Aero PTZ (WV-SUD638):
On exhibit and now available for delivery is Panasonic’s newest and most durable PTZ camera, the Aero PTZ. Designed for a wide range of extreme environments, the Aero PTZ provides Full HD surveillance images at 60fps and includes a 30x optical zoom lens. The Aero PTZ is ideal for a variety of applications including ports, transit yards, airports, city surveillance, highways or any area or location prone to severe natural weather conditions or other factors that might wreak havoc on the operation and reliability of a typical video surveillance camera. First unveiled at ISC West 2016 earlier this year, the Panasonic Aero PTZ network camera provides reliable and sustainable operation for mission-critical and other applications under severe weather conditions, from rain and snow to extreme temperatures and hurricane force winds. Its highly rugged, 360-degree aerodynamic spherical surface design minimizes drag for heightened mechanical stability in high winds and the camera features built-in image-stabilization capability to maintain crisp images in the presence of mechanical vibration. Aero PTZ incorporates a strong but lightweight fiberglass body enabling the camera to be resistant to salt-air corrosion conforming to ISO14993. Further, the camera’s wide operating temperature and rugged construction means it is resilient in arctic-to-desert climate ranges.

Enhancements to Video Insight VMS:
The latest version of VI?s open-platform video management software VI Monitor version 6 (v6) offers increased functionality and now supports H.265 / HEEVC Streaming for Panasonic and other H.265 cameras. Video Insight v6 is now bundled with VI?s powerful access control solution MonitorCast v3.5, which will also be on exhibit.

Additional new Video Insight Monitor features include:

• Failover Edge Recording – Automatically upload and manage recorded video from camera via IP Server
• Support for Intelligent Joystick
• Panasonic Aero PTZ Integration

Panasonic continues to distribute the Video Insight VMS solution to the systems integrator channel with a bundled camera license for virtually all recent model i-PRO and all Advidia cameras providing wide camera compatibility and an excellent value proposition.
