Panasonic Presents First Cameras In “6 Series”
Panasonic System Communications Company of North America announced availability of the first four indoor dome network cameras in its new 6 Series i-PRO camera line-up. The cameras are available in Full HD 1080p or HD 720p models with the choice of standard or vandal-resistant housings and are designed for all lighting conditions. They produce high-definition resolution at 60 frames per second, enabling the capture of clear images of moving objects. The newly developed precision dome cover maintains distortion-free images through a wide range of tilt angles. The cameras feature Dual SDXC memory card slots that support high-capacity H.264/JPEG edge recording with flexible record modes including alarm recording and backup recording upon network failure. Series 6 models are also capable of combining space on two cards for longer recordings or creating mirror copies for redundancy purposes.
