Face Detection and Mega Super Dynamic range technologies ensure clear and well focused facial images are always captured for consistently intelligible IDs, Panasonic says.
A further capability of SW155’s Face Detection functionality means that when a registered suspect face is observed by the camera head, XML data can automatically be sent to trigger an alarm in a compatible network video recorder, alerting security personnel.
Panasonic says this effectively “adds another set of eyes in a surveillance monitoring team, efficiencies are increased and costs are significantly reduced”.
The ONVIF-compliant SW155 provides 720p HD images at up to 30 IPS, and because the camera is powered by Panasonic UniPhier technology, concurrent H.264 and JPEG streams are transmitted meaning simultaneous real time monitoring and HD recording is possible.
Stream control
Prioritised Stream control enables a priority video stream so that when multiple recorders and client PCs are simultaneously accessing the camera, frame rates are continuously maintained and quality of service is ensured.
The SW155 also features Video Motion Detection, which can be programmed to trigger FTP image transfers, email alerts and other alarm outputs when motion images are detected in 4 areas with 15 sensitivity and 10 detection size levels.
The camera also features selectable light control modes so that 50Hz / 60Hz fluorescent lighting does not affect image quality.
Panasonic says the SW155’s “Wide Coverage capability ensures precise recording in targeted areas with a horizontal range of 104 deg and a vertical of 85 deg. This, in combination with the Privacy Zone that covers up to two private areas such as windows or entrances / exits, makes SW155 ideal where surveillance is needed in complicated site locations”.
