Panasonic CCTV solutions provide a cutting-edge lineup with unparalleled surveillance capabilities in a climate where safety and security hold utmost importance. Meticulously designed to empower businesses, communities, and individuals, they significantly help safeguard critical assets. The new Panasonic cameras are complemented by Network Video Recorders (NVRs) supporting 8 to 32 channels of IP cameras with PoE inputs. These NVRs are designed to meet diverse security requirements, leveraging advanced system-on-chip (SoC) technology for high-definition recording on each channel.

Furthermore, a mobile application allows users to access connected cameras via the NVR from their mobile phones. This app supports both iOS and Android platforms. “Panasonic security cameras are sophisticated surveillance systems that utilize intelligent algorithms that enhance functionality and effectiveness. Unlike traditional security cameras, which rely solely on motion detection, Panasonic cameras can intelligently analyze video feeds in real-time, identifying and flagging potential threats or suspicious activities. These cameras can distinguish between normal and abnormal behaviour, allowing for more accurate threat detection and minimizing false alarms,” commented John Hardy – Chief Operating Officer, PMMAF.

Panasonic lineup includes dome, pan-tilt-zoom (PTZ) and bullet cameras that suit multiple installation environments like wall, ceiling, indoor, and outdoor enabling the customer to find the best option for his project. Panasonic lineup contains 2MP,4MP & 5MP that match the customer requirements and MEA country regulations. Panasonic cameras are designed to offer high security, ensuring the safety of customers in their homes, shops, and offices. Equipped with smart intelligence, name few features like line crossing, and abandoned or missing objects can be customizable through the Region of Interest (ROI) feature built into the camera enhancing user security and peace of mind. Moreover, the cameras guarantee customer privacy through an advanced encryption algorithm.

Panasonic network video recorders come with an offering from 8 input channels to 32 input channels, ensuring high-definition recording on each channel through advanced SOC techniques. The NVR’s support IP PoE inputs for easy configuration and network infrastructure simplification enables simultaneous playback across all channels, It meets diverse security requirements for homes, shops, and offices, ensuring customer safety.

As regional organizations adapt to an accelerated digital environment, the quality of video transmission has become particularly critical to the education, corporate, live events, and broadcast industries. With clear images and dynamic image production that can only be obtained with Panasonic’s pan, tilt, and zoom movement, it is possible to improve the quality of online communication and enhance the sense of presence even when not face-to-face.

The AW-UE40, AW-UE50, and AW-UE80 will have a 24x optical zoom and up to a 36x intelligent zoom, as well as a 74.1-degree viewing angle to support usage in both indoor and outdoor environments. The latest generation of optical image stabilization (OIS) ensures excellent stability. All cameras will support PoE, enabling a single-cable solution whereby video and audio, control, and power can be provided to and from the camera via a single ethernet connection.

The new models support the latest IP-based video protocols, including NDI|HX version 2, while  AW-UE80 supports full-bandwidth NDI. The PTZ cameras support SRT protocol will alongside RTMP and RTMPS. Furthermore, the AW-UE80 will also support the FreeD protocol to ensure integration with AR and VR systems alongside 4K/50p video capabilities.

The 4K-capable AW-UE20W/K and the HD integrated camera AW-HE20W/K are entry-level PTZ cameras produced specifically for the corporate and higher education markets. Both models will feature a wide-angle lens, the latest IP protocol certifications, and connectivity for SDI, HDMI, USB, and IP.

Panasonic offers an entire ecosystem of solutions to enable the new PTZ cameras to be smoothly introduced into existing camera systems. This includes use with its remote camera controllers, PTZ Control Center centralized control software, and its automatic tracking software for presentations and lectures, enabled by face recognition and human body detection.

“Our PTZ cameras are among the most used systems across the world and meet the needs of varied industries, serving customers from national governments to esports. Recently used at the Olympic and Paralympic Games Tokyo 2020, at venues including the Japan National Stadium and the Tokyo Aquatics Centre, they provide immersive experiences for the audience. A perfect solution for huge events like Expo 2020, the new models are true plug-and-play solutions, and offer the flexibility to easily pick the PTZ camera best suited for their needs,” said Hidetoshi Kaneko – Director System Solutions and Communications Division, Panasonic Marketing Middle East and Africa- FZE (PMMAF).

The versatile Full HD and HD security cameras with up to 40x zoom are the latest offerings in Panasonic’s next-generation i-PRO Extreme surveillance technology platform. This native end-to-end H.265 system is designed to maximise the performance and cost-effectiveness of video surveillance systems whilst protecting against cybersecurity threats.

“Artificial Intelligence empowered devices are being sought after, especially within the physical security industry in the region. At Panasonic, we understand the demands of the region and these new security cameras will not only help provide robust security solutions but offer deeper data analytics as well, so that decision and preventive measures can be more effectively implemented,” commented Hidetoshi Kaneko – Director, System Solutions & Communications Division, PMMAF.

The cameras use H.265 compression technology coupled with Panasonic’s Smart Coding technology to deliver the highest quality images at the lowest bitrates – reducing streaming and storage by approximately 75 percent over the H.264 industry standard. This allows companies to store significantly more data at a lower cost and reduce bandwidth requirements. i-PRO Extreme cameras also provide a highly secure protection layer and robust authentication to guard against hacking attacks.

Moreover, the cameras come pre-bundled with the i-PRO in-house apps AI Video Motion Detection (AI-VMD) and AI Privacy Guard. They provide instant access to intelligent security functions such as an intruder or loitering detection whilst making sure to protect the privacy rights of individuals by pixelating their figures or faces, which is vital for businesses operating in geographies where strict privacy laws are in force.

Another addition to this new line is sound classification, which allows you to set alarms for targeted sounds, such as gunshots, yelling, vehicle horns, and glass breaking, using an external mic. Plus, the new i-PRO S-series is compatible with i-PRO’s multi-AI system. This time-saving search function quickly finds people or vehicles through the video management software, Video Insight, Genetec, and Milestone.

The new i-PRO S-series is currently available in three models, indoor dome, indoor vandal dome, and indoor box, with outdoor models launching from Oct-Dec this year. With premium features now available in their most popular line, the new i-PRO S-series sets the standard in surveillance cameras.
