Panasonic Fixed Color Cameras.

Overview

For applications requiring flexible pan, tilt, and zoom functionality, Panasonic offers a line of cameras that deliver extraordinary capabilities in both image quality, and day-to-day performance.

24-hour surveillance with Day/Night feature
The Panasonic Day/Night feature is especially useful where you need to capture images under highly variable lighting conditions - such as brilliant mid-day sun, and dim night lighting - without using different cameras. In bright light, the camera can operate in normal color mode, then automatically changes to a special low-light black-and-white mode when the light fades at dusk. The cameras can also be switched to b/w operation manually, or by pre-set timer to suit special requirements.

Next-generation Super Dynamic III for extreme contrast scenes
SDIII elevates dynamic range to 128x that of conventional cameras to capture unsurpassed quality images even in harsh lighting conditions typically experienced when outside sunlight and indoor light sources overlap - such as light filtering through open doors, building lobbies with windows or glass doors and ATM vestibules - and outdoors in areas that transit from daylight to the dark of night with bright headlights and street lights.

A newly designed double speed CCD with advanced Digital Signal Processing (DSP) achieves this by capturing the dark and bright portions of an image separately, and then recombining the two images into a single viewable image frame. The addition of advanced digital contrast correction further optimizes the composite image's gray scale for refined definition and balance.

SDIII's powerful intelligent processing also drives numerous unique DSP features such as Auto Back Focus, which continuously adjusts camera focus when switching from color to black-and-white operation and back again to color - automatically. This is achieved through an innovative mechanism that actually moves the position of the CCD within the camera to achieve the most accurate focus attainable in the given lighting - an industry first because the technology resides inside the camera, not in an external device. Additional DSP advancements include Auto Image Stabilizer for camera deployment in areas that may be prone to wind and other sources of vibration; Scene Change Detection that sends an alarm when the camera's lens is obstructed or the camera angle changed without authorization; wider bandwidth for improved resolution to 540 lines (color); Adaptive Digital Noise Reduction to minimize image streaking when viewing moving images; and extreme low light sensitivity in color (0.5 lux) and BW (0.06 lux). It's a combination of performance features unique to SDIII cameras.

Motion Detection for event recording
In many models, built-in motion detection can trigger recording or other alarms. The feature can be set to respond to motion in given areas of the screen, as well as motion of a certain duration.
