Preface
About notations 
Features
Introduction of newly developed high-resolution CCD
The introduction of the newly developed CCD with 976 horizontal pixels has led t\
o a horizontal res-
olution of as high as 650 TV lines.
High sensitivity achieved because of noise reduction function  
Sensitivity at the following minimum illuminations has been accomplished\
 for color images because 
of the introduction of low noise circuit design:  
CF314L: Lens (built in): F1.3: 0.08 lx (color), 0 lx (black-and-white, IR\
 LED on)CF304L: Lens (built in): F2.0: 0.15 lx (color), 0 lx (black-and-white, IR\
 LED on)
Day/Night conversion function equipped 
No setup change is required at night because the image automatically changes from the color 
mode to the black-and-white mode at low illuminance. 
Clear images can be captured even at night or at low illuminance because of automatic switching 
of IR filters as well as automatic turning on of IR LED.  
Automatic back focus adjustment function equipped 
CF314L
Auto focus is achieved at installation of the camera or through menu operation. 
Infrared mode function 
According to the distance of objects, illumination intensity of the infrared LED lights will automatical -
ly change to avoid white phenomenon when close targets are captured. The following notations are used when describing the functions limited for specific models. The 
functions without the notations are supported by all models. 
CF314L: The functions with this notation are available when using the model WV-CF314LE.CF304L: The functions with this notation are available when using the model WV-CF304LE.
This product is a 1/3-type CCD color CCTV camera. Clear images can be captured although at the 
illuminance of 0 lx (black-and-white and IR LED on). Connection of thi\
s product to a video monitor 
allows users to use this product as a monitoring camera.
• WV-CF314LE: with color / black-and-white mode switch function and automatic back focus 
adjustment function
• WV-CF304LE: with color / black-and-white mode switch function
