Preface The network cameras WV-SF330 series and WV-SF340 series are designed to operate using a PC on a network (10BASE-T/100BASE-TX). By connecting to a network (LAN) or the Internet, images and audio from the camera can be monitored on a PC via a network.
Main functions H.264/MPEG-4 and JPEG triple encoding H.264/MPEG-4 dual stream output and JPEG output can be simultaneously provided. * Either H.264 or MPEG-4 is selectable. Wide dynamic range function This function compensates brightness so that it produces clearer images even if objects have various illumination intensities. Important: • When the wide dynamic range function is activated, noise may be increased in the dark area of the object.
