Panasonic: WV-SW598

The new WV-SW598 from Panasonic comes with a set of features that permit it to be installed outside in challenging climatic conditions. The casing comes with a so-called rain wash coating that amounts to an unpaid window cleaner coming by every time it rains. The coating ensures that flatter water droplets take dust and dirt with them when they roll down the outer housing as they cannot form the usual globular shape on the special surface coating.

The super high resolution of the camera at Full HD / 1920 x 1080 pixels ensures that fine detail is maintained, and transmitted at up to 30 fps over multiple H.264 (high profile) and JPEG streams that allow simultaneous real time monitoring and high resolution recording by the new Uniphier, Panasonic’s proprietary LSI platform.
