Panasonic launches HD CCTV cameras with face recognition

Panasonic has launched HD-enabled smart surveillance cameras featuring embedded facial recognition capabilities.The company says its i-Pro SmartHD CCTV camera products are sensitive to changing dynamics in the environment, with features such as auto tracking and scene change detection, which detect abnormal situations and scrutinize suspicious movement without human monitoring and immediately notify the control center.It has also installed facial-recognition analytics software in these products, which will perform face matching and searching functions. Moreover, these devices can be remotely monitored on smartphones and tablets via the Panasonic Security Viewer app available on both Android and iOS.The tech firm has developed a WV-ASF900 FacePro Facial Search and Recognition System which the company says can conduct real-time face matching capable of supporting up to 20 cameras per server.FacePro can execute high-speed searches of up to 5,000 “known” registered faces on both live and recorded video, according to Panasonic.

Panasonic launches new standard in rugged CCTV

Panasonic has announced the availability of its new robust PTZ security camera, designed for the most severe weather conditions and mission critical applications.Available from October 2016, the Aero-PTZ (WV-SUD638) provides Full HD 60fps imagery with a 30x optical zoom lens within a tough fibreglass body resistant to both erosion and salt corrosion and suitable for everything from arctic to desert weather conditions.The camera features hybrid image stabilisation technology and gyro-sensors to minimise the effect of external vibrations on imagery. In addition, the super dynamic function ensures a wider dynamic range compared to conventional cameras.Designed for applications at height, at sea and on ports, piers and bridges, the camera’s active sense technology responds to external conditions, initiating a built-in wiper, heater and defroster to continually capture the highest quality imagery in the most harsh of conditions.Gerard Figols, Product Marketing Manager for Panasonic Security Solutions, said:“The Aero PTZ is the most rugged security camera on the market and is capable of withstanding more extreme conditions than ever before. It will reliably produce sharp, crisp images, whatever the weather.“The hybrid image stabilisation feature is unique to Panasonic and means that, even when the camera is being moved significantly by the wind, the image produced remains of evidential quality.”

Panasonic prepares to offload main security camera plant

 Panasonic looks to close first-round bidding in early April for the sale of a Chinese security camera factory as the company moves to cut costs in a business that has struggled to gain a foothold outside Japan.The Japanese manufacturer contacted investment funds and other potential buyers for the core production center in the Chinese city of Suzhou. Likely candidates include U.S. equity fund Carlyle Group and British funds Permira and CVC Capital Partners. Panasonic anticipates gaining somewhere over 50 billion yen ($471 million) from the sale, and may end discussions if it does not receive an agreeable bid.Proceeds could be applied to acquisitions in the corporate systems field or committed to other key segments like automotive batteries. Panasonic will decide later whether to put its security camera factory in Japan's Saga Prefecture on the chopping block as wellJapanese demand for security cameras connected to the internet totaled roughly 54 billion yen in fiscal 2017, data from a research firm shows. Though Panasonic appears to control the top domestic share at roughly 40%, the company's global share wallows at a few percentage points as Chinese rivals dominate internationally.Panasonic currently bundles the cameras with the security system it sells. To shave costs, the company later will procure those cameras from other sources, which may include the buyer of the Suzhou factory. The sale also would eliminate expenses associated with capital expenditures.The group's security camera operation is housed in the internal company dedicated to corporate systems. Panasonic plans to raise that company's operating margin from 8.5% this fiscal year to over 10%, doing so by shifting from hardware to software such as facial recognition programs.
