Panasonic WV-SW150 Series Security Camera User Manual


 
IMPORTANT
Select “Not use” when operating without a SD memory card.
When the setting is changed between “Use” and “Not use” while another user is during operation, the
operation will be canceled.
Before removing the SD memory card from the camera, it is necessary to select “Not use” first.
After inserting the SD memory card, it is necessary to select “Use” to use the SD memory card.
When playing or downloading images saved on the SD memory card, it is necessary to select “On” for
“Save logs” on the [Log] tab (®page 69) in advance.
When the image refresh interval is short, notification/recording timing or interval may become incorrect.
Notification/recording may also not be performed correctly as configured when multiple users are
receiving images. In this case, set the refresh interval longer.
There are limited times to overwrite on an SD memory card. When having a high frequency of
overwriting, the lifetime of the SD memory card may become shorter.
A lifetime of a SD memory card should be influenced by the number of the image files stored and log
savings on the SD memory card. Selecting H.264 for “Recording format” can reduce the number of
files to be stored on the SD memory card.
The data writing speed will go down after data are repeatedly written down on an SD memory card.
[Recording format]
Select “JPEG” or “H.264” for the video encoding format of image data to be recorded on the SD memory card.
JPEG: Records still image data.
H.264: Records video data in the MP4 video encoding format. Audio will not be recorded.
Default: JPEG
Note
When “H.264” is selected, it will become impossible to transmit images with the settings of MPEG-4 or
H. 264(2).
When “H.264” is selected, the settings for “H.264(2)” on the [JPEG/H.264] tab of the “Image/Audio”
page will be changed to the settings for “H.264 recording”.
When the setting value of “Video encoding format” on the [JPEG/H.264] tab of the “Image/Audio” page
is changed from “H.264” to “MPEG-4”, the setting value of “Recording format” will automatically be
changed to “JPEG”.
When “H.264” is selected, the priority band may not be maintained if “H.264/MPEG-4(2)” is selected
for “Priority stream” - “Stream type” on the [System] tab of the “User mng.” page.
When using the SD memory recording function of a Panasonic network disk recorder, select “JPEG”
for “Recording format”.
When the setting of “Recording format” is changed between “JPEG” and “H.264”, format the SD
memory card. (®page 59)
Due to the difference in file formats, the indication of remaining capacity of the SD memory card differs
between the cases when “JPEG” is selected and when “H.264” is selected for “Recording format”.
When “H.264” is selected for “Recording format”, the following settings in “H.264 recording”; Image
capture size, Frame rate, Max bit rate, Image quality, and Refresh interval will be read from the settings
in “H.264(2)”. When “2s”, “3s”, “4s” or “5s” is selected for “Refresh interval” of “H.264(2)”, “Refresh
interval” for “H.264 recording” will be set to “1s” after changing “Recording format” to “H.264”.
When the selection for “Recording format” is changed to “H.264”, the setting of “Save logs” (the [Log]
tab on the “Basic” page ®page 69) is changed together.
When “H.264” is selected for “Recording format”, alarm images are saved in accordance with the
settings of “Pre alarm” and “Post alarm (recording) duration” on the [Alarm] tab of the “Alarm” page.
When “H.264” is selected for “Recording format”, the name of the saved file will be given automatically.
