EDITOR’S CHOICE
The security industry is busy and complex, so it’s easy to miss
new products and services as they get lost in day-to-day
activities. Every now and again, certain products grab our
attention so here we take a look at some of the products we
think you won’t want to miss this month.
PTZ for city surveillance with
40x optical zoom
The outdoor, vandal-proof, Full-HD, PTZ camera
WV-X6531N from Panasonic comes equipped with
a 40x optical zoom, intelligent zoom stabiliser and
intelligent analytics for vehicle incident detection.
In addition, cost reducing technologies, including
a combination of H.265 and smart coding
technology, use smart algorithms to reduce the
bandwidth of security footage.
According to the company this means that the
cameras can reduce the data storage requirement
by around 70% for moving scenes and up to 90%
for static scenes, beyond the last generation of
Panasonic outdoor PTZ cameras.
In addition, built-in electrical dehumidification
and ClearSight coating increase the operational
availability of outdoor cameras in wet weather.
The coated surface resists water stains and dust
accumulation, reducing the need for
maintenance and improving the
usability and clarity of security footage.

Three new thermal cameras
for latest VMS system
Flir has announced three new cameras which
integrate with its latest VMS, Flir United VMS 8.0.
The FLIR PT-Series HD is a dual-sensor camera
system that provides long-range perimeter
intrusion detection regardless of lighting and
environmental conditions. The pan-tilt camera
provides quick and accurate threat verification.
The FLIR PT-Series HD offers either a cooled or
uncooled 640x480 resolution thermal camera
with a 1080p HD visible camera. Multiple highperformance
thermal lenses are available,
including optical zoom lenses up to 14X.
The FLIR Quasar 4K fixed box multipleresolution
camera can be programmed to switch
from 4K daytime mode to 1080p lowlightnighttime
mode to provide optimum, continuous
performance. Its compact design allows for the
use of specialised camera housings, ranging from
explosion to extreme weatherproof, and can
accommodate a range of lenses from super- wide
to telephoto.
The FLIR Ariel 3MP corner camera features a 3-
megapixel visible camera that provides ceiling-tofloor
and wall-to-wall viewing. The corner camera
also includes a built-in microphone for audio
monitoring and discrete night vision illumination
for monitoring low light to totally dark locations.

Enhanced password control for recording device
installation security
The Videcon and Concept Pro team has announced the arrival of Sequrinet
password protection on the range of professional recording devices. From the
beginning of April, installers will have the option of Enhanced Password Control,
this will prohibit the use of ‘1234’ and other easily infiltrated passwords and only
allow the use of passwords that feature a combination of numbers, lower case
letters, upper case letters and symbols that are over five characters long.
Enhanced Password Control will also remove the use of drop down user name
profiles. Upon selection, the EPC will remove any backdoor user capability and will
disable P2P and DDNS options by default.
The company says that it understands that certain
installations will not require such a high level of security;
therefore, EPC is purely optional. Compatibility with
organisations requiring a stringent level of password protection is essential and it is this compatibility that improves
the market suitability of the system for use in government, public space and banks.
