Panasonic WV-NP244 Specification

MPEG-4 & JPEG Dual Stream. Plus, PoE (Power over Ethernet) for Easy Installation.

Network Security Color Camera

WV-NP244

Panasonic introduces the new WV-NP244 network camera
that is both MPEG-4 and JPEG dual stream compatible.
MPEG-4 makes viewing video smooth and seamless, and is
multicast/unicast switchable to fit your application. When
using JPEG, 640 x 480 (VGA) images can be transmitted at
up to 30 fps. Plus, with progressive scan in both MPEG-4 and
JPEG modes, images of moving subjects are captured in high
fidelity. With the optional F1.2 lens, these cameras operate in
lighting as low as 1.1 lux (0.11 fc). In addition electronic
sensitivity can be increased up to 16 times, while a 3x digital
zoom allows you to view subjects’ up-close. A built-in
high sensitivity microphone with on/off functionality
provides clear audio capabilities.

The WV-NP244 is equipped with PoE (Power over
Ethernet) IEEE802.3af, allowing power and signals to be
transmitted over the same cable, thus eliminating the need to
install a separate power source for each camera. This feature
makes installation as simple as plugging the cable into the
HUB. Using the multi screen display mode, up to 8 cameras
can be monitored from a single browser. The digital motion
detector feature transmits an alarm signal when moving
subjects enter the scene. When combined with the optional
Network Disk Recorder; WJ-ND300, these cameras make it
incredibly easy to construct an automatic video surveillance
system. Plus, the SD memory card slot allows you to back up
images on an SD memory card in case of network failure.

So handy and so reliable, the WV-NP244 is ideal for an

endless variety of networked surveillance applications.
