    							-5- This Color CCTV Camera is a video surveillance device
    that incorporates a 1/4-type {1/4} CCD, a 30x zoom
    lens, preset and pan and tilt capabilities in a dome
    configuration.
    ■Super Dynamic 3 3
    (SUPER-D 3 3
    )
    SUPER-D 3can capture clear images of subjects
    whose illumination is extremely different (page 28). 
    ■Built-in Automatic Tracking Function
    A pan, tilt, and zoom-linked automatic tracking function
    ensures smooth auto tracking operations. 
    A mask feature helps to reduce the chance of error by
    letting you mask specific parts of the image from the
    detection area.
    ■New DSP for High Sensitivity
    A new noise reduction system lowers minimum
    illuminance to 0.5 lux{fc} in the color mode and 0.04
    lux{fc} in the black and white mode. 
    ■Auto Night time Switching to Black
    and White Mode 
    The camera can be configured to switch to the black
    and white mode automatically under low light condi-
    tions for clear images, even at night. 
    ■Digital Flip 
    Normally, a camera needs to stop when it points
    straight down during a tilt operation. With digital flip,
    however, the camera is able to tilt from 0° to 180° in a
    single motion. This makes it possible to track subjects
    passing directly under the camera more smoothly. 
    ■Privacy Zone Function 
    The privacy zone function can mask specific areas of
    the scene from view. 
    ■Patrol Function 
    The patrol function can store manual camera move-
    ment routines for automatic playback. For example,
    you can set the camera the movements of the people
    to be monitored, by replaying the stored parameters
    complicated move-ments are done automatically. 
    ■Camera Position Memory
    The system can be configured with up to 256 camera
    positions. A particular camera position can be selected
    and viewed by entering the applicable preset number
    on the system controller 10-key pad. 
    ■Motion Detection 
    The system can be configured so any motion on the
    monitor screen during surveillance causes output of an
    alarm signal. 
    This function can be used to structure a system with a
    VCR that records images of nighttime intruders. 
    ■Internal Heating Fan
    Prevents snow and frost from building up on the dome
    cover.*1
    ■Waterproofing Specifications
    Outdoor enclosure based on IP66*2of IEC60529
    standard.
    *1 Does not operate in environments with ambient
    temperatures under -40 °C {-40 °F}. In environments
    over -40 °C {-40 °F} defrosting may not function if
    wind and snow are too strong. Use it with the power
    on continuously to keep the temperature inside the
    camera over -10 °C {14 °F}.
    *2 Waterproof structure resistant to powerful jetting as
    classified by the International Protection code.

    							Precautions
    1. Do not attempt to disassemble the camera.
    To prevent electric shock, do not remove screws or
    covers.
    There are no user-serviceable parts inside.
    Ask qualified service personnel for servicing.
    2. Handle the camera with care.
    Do not misuse the camera. Avoid striking, shaking,
    etc. The camera could be damaged by improper
    handling or storage.
    3. Install the camera at a location that is able to
    support its total weight.
    Installing at a location that is not strong enough can
    cause the camera to fall down or tip over. Be sure
    to reinforce weak locations sufficiently before
    installing the camera.
    4. Use the fall-prevention wires to reduce the risk
    of the camera falling down.
    Do not detach the fall-prevention wire securing the
    camera. Otherwise the camera could fall down,
    causing injury to persons and damage to the
    camera.5. Never aim the camera at the sun.
    Whether or not the camera is in use , never aim it at
    the sun or other extremely bright objects.
    Otherwise, blooming or smear may be caused.
    6. Never aim the camera at strong light sources for
    an extended period of time.
    A light source such as a spot light causes burn-in
    on the display screen. Failure to observe this may
    cause the image to become discolored due to
    deterioration of the color filter in the CCD.
    7. Do not operate the camera beyond the specified
    temperature, humidity or power source ratings.
    Do not use the camera in an extreme environment
    where high temperature or high humidity exists. Do
    not place the camera near heat sources such as
    radiators, stoves or other units that produce heat.
    Use the camera under conditions where tempera-
    ture is between –40 °C to +50 °C {–40 °F to 122 °F}
    and humidity is below 90 %.
    The input power source is 24 V AC 60 Hz.
    -6- The cameras auto tracking function operates by using
    image recognition. The client is responsible for
    understanding and applying the following warnings
    regarding installation and operation necessary to
    prevent losses due to malfunction or lack of detection
    as a result of unforeseeable aspects of the installation
    area. 
    • The cameras tracking function is for monitoring
    unknown intruders. It is not suitable for locations
    with large numbers of people such as intersections
    or retail stores. Be sure to confirm this before
    installing the camera.
    • Be sure to set the height of the camera under the
    detailed settings (page 41) of the auto-tracking
    function.
    • Install the camera in a horizontal configuration, with
    the dome pointed downwards. 
    • Install the camera securely so that it does not sway.
    High resolution operation may reduce performance. 
    • The camera cannot track well horizontally or directly
    below itself, so avoid this type of installation. 
    • Install the camera and adjust the view angle so that
    people do not move vertically on the screen.
    Vertical motion creates only small deviation on the
    screen and may not be detected.
    • Dirt or scratches on the dome cover make it difficult
    to see the image which may reduce performance.
    Periodically clean the dome cover. 
    About the Auto-Tracking Function 
    • Rain or snow on the dome cover may reduce
    performance. Consider placing the camera under
    eaves or some kind of cover. 
    • Use the electronic sensitivity enhancement (page 29)
    if using the camera at night (approximately 10 lx). 
    • Use the detection area mask (page 42) to avoid
    detection errors caused by the motion of trees or
    traffic. 
    • Auto-tracking may start for vehicles or other non-
    human movements, however, this is not a
    malfunction. Adjust the view angle or use detection
    area masking (page 42). 
    • Adjust the view angle or use detection area
    masking (page 42) if there is strong back lighting,
    neon lighting or other flashing lights, or reflection on
    glass or the surface of a road in the image. 
    • To detect people, adjust the view angle so that the
    people are about 1/5 of the vertical height of the
    screen. 
    • Periodically replace consumable parts (page 7).
    The pan, tilt and zoom functions operate in
    unison to track moving subjects smoothly.

    ■Operating precautions
    ■What to do if OVER HEAT appears on the display.
    This message indicates that the inside of the camera
    has become extremely hot. 
    Immediately turn off the camera and contact your
    retailer. 
    ■What to do if WARM UP-PLEASE WAIT.** appears
    on the display.
    This message indicates that the inside of the camera is
    cold. 
    Please wait for a short time until the heating fan warms
    up the inside of the camera. 
    The countdown shown as the numbers in “**” in quotes
    is a guideline of the time required. When the value
    reaches “0” the inside of the camera is warm and the
    on-screen display disappears. The camera is then
    reset and operation is normal. ■Note the following to ensure long-term trouble-
    free operation
    Long operation under high temperatures and high
    humidity can cause components to deteriorate and
    shorten camera life. 
    Make sure the camera is installed in a location where it
    is not directly exposed to heat from a radiator, heater,
    etc. 
    ■About the Camera Cleaning Function
    Prolonged use can lead to noise on the monitor and
    divergence of preset positions. 
    If such conditions persist even after you perform
    camera cleaning (page 40), use the special setup
    menu to execute the “REFRESH” operation (page 48). 
    ■Do not allow anything to forcefully hit the dome
    cover
    Anything hitting the dome cover may damage the
    camera or cause leaks. 
    ■CCD color filter burn-in
    Intense light concentrated on one spot for a long
    period can cause deterioration of the CCD internal
    color filters, and discoloration of the affected part. Even
    if the camera position is changed from a fixed position,
    the discoloration at the previous location of the
    concentrated light will remain on the screen. 
    ■Do not point the camera at a strong light source. 
    Intense light such as that produced by a spotlight
    concentrated on one part of the screen can cause
    blooming (rainbow around the strong light) or smearing
    (vertical stripes above and below the strong light). 
    ■Pictures directly below the camera 
    A circular object appears in the center of the picture, it
    is caused by the shape of the dome cover and is not a
    malfunction. 
    ■Do not aim the camera at the same object for a
    long time.
    Burn-in of an image may be caused on the fluorescent
    screen of CRT.
    ■Handle the camera carefully.
    Do not drop the camera, or subject it to strong impact
    or vibration. Such conditions create the risk of
    malfunction.
    Smearing Bright SubjectBlooming
    8. Do not install the camera near the air outlet of an
    air conditioner.
    The lens may become cloudy due to condensation
    if the camera is used under the following
    conditions.
    • Rapid temperature fluctuations by switching the air
    conditioner on and off.
    • Rapid temperature fluctuations due to frequent door
    opening and closing.
    • Use in an environment where eyeglasses become
    foggy.
    • Use in a room filled with cigarette smoke or dust.
    If the lens becomes cloudy due to condensation,
    remove the dome cover and wipe all moist surfaces
    with a soft cloth.
    9. Consumables
    Parts having contacts such as the lens-drive
    motors, cooling fan motor and slip-rings inside the
    camera are subject to wear with time. Please ask
    the nearest service center about replacement and
    maintenance of such parts.
    10. Do not aim the camera at the same object for a
    long time.
    Burn-in of an image may be caused on the
    fluorescent screen of CRT.
    11. Self-diagnosis Function
    If the camera continues operating abnormally for 30
    seconds or more due to such an accident as
    external noise, the camera will automatically reset
    its power. In the case it happens frequently, check
    if there would be any environmental cause.
    * Matsushita Electric Industrial Co., Ltd. herewith

    							-8- ■Consumables
    Parts having contacts such as the lens-drive motors,
    cooling fan motor and slip-rings inside the camera are
    subject to wear with time. Contact the nearest service
    dealer about replacement and maintenance of such
    parts.
    ■Cleaning the camera
    Turn off the camera and wipe it with a soft cloth. If the
    camera is very dirty, wipe it off gently with a soft cloth
    moistened with a weak solution of water and a neutral
    kitchen detergent. Wring all excess liquid from the
    cloth before wiping the camera. Next, wipe off all
    remaining solution with a soft, dry cloth. 
    Contact a qualified service person before cleaning the
    lenses. (Lenses do not move during cleaning.)
    A dirty dome cover or lens causes deterioration of
    picture quality. Use lens cleaning paper (like the type
    available for cleaning eyeglasses or a camera lens) to
    clean the lens. 
    The dome cover is particularly susceptible to damage.
    Gently wipe it with a soft cloth. 
    ■Downloading (saving) or uploading (recovering)
    camera setting information
    Camera setting information that can be downloaded to
    the system controller etc, includes existing preset
    position settings and menu settings. However, the
    following items are not included. 
    • Patrol function (page 37) 
    • Area title function (page 39) 
    • Blemish compensation pattern (page 47)
    • RS485 settings (page 20) 
    • Password settings (page 50) 
    Be sure the camera is not moving and aimed at
    something that moves very little (like a wall) before
    downloading camera preset data to the system
    controller etc. or uploading downloaded data to the
    camera.
    Uploading of WV-CW974 preset data to other models
    (e.g. WV-CW864, WV-CW864A) may cause an error
    and failure of the uploading process.
    ■Self-diagnosing Function
    If abnormal operation due to external noise or some
    other reason continues for more than 30 seconds, the
    camera will automatically reset itself and restore
    normal operation. Reset operation the same
    initialization routine that is performed when the camera
    is turned on. If the reset is required too often, it could
    mean that the camera is installed in a location where
    there is a large amount of external noise. This can
    cause malfunction of the camera, so you should
    contact a qualified service person or system installer
    as soon as possible.
    ■Combining devices 
    There is a limit to the number of devices that can be
    put together in one configuration. Check the
    specifications and outer dimensions before hooking up
    the devices. For more information, see the “Panasonic
    CCTV System Catalogue” or consult your retailer. 
    ■Installation precautions
    ■Be sure to perform installation work in accor-
    dance with proper technical standards for electric 
    installation.
    ■Camera Installation Location 
    Discuss the installation location for the camera with
    your retailer, and select a wall, ceiling or other location
    that is strong enough to support the installation.
    ■About ceiling mounts and brackets
    Bolts for mounting the ceiling mount Attachment Pipe
    to a ceiling or wall are not provided.
    You need to purchase them separately in accordance
    with the materials and strength of the place you are
    installing the camera.
    • Check the installation surface, and the anchors and
    bolts to be used for sufficient strength.
    • Gypsum board and wood surfaces tend to be
    weak, and should not be used as an installation
    surface. If use of such a surface for installation is
    unavoidable, be sure to take adequate measures to
    reinforce the surface.
    ■Tightening the Screws
    • Screws should be tightened sufficiently in
    accordance with the materials and structure of the
    installation location. 
    • Do not use an impact driver to drive screws. Doing
    so can damage the screws.
    • Drive the screws as straight as possible. After
    tightening the screws, visually inspect them to
    make sure there is no unevenness and that each
    screw is tight.
    ■This camera is designed for use in a hanging con-
    figuration only. Using it in an upright or inclined
    configuration can cause malfunction and shorten
    the life of the camera.
    ■Install the camera in a horizontal configuration,
    with the dome pointed downwards. 
    ■Be sure to remove this apparatus if it is not in use.
    ■Never install or use the camera in the following
    locations. 
    • Near a swimming pool or other areas where
    chemicals are used
    • Food preparation areas and other locations where
    there are large amounts of steam vapor and oil, in
    flammable atmospheres, other special environments
    • Areas where radiation, X-rays, strong electric
    waves, or magnetism is generated 
    • At sea, in coastal areas, or in areas where corrosive
    gas is being generated 
    • Areas outside of the allowable ambient operating
    temperature range (-40 °C to +50 °C {-40 °F to 122
    °F})

    to strong vibration (This camera is not designed for
    use in a vehicle.) 
    • Near an air conditioner outlet or any areas subject to
    sudden changes in temperature. (Such conditions
    can cause clouding and condensation formation on
    the dome cover.) 
    ■Remove the protective sheet from the dome cover
    after the installation work is complete.
    ■Wiring power to the camera
    The camera does not have a power switch. During the
    electrical work, configure the power supply to the
    camera so it can be turned on and off.
    ■Noise interference considerations 
    When using a power line that is greater than 120 V AC
    and wiring that is longer than 1 meter, wiring should be
    routed using a separate metal conduit. (The metal
    conduit must be earth grounded.) 
    Important: 
    •Before setting up the camera for a configuration
    where the cameras RS485 data port is used for
    camera control (pan, tilt, etc.) by the system
    controller, the cameras DIP switches must be
    configured to specify the unit number and
    communication parameters. (page 13) 
    If DIP switch setting is not performed, the
    system controller control will not be possible
    and camera setup will have to be performed
    again. Be sure to check the DIP switch settings
    before setting up the camera.
    Note:If you need to connect a ground, be sure to do it
    before you connect the main power. Also, when removing
    the ground, be sure to disconnect the main power. 
    ■Beware of high humidity. 
    If the camera is installed when humidity is very high,
    moisture may collect in the camera and cause the
    dome to become foggy. If the dome becomes foggy,
    remove it when the humidity is low and eliminate the
    moisture inside the camera, and then replace the
    dome. (page 6, 7)
    ■About the heater 
    The camera comes with a built-in heater so it can be
    used in cold regions. The heater automatically turns on
    when the internal temperature goes below 10 °C {50
    °F}. However, snow and frost that collect on the dome
    cover may not melt if the temperature falls below -40
    °C {-40 °F}. Care needs to be taken regarding the
    ambient and internal temperature when using the
    camera in cold regions.
    ■About effects on image quality
    The camera does not have a wiper. If the camera is
    installed in the following conditions image quality may
    deteriorate or the image may be invisible. (1) In the rain
    The picture may be hard to see if the wind blows
    rain onto the dome cover while it is raining. 
    (2) In the snow
    When it snows, snow may collect on the dome
    cover and block some of the picture. (The amount
    of snow that collects on the dome cover depends
    on the quality and amount of the snow.) 
    (3) Effects of dust and automobile exhaust 
    Airborne dust and automobile exhaust, from the
    location where the camera is installed, may cause
    dirt to build up on the dome cover and reduce the
    quality of the picture. 
    ■Important hints to help with the installation 
    • A self-cleaning function is activated (PAN/TILT/
    ZOOM/FOCUS) when the camera is turned on. 
    • There is a limit to the number of devices that can be
    put together in one configuration. Check the ratings
    and outer dimensions before hooking up the
    devices.
