Flexibility
Use of a LAN allows cameras to be placed wherever you like.
It also permits live monitoring, search, playback and recording from
a personal computer.
Scalability
Use of an IP Network also reduces the number of steps required
to add cameras and connect them to a hub. With our Optional
WV-AS65 Management PC Software, systems can incorporate up
to 100 WJ-ND300 Network Disk Recorders and up to 3,200
cameras.
Cost Efficiency
Because the WJ-ND300 utilized an existing network infrastructure,
it sharply reduces costs in both time and money compared to
systems that require dedicated cabling. The use of ordinary PCs
eliminates the need for dedicated monitors. Plus, with hard disk
storage, the burden of replacing video tapes or other consumables
is also much lighter.
Built with the Future in Mind
As digital networks become a pervasive component of
contemporary life, the potential for networked video surveillance
systems is huge. As an example, the WJ-ND300 is designed to
take full advantage of new networking advances and to simplify,
the integration of other surveillance applications (i.e. access
control system).

High Image Quality, High Frame Rate
Examples with maximum number of cameras
*Firmware upgrade available in 1st Quarter 2006 to support MPEG4.
Frame rate up to 960 ips/system for MPEG4*(4CIF) and up to 160
ips/system for JPEG (VGA). Supports full-motion live monitoring with
MPEG4*(4CIF) at 30 ips x 32ch and JPEG (VGA) at 30 ips x 5ch.
High Capacity Storage
The WJ-ND300 comes standard with 250GB of storage capacity.
And can be configured with 3 additional hard disk drive for 1TB of
storage. Additionally, with optional WJ-HDE300 Extension Units,
a system can have up to 7TB of storage.
A Wealth of Advanced Surveillance Features
To increase surveillance efficiency the WJ-ND300 recorder
provides a full array of Schedule, Event, Emergency, and External
Timer recording features, multiple parameter filters that provide
accelerated search, and supports E-mail notification via FTP.
High-level User Management
The WJ-ND300 allows for registration of up to 32 users with individual user
ID and password. Operations and access to cameras and functions can be
restricted for each user. The host authorization function blocks access and
operation from unregistered IP addresses for additional security.
More Efficient Use of Image Storage Capacity
The Rate Control feature for MPEG4* permits storage of only Intra
Frame data. Data Stream Control for JPEG reduces only recording
frame rate.

The Disk Recorder for MPEG4*/JPEG Network Cameras
Usability is the key to a great interface
Panasonic introduces the new WJ-ND300 Network Disk Recorder with support for up to 32 Ethernet-linked network cameras. This multifunction disk recorder
offers high speed throughput, combining high image quality with the high frame rate. Plus, it gives you the full, IP-addressing capabilities required to maximize
both flexibility and scalability. The possibilities are endless. From systems that exploit existing networks to high-performance systems using dedicated
networks, even hybrid systems using analog cameras, the WJ-ND300 meets security needs across a wide range of applications. *Firmware upgrade available in 1st Quarter 2006 to support MPEG4.
With your choice of eight languages (English, French, German, Italian, Spanish, Russian, Chinese, Japanese) and
simultaneous access to each WJ-ND300 from up to eight clients.
Outstanding scalability simplifies large system construction

Flexibility
Use of a LAN allows cameras to be placed wherever you like.
It also permits live monitoring, search, playback and recording from
a personal computer.
Scalability
Use of an IP Network also reduces the number of steps required
to add cameras and connect them to a hub. With our Optional
WV-AS65 Management PC Software, systems can incorporate up
to 100 WJ-ND300 Network Disk Recorders and up to 3,200
cameras.
Cost Efficiency
Because the WJ-ND300 utilized an existing network infrastructure,
it sharply reduces costs in both time and money compared to
systems that require dedicated cabling. The use of ordinary PCs
eliminates the need for dedicated monitors. Plus, with hard disk
storage, the burden of replacing video tapes or other consumables
is also much lighter.
Built with the Future in Mind
As digital networks become a pervasive component of
contemporary life, the potential for networked video surveillance
systems is huge. As an example, the WJ-ND300 is designed to
take full advantage of new networking advances and to simplify,
the integration of other surveillance applications (i.e. access
control system).

High Image Quality, High Frame Rate
Examples with maximum number of cameras
*Firmware upgrade available in 1st Quarter 2006 to support MPEG4.
Frame rate up to 960 ips/system for MPEG4*(4CIF) and up to 160
ips/system for JPEG (VGA). Supports full-motion live monitoring with
MPEG4*(4CIF) at 30 ips x 32ch and JPEG (VGA) at 30 ips x 5ch.
High Capacity Storage
The WJ-ND300 comes standard with 250GB of storage capacity.
And can be configured with 3 additional hard disk drive for 1TB of
storage. Additionally, with optional WJ-HDE300 Extension Units,
a system can have up to 7TB of storage.
A Wealth of Advanced Surveillance Features
To increase surveillance efficiency the WJ-ND300 recorder
provides a full array of Schedule, Event, Emergency, and External
Timer recording features, multiple parameter filters that provide
accelerated search, and supports E-mail notification via FTP.
High-level User Management
The WJ-ND300 allows for registration of up to 32 users with individual user
ID and password. Operations and access to cameras and functions can be
restricted for each user. The host authorization function blocks access and
operation from unregistered IP addresses for additional security.
More Efficient Use of Image Storage Capacity
The Rate Control feature for MPEG4* permits storage of only Intra
Frame data. Data Stream Control for JPEG reduces only recording
frame rate.
