SD5 achieves exceptional image quality by combining 128x wider dynamic range with greater low-light sensitivity (0.3 lux), more resolution (650 lines color), and the implementation of Adaptive Black Stretch (ABS) technology to compensate for dark areas. The cameras are available in vandal-resistant fixed dome or fixed box formats.
Exceptional resolution of 650 TV lines in color and 700 TV lines in B/W mode provides superb image clarity. Even the smallest details can be seen clearly.
Adaptive Black Stretch technology increases the visibility of subjects in dark areas of a video scene without degrading image quality in the brighter areas. This is accomplished by analyzing the illumination map/signal level distribution and adjusting gamma correction for each area separately. The results: clear, more visible images.
An impressive low minimum illumination of 0.3 lux allows viewing of color images even when the lighting is dim. Further enhancement can be realized with the sens up feature (up to 32x).
The Auto Back Focus (ABF) feature automatically adjusts the cameras CCD position when changing from color to B/W mode to ensure optimal focus and sharp images. In addition, the one-push button featured on each camera drastically reduces the time required to focus the camera during installation. .
Ti-VMD: Panasonic’s built-in video motion intelligence provides more efficient and reliable surveillance and prevents the loss of vital scenes. Intelligent Video Motion Detection use advanced motion analytics to accurately detect motion within a targeted area. Object detection: i-VMD also features object detection for items that are removed or left behind. The abandoned or removed object can be detected and indicated via a red frame to alert the user of a possible problem (see examples below).
