New from Panasonic is an outdoor, vandal-proof, Full-HD, pan and tilt camera, the WV-X6531N. This comes with a x40 optical zoom, intelligent zoom stabiliser and analytics for vehicle incident detection. The dome includes a combination of H.265 and smart coding, using smart algorithms to reduce the bandwidth of security footage.
It means that the cameras can reduce the data storage requirement by around 70 per cent for moving scenes and up to 90pc for static scenes, it is claimed, beyond the last generation of Panasonic outdoor PTZ cameras.
Built-in electrical dehumidification and ClearSight coating increase the operational availability of outdoor cameras in wet weather, according to the manufacturers. The coated surface resists water stains and dust accumulation, reducing the need for maintenance and improving the usability and clarity of security footage the firm says.
Gerard Figols, Product Marketing Manager at Panasonic Security said: “This is a camera that has been designed with city surveillance and the monitoring of intersections in mind. The excellent 40x zoom and intelligent zoom stabilisation reduce vibrations when large vehicles pass.
“In addition, it has the option of some of the most intelligent analytics on the market. As well as loitering and left object detection, it is able to recognise a car either stationary or driving the wrong way on a motorway, immediately triggering an alarm in the video or traffic management system.”
Like all Panasonic security products, the camera’s stream and video are encrypted by Symantec, for cyber security. The new camera is part of Panasonic’s Elite range, which the company describes as its top of the range CCTV cameras. Visit http://business.panasonic.co.uk/security-solutions.
