The WJ-HD316 is a digital disk recorder from Panasonic that uses a new compression technology to provide high-quality images and disk-saving recording. Compared to a conventional algorithm, the data compression ratio has improved approximately 1.5 ~ 2, depending on object and compression mode. The functional base layout of the WJ-HD316 front panel is simple and instinctive, designed for ease-of-use. Eight (8)* directly connected Panasonic dome cameras can be controlled from the front panel. Also, the GUI based menu screen enables quick set up for flexible, more complex operations. (* Six (6) cameras for the WJ-HD309)
The Panasonic WJ‑HD316 and WJ‑HD309 are digital disk recorders designed for high‑density video surveillance. The manual explains the front‑panel layout, GUI‑based menu, and how to connect up to 16 (WJ‑HD316) or 9 (WJ‑HD309) cameras, configure recording profiles, and use network functions.
Key features include a proprietary Super Compression algorithm with a 1/30 compression ratio, RAID‑5 and mirroring for data redundancy, and flexible recording modes (Manual, Schedule, Event, Emergency). The document also details hardware specifications, optional extension units, and system scalability up to 4.8 TB of storage.
