Preface
About notations 
Features 
Introduction of newly developed high-resolution CCD 
The	introduction	of	the	newly	developed	CCD	with	976	horizontal	pixels	has	led	to	a	horizontal	res-
olution of as high as 650 TV lines.  
Super Dynamic 6 (SUPER-D6) 
For	photographic	subjects	which	contain	high	contrast	between	the	bright	and	dark	areas,	light	
compensation	on	the	pixel	level	will	result	in	more	natural-looking	images. 
High sensitivity achieved because of noise reduction function  
Sensitivity at the following minimum illuminations has been accomplished for color images because 
of the introduction of low noise circuit design (Lens (built-in): F1.3):  
0.08	lx	(color),	0.008	lx	(black-and-white)    
Day/Night conversion function equipped  
No  setup  change  is  required  at  night  because  the  image  automatically  changes  from  the  color 
mode	to	the	black-and-white	mode	at	low	illuminance.	Bright	images	can	be	captured	even	at	
night because of automatic switching of IR filters at low illuminance.  
Focus adjustment function equipped CF634 
Auto focus is achieved at installation of the camera or through menu operation. 
Motion detection function (VMD) equipped  
The motion of an object is detectable. The acts of covering the camera with a cloth, a cap or other 
acts and changing the camera direction during surveillance can be detected. 
Note:
	 •	The VMD function is not the dedicated function to prevent thefts, fires, etc. We are not responsible 
for any accidents or damages caused by applying the function for the above purposes. 
The  following  notations  are  used  when  describing  the  functions  limited  for  specific  models.  The 
functions without the notations are supported by all models. 
CF634 : The functions with this notation are available when using the model WV-CF634. CF624
: The functions with this notation are available when using the model WV-CF624. 
This product is a 1/3-type CCD color CCTV camera. Connection of this product to a video monitor 
allows users to use this product as a monitoring camera.  
•	WV-CF634:	with	color	/	black-and-white	mode	switch	function	and	back	focus	adjustment	function
•	WV-CF624:	with	color	/	black-and-white	mode	switch	function

monitor. This phenomenon is not trouble.  
Discoloration on the CCD color filter   
When  continuously  shooting  a  bright  light  
source  such  as  a  spotlight,  the  color  filter  of 
the  CCD  may  have  deteriorated  and  it  may 
cause  discoloration.  Even  when  changing  the 
fixed  shooting  direction  after  continuously 
shooting  a  spotlight  for  a  certain  period,  the 
discoloration may remain.  
Do not aim this product at strong light  
sources.   
A  light  source  such  as  a  spot  light  causes  a  
blooming  (light  bleeding)  or  a  smear  (vertical 
lines).
