Panasonic incorporates the Ultra HD 4K chip 12 mp to their new omnidirectional cameras

Based on the new Ultra HD 4K chip from 12 Megapixel, Panasonic has developed the WV-SFN480 omnidirectional cameras (for indoors) and WV-SFV481 (Anti-vandal for outdoor) with this powerful resolution.

The new Ultra HD 4K resolution cameras from Panasonic, with the WV-SFN480 indoor installation model and with WV-SFV481 vandal-proof housing for outdoor application, produce a 3x3K fisheye image of 9 megapixels to 15 SPF and a fisheye image of 4 megapixels to 30 FPS to deliver ultra-high resolution at standard frame rates.

These models feature the new Ultra HD 4K chip from 12 Megapixel, that provides clarity both in the center and at the edges of the image, which translates into greater coverage with fewer cameras, with accurate color reproduction and great performance in very low-light environments. The sensor 1/1,7 inches works at 0,05 Lux in black and white mode, enabling real-time day/night switching as a high-performance, uninterrupted surveillance solution.

Developed in collaboration with the Broadcast division & ProAV de Panasonic, the cameras incorporate the new ABF structure (Auto Back Focus), Designed specifically for fixed-lens cameras, ensuring optimal focus in day or night environments and helping to simplify installation.

The Ultra HD 4K processor built into these omnidirectional cameras allows them to generate image-corrected videos in various screen formats, with the ability to encode up to four H.264 streams simultaneously and offer JPEG mode to ensure maximum flexibility. In addition, incorporate non-centralized recording functions via a single SDXC memory card slot, offering flexible recording modes, Including alarm and auxiliary recording in the event of a network failure.

Retail Applications

Panasonic Ultra HD 4K omnidirectional cameras feature heatmap-based analysis functionality that allows you to add a history of movements to a scene and indicate dwell time using an intuitive set of overlapping colors. They also include a two-way virtual twelve-line people counting function to aid in quantification activities within a scene.

With the Moving Object Removal Function (MOR) Moving elements can be masked to identify static objects behind. This unique tool allows you to focus only on the background image to, For example, highlight abandoned objects as they appear and delete all other items. It can also be used for privacy purposes by masking or removing moving objects within the scene.

These analytics features are an option to gain insight into people's behavior in retail environments by tracking their movement in public spaces. The cameras can thus be used as an analytics-oriented marketing platform for, For example, Target targeted campaigns and measure their effectiveness based on sales data, traffic patterns and even age and gender recognition, with data privacy assurance through encryption motion.
