Panasonic Expands Line of Super Dynamic III Cameras
Share:
New Analog Outdoor SDIII PTZ and New i-Pro IP SDIII PTZ Deliver Panasonic's Renowned Intelligent Technology.
San Diego, CA (September 25, 2006) - Panasonic Security Systems, a division of Panasonic System Solutions Company (PSSA), continues to set new benchmarks in security camera performance with its widely recognized Super Dynamic III (SDIII) technology. New SDIII introductions for analog platform systems applications include a feature-packed outdoor PTZ dome camera with advanced auto tracking and analytics, as well as a new vandal proof dome camera. In addition, Panasonic adds its SDIII technology to its new i-Pro color network PTZ camera.
"SDIII is a quantum leap in camera technology for superior image reproduction and intelligent features. We've developed SDIII across a complete line of products that support both analog and IP platforms for system-wide applications." said Miguel Lazatin, Product Marketing Manager - Cameras, Panasonic Security Systems. "SDIII's performance capabilities far exceed any camera technology developed for security applications, providing imaging characteristics and feature sets required by the most demanding environments and surveillance installations."
SDIII cameras are so intelligent, they virtually think for themselves. Available in dome and fixed camera systems - and dome systems designed for outdoor and vandal proof applications - these intelligent cameras incorporate a host of innovative features that allow them to automatically react and continually adjust themselves in real time - with minimal if any operator intervention.
SDIII's powerful intelligent processing also drives numerous unique DSP features such as Auto Back Focus, which automatically adjusts camera focus when switching from color to black-and-white operation and back again to color. This is achieved through an innovative mechanism that moves the position of the CCD within the camera to achieve the most accurate focus attainable in the given lighting. Additional DSP advancements include Auto Image Stabilizer for camera deployment in areas that may be prone to wind and other sources of vibration; Scene Change Detection that sends an alarm when the camera's lens is obstructed or the camera angle changed without authorization; Auto Tracking to follow an individual's movements within the camera's field of view; and Adaptive Digital Noise Reduction to minimize image streaking when viewing moving images.
New SDIII introductions for analog system platforms include:
WV-CW974 SDIII Outdoor PTZ is the most advanced dome camera system available. It features a comprehensive feature set that includes advanced auto tracking with analytics and user adjustable tracking parameters for object size, duration, and direction of movement.
