Panasonic announced the company will install a total of some 2,000 units of CCTV cameras at various venues of the Beijing 2008 Olympic Games which begin on August 8.
Panasonic has been an Official Worldwide Olympic Partner since The Olympic Partner (TOP) Programme started for the Calgary Olympic Winter Games and Seoul Olympic Games in 1988, in the Audio and Video Equipment category.
The sponsorship category was extended to include AV security systems from the Torino 2006 Olympic Winter Games. Since then, Panasonic has contributed to providing security and safety for the Olympic venues with a variety of security system products including monitoring and surveillance cameras.
During the Beijing Olympics, Panasonic’s security products such as Super Dynamic III (SDIII) colour PTZ (pan, tilt and zoom) cameras will help ensure security at the venues including the International Broadcasting Centre and Fencing Hall at the National Convention Centre, Laoshan Velodrome in Beijing and Tianjin Olympic Centre Stadium in Tianjin City. The SDIII series weather-proof outdoor and indoor cameras feature high sensitivity and high resolution with 128x dynamic range.
