The intelligent WV-CW974 Outdoor Color Dome Camera from Panasonic integrates an outdoor housing with IP66 approval, a 360 degree high-speed rotating platform and a 30x optical zoom lens. The camera features a new Template Matching algorithm, which makes the Auto Tracking of moving subjects more powerful. The camera provides high-accuracy detection of individuals by memorizing the characteristics of the subject including color, shape and contrast. Featuring not only pan and tilt but also smooth zoom gearing, the camera can also capture subjects more clearly. Users can operate the tracking lock to identify individuals on screen at the push of a button with an optional System Controller. Additionally, the masking feature can prevent unnecessary tracking by properly setting the tracking range in advance.
