Product identity and intended use

The Panasonic AW-HE50HN is a PTZ camera with an 18x optical zoom lens covering 4.7-84.6 mm focal lengths. A 1/3 inch Full-HD MOS sensor captures video in low light down to 3 lux. Outdoor-rated housing suits fixed security installations that need remote pan, tilt and zoom control.

Setup requirements to verify

The unit connects through an Ethernet 10Base-T/100Base-TX port using DDNS, DHCP, DNS, FTP, HTTP, NTP or SNMP protocols. Confirm your network switch or recorder supports 100 Mbps links and the required protocol stack. Power sourcing and mounting hardware are not detailed in the supplied data, so check local cabling and bracket compatibility before ordering.

Sustained-load behaviour

The internal Core 2 Duo processor at 2.4 Hz with 512 MB RAM handles continuous streaming and PTZ motor operation. Lens aperture ranges from f/1.6 to f/2.8 across the zoom range, maintaining exposure during extended moves. Digital zoom up to 10x is available but will reduce image detail during prolonged use.

Questions about this item

Does the Panasonic AW-HE50HN come with mounting hardware or a power supply, or do I need to purchase them separately?

The product is supplied as the camera unit only; mounting brackets and a compatible power supply are not included and must be sourced separately.

How do the 18x optical zoom and 10x digital zoom differ in practical use on the AW-HE50HN?

The 18x optical zoom uses the 4.7–84.6 mm lens to magnify the image without quality loss, while the additional 10x digital zoom crops the sensor output, reducing detail at the far end.

What does the 3 lux minimum illumination figure mean for night-time footage on this camera?

At 3 lux the AW-HE50HN can still produce a usable colour image, so areas lit by typical street lighting or porch lights will be captured clearly after dark.
