WV-SC385 Megapixel PTZ dome from Panasonic

Panasonic PTZ megapixel IP dome

We recently highlighted the New WJ-NV200 network video recorder from Panasonic. The NVR is one way Panasonic hope to bring IP video to the masses. Facial recognition is a key feature of the WJ-NV200 but any recording solution can only be as good as good as the streamed images that are being input into the NVR. That is why Panasonic have released two new cameras to help compliment their recording solution. They are the WV-SP102 and the WV-SP105. In a bid to target small retail, workshop and office environments both the cameras come in both VGA or HD formats both giving 720p definition.

The I-PRO series though also needed a megapixel IP dome camera with fully functional PTZ . This is about to be released by Panasonic and is the WV-SC385. Features include H.264 /MPEG-4JPEG dual streaming up to 30 images per second (IPS). Also megapixel images up to 4VGA . The new WV-SC385 also boasts true day/night and most importantly POE . It is IP 66 rated and ONVIF compliant. The most important point is the Panasonic name that tends to suggest that this fully functional PTZ dome will be both innovative and reliable.

WJ-NV200

Panasonic sales staff are have been touting the benefits of the WJ-NV200, their new IP CCTV offering to the security market place. With good reason. They are all very excited about the product and the features that have been incorporated into it. One of them, facial recognition, is certainly an interesting concept. Could it be used as an access control tool to replace biometric readers and card entry systems by opening doors to only those who it recognises?. We have reviewed the WJ-NV200 and see this as an important development for Panasonic and the future of IP surveillance systems.  See the full news and product review.

Panasonic WJ-NV200 video surveillance solution

Panasonic has now launched the WJ-NV200 network disc recorder. This will further help enhance the iPro range. The key benefit of the unit is the ability to use facial recognition technology, a feature that is becoming more and more popular. Offering HD video quality and smart analytics capability is also a feature of all the i-PRO SmartHD cameras and recorders . The WJ-NV200 provides an advanced, cost-effective IP video surveillance solution to suit the widest possible range of applications. Being a Hybrid NVR it also provides seamless operation and compatibility between analogue and IP cameras. This makes the product suitable for integration into legacy systems and enhances installation simplicity.

Full training is available on the product and this ensures that from system design to final commissioning all considerations can be taken into account to ensure a seamless installation.
