Tiny wireless contact for
discreet security
Cameras with smart coding
and comms encryption
Panasonic has introduced the Elite Range of
cameras which incorporates features that go
beyond surveillance, with the cameras all
including smart coding compression and secure
communication encryption. All the cameras in the
range also offer a minimum resolution of Full HD,
with a selection at 4K.
In addition, vandal resistance, weatherproofing
and a rain wash coating, ensure the cameras can
continue to acquire evidence even in challenging
conditions.
As well as 4K box, dome and 360 degree
camera technology, the range includes Panasonic’s
Full HD weatherproof bullet camera (WV-
SPW532L), which has the ability to automatically
detect and optimise video quality within a given
image, prioritising disk space for the areas where
movement is detected, and overall helping to save
network bandwidth of the system for operators.

Texecom has announced the Micro Contact-W,
the smallest wireless contact that the company
has ever made. The unit (57mm x 27.5mm x
8.2mm) can be concealed within most uPVC
window frames for unobtrusive, discreet
protection of windows, doors and other items
such as drawers and cupboards.
The Micro Contact-W is installed with a single
button and has intuitive LED indications to take
the installer step-by-step through the
installation and commissioning process; trips
back to the control panel are no longer required.
The contact is part of Texecom’s Premier Elite
Series and connects via Ricochet Mesh wireless
technology.
Further blending into the background, the
Micro Contact-W is available in white, brown and
anthracite grey, in order to match
the most popular uPVC, wooden
and aluminium frames .

IR beams now available as
tower models
When active infrared
beams are placed in
towers, installers have to
remove the front cover
and the back plate to fix
them inside the
enclosure, resulting in
unnecessary waste. To
resolve this issue, Optex
has decided to make its
SmartLine SL-QDP range
and wireless SL-350QFR
available as beam tower
models.
The SL-QDP–BT is a
series of long-range wired
Quad active infrared beams featuring easy
alignment tools, channel selection and dual
modulation. All three models (60m-200m) are
now available as beam tower (BT) models.
The SL-350QFR-BT is a fully
battery-powered 100m active
beam set, ideal for securing
remote or hard-to-cable
perimeters.
