Panasonic is one of the world's largest manufacturers of electronic equipment. They sell a wide array of products such as audio and video equipment, telephones, even office equipment. They have become recognized around the world as an innovator in the electronics market.

One area of the market they have devoted a lot of attention to is security products. They offer a comprehensive security line including video surveillance cameras, biometric devices, and fiber optic transceivers. This article focuses specifically on their high performance line of Panasonic security cameras.

The Panasonic line of security cameras includes a wide array of choices including dome cameras, IP cameras, black and white cameras, vandal proof cameras, as well as comprehensive camera packages. Their innovative approach to product design and manufacturing, has led them to achieve several industry first contributions such as the development of the first digital signal processing camera and IP video surveillance camera. In addition, the Panasonic CCTV camera was the first of its kind to be introduced to the market.

In order to get a better understanding of the depth of the camera products they offer, we will seek to review a cross-section of their available security cameras.

  • Fixed cameras -- Panasonic offers both color and black and white fixed cameras. Their fixed cameras are designed to work best in surveillance applications that require a set view of a specific location, such as a building entrance point or hallway. These cameras can be easily customized with various lenses, which can accommodate different angles or up-close views. All of their fixed cameras also contain a day/night feature that automatically changes the camera mode based on specific lighting conditions. Their fixed cameras are also equipped with motion sensors that can triggers event recording or alerts.
     
  • Dome cameras -- Panasonic offers several basic dome cameras as well as special pan/tilt/zoom models. These PTZ cameras are perfect for surveillance applications that require more flexibility. The most notable feature of these cameras is their wide range of motion that can be achieved with very low noise. Several unique technologies such as the advanced all-optical connection between camera and base, and video transmission using light beams contribute to the low noise of the PTZ cameras. In addition, Panasonic's PTZ cameras combine both optical zooms and electronic image zooms that can provide a magnification up to 220 times.
     
  • Network/IP cameras -- Panasonic's IP-based cameras are designed to provide you with the ability to monitor and control the camera units via an IP-network. You can perform these functions from a networked PC or even over the Internet to accommodate viewing from remote locations. The IP cameras can also easily be incorporated with Panasonic's other camera models to create a comprehensive surveillance network.
     
  • Vandal-proof cameras -- Panasonic's vandal-proof cameras are designed specifically to withstand a high level of abuse. The cameras will continue operating even after intense force or shocks are administered to the camera itself. While their vandal proof line is not specifically weatherproof, some models are both dust and moisture resistant and can be used in some instances for outdoor surveillance. Panasonic has subjected these cameras to rigorous test to ensure they maintain their structural integrity and continue performing under extreme abuse.

As you can see, the Panasonic line is very extensive. The technology and features that come standard with their products are also very impressive. If you are looking for quality video surveillance products that you can trust, Panasonic does not disappoint.
