Panasonic's new network camera range combines 5MP resolution with the latest smart coding technology, which is capable of significantly reducing storage and network bandwidth. This 5MP 360 degree camera is part of our new i-PRO Extreme camera platform, such as of the new H.265 system.
Panasonic WV-S4550LPJ captures the highest quality images in some of the most challenging and dynamic environments due to its Super Dynamic 108dB. In particular, details at the edge of the fisheye, such as a person's face or an object, are much clearer with less distortion compared to other 360 degree camera models. This applies to both dark and bright image areas.
Thanks to the built-in IR LED, objects are still visible in a clear monochrome image in zero lux conditions with 10 m irradiation distance.
Intelligent Auto (iA) mode enables sharp images of moving objects through the automatical optimisation of the camera parameters for the best tuned image in various scenes (using full auto shutter, iris control, backlit compensation and auto image stabilization). The camera monitors scene dynamics and motion to adjust key camera settings automatically in real-time, reducing distortion such as motion blur on moving objects.
Adopting the latest H.265 Smart Coding technology, the system intelligently reduces bandwidth efficiency up to 95%*1 over H.264 for longer recording and less storage. Combined with the new frame rate control, Auto-VIQS, the cameras can reduce the amount of data by up to approx. 95% for still scenes and up to approx. 80% for moving scenes compared to the H.264 codec.
It also supports full data encryption streaming and is compliant to FIPS 140-2 Level 1 standards to keep your video secured. Our third partner certificate secures protection from cyber attacks, prevention of video leakage and data on communication networks.
This camera is designed for high endurance under extreme outdoor conditions and perfectly suitable for applications like transportation, surveillance in public spaces, logistics and much more.
