qman 0 Posted April 5, 2005 Yes, and it's pretty good for a network camera, but damm pricey as hell, around 1000.00 without lens. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
VJD 0 Posted April 6, 2005 You might be thinking about a different model. I don't believe it is a network camera. I have seen it retail for $425. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rory 0 Posted April 6, 2005 is this the upgrade to the 474?? They spec they only go to 0.06 lux in BW, where other models are 0.01 in BW such as some other Exviews, any ideas if these keep up to par with the exview as to low light capabilities? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
VJD 0 Posted April 6, 2005 Link to info on the SDIII technology.: ftp://ftp.panasonic.com/pub/Panasonic/cctv/SpecSheets/SDIII%20BrochurePrnt3105.pdf Is this the first camera to have Auto Back Focus? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

G22 0 Posted April 6, 2005 Looks pretty good. I was not aware of SDIII. Will have to check it out some more. We have the WV-CP474 and a WV-BP334 B/W cam and they are decent. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cctv_down_under 0 Posted April 7, 2005 The SD3 will be an awesome camera but always be carefull when considering lux ratings, you need to know the scene reflectance and at what IRE the rating was taken at, many cheat but they are supposed to mention the scene reflectance value and the IRE, a lot cheat at 50 IRE Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MetzLyov 0 Posted April 8, 2005 This model changes SDII completely. All Panasonic SDII are gone and being replaced by SDIII. As matter of fact, their low cost domes are gone too and if you want a Panasonic dome, you get their high end only... No replacements yet.. We have already used few of them and they look ok... Not sure if it is better that SDII version, but we will wait and see... The only major difference, according to Panasonic, is better "filtering" ---- I think since Bosch came with an excellent condender, Panasonic is trying to show that they have something better.... I DO NOT THINK SO! Pricing is $20 more than SDII version of the cameras, but not worth it. Sanyo and Ganz just introduced cameras that I think are very good condenders as well and at much more cost effective price! My advise - keep away from Panasonic for the next 3 months at least. They are "re-organizing".... Any order we place, it takes them at least 3 weeks to get product. No tech support help and no customer service. According to my information, they already shut down their New Jersey and Seattle locations and slowly moving everything and everyone to Chicago... Besides them dumping their reps, they also eliminated many older jobs within... And they always want to charge the most possible....???? Levon Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
