The WV-CF284/WV-CF294 series are surveillance color CCTV cameras equipped with a 1/4-
inch CCD solid-state image sensor with 768 of horizontal pixels.
These cameras can be mounted on a ceiling or a wall without any difficulty.
Features
WV-CF284 is provided with the adaptive black stretch function, high resolution of 540 TV lines
(horizontal), and minimum illuminance of 0.9 lx (F1.4) thanks to the adoption of the newly-devel-
oped digital signal processor.

Ask qualified service personnel for servicing.
Handle the camera with care.
Do not abuse the camera. Avoid striking,
shaking, etc. The camera could be damaged
by improper handling or storage.
Do not touch the dome cover with your
bare hands.
A dirty dome cover causes deterioration of
picture quality.
Cleaning the camera body
Turn the power off when cleaning of the cam-
era. Use a dry cloth to clean the camera.
Do not use strong abrasive detergent when
cleaning the camera body. When the dirt is
hard to remove, use a mild detergent and
wipe gently. Then, wipe off the remaining
detergent with a dry cloth.
Otherwise, it may cause discoloration. When
using a chemical cloth for cleaning, read the
caution provided with the chemical cloth
product.
Discoloration on the CCD color filter
When continuously shooting a bright light
source such as a spotlight, the color filter of
the CCD may have deteriorated and it may
cause discoloration. Even when changing the
fixed shooting direction after continuously
shooting a spotlight for a certain period, the
discoloration may remain.
Do not aim the camera at strong light
sources.
A light source such as a spot light causes a
blooming (light bleeding) or a smear (vertical
lines).
