MPEG-4 & JPEG Dual Stream Capable. For high-level 24-hour surveillance, the WV-NP1004 Megapixel Color Network Camera.

Panasonic introduces the new WV-NP1004 Mega Pixel Color Network Camera with a 1.25 megapixel CCD. Dual streaming delivers both the seamless motion of MPEG-4 and the high precision of JPEG. Just as you expect from Panasonic, the first to offer Auto Back

Focus, this camera is also loaded with advanced features such as the SD Memory Card backup in case of network problems. With 600 lines of horizontal resolution, high quality analog output is a given. Add the combination of networked operation convenience and

high reliability, and there's no question about it; the WV-NP1004 is ideal, not only for bank, office building, shopping mall, airport, and school surveillance applications, but also for other high-quality image transmission services. 

Equipped with Progressive Scan 1.25 Megapixel CCD 

This 1,280 x 960 pixel CCD uses progressive scan to smoothly reproduce images of moving subjects. Plus, if we compare
its 1,280 x 960 JPEG images with conventional VGA (640 x 480) JPEG images, we find that for the same camera position,
the image covers a four-times wider area. 

Four Times Wider Area

(Same Camera Position)

One camera covers a wider area.

MPEG-4/JPEG Dual Streaming 

This camera allows real time monitoring in MPEG-4 (QVGA 320 x 240: Max. 30 fps) while at the same time shooting
high-resolution JPEG (960 x 720: Max. 7.5 fps) images. While supporting a highly efficient network environment, 
it also provides the high reliability required by surveillance applications. 

Transmits at High Frame Rate 

In Partial Scan Mode, this camera can capture VGA(640 x 480) MPEG-4/JPEG images and output them over your network at 30 fps.

(For details, please see Frame Rate Chart.)

Day/Night Switching for 24-hour Surveillance

As the area around the camera darkens, it automatically switches to
black and white mode.
Then, when the lighting gets
brighter, it automatically
switches back to full-color
mode, allowing use of a
single camera for 24-hour
surveillance.

In Lighting as Low as 0.06 lux

(B/W mode, F1.4)

When using the optional F1.4 lens, color mode captures clear images in lighting
as low as 1.0 lux (0.1 fc). In black and white mode, the lighting can be as low
as 0.06 lux (0.006 fc). Sensitivity can be electronically enhanced up to 32x.

Auto Image Stabilizer Reduces Image Blurring

The Auto Image Stabilizer feature automatically adjusts for
camera shake caused by
strong wings or vibration
from passing trains or
trucks, keeping images
clear and easy to read.

600 TV Lines Horizontal Resolution

(in Color Mode)

Analog output resolution is 600 TV lines in color mode, 780 TV lines in black
and white. 

Scene Change Detection Alerts You to 
Interference with Cameras

This feature sends an alarm if the camera is covered
with a cloth, a spray applied to the lens, the camera
direction is changed or the camera's lens is removed. 

Privacy Zone Masking for Up to Eight Locations

When the area under surveillance includes, for example, private homes, up to
eight locations can be hidden to address privacy concerns. 

Auto Back Focus for Just Right Focus 24 Hours a Day

This features adjusts the position of the CCD as 
the camera switches to black and white mode, 
keeping focus sharp and clear. In addition, one-
push Auto Focus largely eliminates the need for 
manual focus adjustment during installation. 
Focus can also be adjusted remotely, using 
the setup menu or optional controller.

Motion Detection Warns of Movement in the Area Under Surveillance

You can set up to four search areas as well as sensitivity and direction. An
alarm signal is transmitted when motion is detected.  

Advanced 24-Hour Surveillance Features 

Cameras can be preset to respond as desired to alarms from external sensors,
Scene Change Detection and Motion Detection sensors built in to the cameras,
or command alarms from other equipment transmitted over the LAN. 

External Device Operation

Signals transmitted from the alarm output connector on the back of the camera can be
used to activate lights, buzzers or other external devices. 

FTP Server Forwarding

JPEG images can be forwarded to a designated FTP server (10-5,000 frames/ 0.1 fps - 1
fps refresh rate). 

Alarm E-mail Notification

E-mail alarms can be sent to up to four e-mail addresses. Mail subject lines can be up to
50 characters long. Mail body text can be up to 200 characters long. 

Automatic Alarm Transmission

Alarm signals can be transmitted automatically to the Network Disk Recorder WJ-ND300,
e.g., to switch to a higher frame rate. 

SD Memory Card Slot 

If your network crashes, these cameras can automatically backup*
surveillance images on the SD Memory Card (option). You will still
be able to check images captured while the network was down. 

* Only when images are being transmitted regularly to an FTP server.

Authorized Access Management Features

Access can be authorized for up to eight IP hosts and restricted by name and
password to up to 16 users. Each host or user can be granted any of three
levels of access.

Three Access Levels

• Administrator

............. Access to all operations and settings

• Camera Control

.......... Access to camera display and camera controls 

• Live Image

.................. Access to image display only
