Panasonic Marketing Middle East and Africa has released a new range of AI-enabled i-PRO S-Series indoor and outdoor security cameras.
According to the company, the i-PRO S-Series is specifically designed to support safe cities initiatives, allowing for monitoring fast-changing environments from shopping malls, parks and museums to airports and railway stations.
Hidetoshi Kaneko, director, System Solutions and Communications Division, PMMAF, said, “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.”
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 while protecting against cybersecurity threats.
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 per cent 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.
Sound classification is another addition to this new line, which allows customers 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.
