO (S/M/L) mode is disabled and the

MANUAL (S/M/L) mode is automatically selected.

(10)Special 2 Menu (SPECIAL2)

This menu allows you to adjust and set up the following items and functions: chroma level, aperture
level, pedestal level, black and white function, digital noise reduction function and refresh function.
You can also reset your parameters to the factory default settings.
See page 45 for the setting.

3. Pan Offset

If the camera is replaced with a new one, the pan offset function
is used to adjust its positions to be the same as before except
patrol setting.
The system controller can download or upload the preset position
data.
Caution: The preset data for other cameras (WV-CS850A for

example) is incompatible with WV-CW864's. WV-CW864's
preset data will be destroyed if you upload the conventional
data. If this happened, reset the WV-CW864 to the default
settings. Download the factory settings into the controller and
upload the correct preset data newly to the initialized WV­CW864.
