Panasonic Highlights New Additions to its Unified Security and Evidence Management Eco-system at GSX

Panasonic System Solutions Company of North America, a leading provider of connected security solutions for numerous verticals including law enforcement, transportation and educational institutions will showcase new additions to its diversified technology portfolio of end-to-end security and evidence management solutions at Global Security Exchange 2018 Expo (GSX), September 23-27 in Booth #2737 at the Las Vegas Convention Center in Las Vegas, NV.

"Panasonic is excited to participate in GSX and showcase our security portfolio – a comprehensive eco-system that includes video, management software, access control, mobility, and analytics," said William Brennan, Director Sales and Marketing Securities Group, Panasonic System Solutions Company of North America. "We look forward to demonstrating Panasonic's secure, reliable, and cost-effective security solutions."

Adding to the fixed, mobile and body-worn hardware and software surveillance platforms unveiled late last year, Panasonic will exhibit new integrated products and services that connect and manage the fast-changing security industry. New products include the i-PRO EXTREME 33MP (4x4K) Multi-Sensor camera; and the I-PRO EXTREME 5MP Fixed camera series.

Panasonic technology solutions in GSX Booth #2737 include:

New I-PRO EXTREME H.265 Multi-Sensor Camera – WV-X8570N, WV-S8530N
The new I-PRO EXTREME Multi-Sensor cameras deliver hi-resolution image quality – 4x4K (33 MP), 3840x2160, 15 FPS – for evidence capturing under the most challenging of conditions which makes it perfect for use in safe city and traffic applications. i-PRO EXTREME Multi-Sensor cameras have four repositionable lenses, 4K image sensors, offer sharp and clear images of fast moving vehicles with iA (intelligent Auto) and ClearSight Coating. Highly durable and adaptable to extreme low light performance, the I-PRO EXTREME Multi-Sensor is optimized for nighttime applications. H.265 compression with new smart coding, self-learning ROI (Region of Interest) and advanced data security further enhance the i-PRO EXTREME Multi-Sensor cameras.

New I-PRO EXTREME H.265 5MP Fixed Camera – WV-S2550L, WV-S2250L, WV-S1550L
The new I-PRO EXTREME 5 MP fixed camera line offer sharp and clear images of fast moving vehicles, sharp images of a person walking in daylight or at night, outstanding low light performance with iA (intelligent Auto), and Super Dynamic 120dB for backlit situations including headlights or shadows on streets. With 5MP images up to 30 FPS, efficient H.265 compression provides longer recording and less storage than other H.264 techniques. New self-learning ROI (Region of Interest) detects movement within an image and compresses areas with little motion to reduce transmitted data while maintaining the quality of the image. Full end-to-end system encryption with I-PRO EXTREME Recorder and devices provide protection from IP snooping, IP spoofing, and data alteration.

New-to-Market: FacePRO® Facial Recognition – Featuring a "deep learning" core engine that boasts the world's highest face recognition performance, FacePRO high-precision facial recognition software can identify faces that are difficult to recognize with conventional technologies, including faces at an angle of up to 45 degrees to the left or right or 30 degrees up or down, as well as those partially hidden by sunglasses. FacePRO options include an "iA (intelligent Auto) mode" signaling the camera to automatically adjust settings to capture optimal images for facial recognition.

Next Gen: Video Insight VI 7.3 Video Management Software
Video Insight VI 7.3 is the latest generation of VI's open-platform, and brings enhanced scalability, improved client performance, NVR integration, 360 dewarps support for Mac as well as enhanced analytics support including Line Crossing, Direction Detection and Loitering Direction.

New Unified Digital Evidence (UDE) Software
The new software offers a unique platform to gather and store digital evidence from the Arbitrator™ In-Car and Body-Worn camera platforms, as well as other sources, including fixed surveillance and a variety of digital media devices.

  • The Evolution of IP Camera Intelligence

    As the 30th anniversary of the IP camera approaches in 2026, it is worth reflecting on how far we have come. The first network camera, launched in 1996, delivered one frame every 17 seconds—not impressive by today’s standards, but groundbreaking at the time. It did something that no analog system could: transmit video over a standard IP network. Read Now

  • From Surveillance to Intelligence

    Years ago, it would have been significantly more expensive to run an analytic like that — requiring a custom-built solution with burdensome infrastructure demands — but modern edge devices have made it accessible to everyone. It also saves time, which is a critical factor if a missing child is involved. Video compression technology has played a critical role as well. Over the years, significant advancements have been made in video coding standards — including H.263, MPEG formats, and H.264—alongside compression optimization technologies developed by IP video manufacturers to improve efficiency without sacrificing quality. The open-source AV1 codec developed by the Alliance for Open Media—a consortium including Google, Netflix, Microsoft, Amazon and others — is already the preferred decoder for cloud-based applications, and is quickly becoming the standard for video compression of all types.
