Details on the Panasonic technology and solutions to be showcased in ISC West Booth 10037 include:

New FacePro Facial Recognition

Featuring a "deep learning" core engine that boasts the world's highest face recognition performance, FacePro high-precision facial recognition software can identify faces that are difficult to recognize with conventional technologies, including faces at an angle of up to 45 degrees to the left or right or 30 degrees up or down, and those partially hidden by sunglasses. FacePro even works better with the feature "iA (intelligent Auto) mode" that camera automatically adjusts settings to shoot optimal images best suited for facial recognition. 

When used with Panasonic's i-PRO EXTREME series network cameras installed with "Best Shot feature," only the "best shots" will be sent to the server for face recognition. Using FacePro with cameras equipped with the iA function enables image analysis to be performed on the camera instead of the server. As a result, only the best images are sent, reducing server and network load and total system cost.

Video Insight VI 7.2 Video Management Software

An integral component of any school or city safety solution is video surveillance management. Video Insight VI 7.2 is the latest generation of VI's open-platform VMS and is faster and is reimagined from the ground up to be more intuitive, easy, and powerful, while offering new premium functionality for key vertical markets:

  Ability to connect to Panasonic body-worn cameras and can transfer video and audio to VI MonitorPlus.
• Vehicle Incident Detection (VID)
  Capture and highlight video of stopped and wrong-way vehicles.
• Transportation Functionality
  Transfer and review video and audio from Panasonic body-worn cameras.
• LPR License Plate Recognition (LPR) Plug-in
  Integrate with LPR cameras to capture, monitor, and review video associated with recognized license plates.
• FacePro Integration Plug-in
  Detect registered faces and retrieve recorded snapshots and associated video.
• Panasonic NVR Integration
  Ability to connect Panasonic NVRs and cameras for live and recorded video.

New i-Pro EXTREME H.265 Multi-Sensor Camera - WV-X8570N, WV-S8530N

The new i-Pro EXTREME Multi-Sensor cameras deliver extreme image quality - 4x4K (33 MP), 3840x2160, 15 FPS - for evidence capturing under the most challenging of conditions which makes it perfect for use in safe city and traffic applications. i-Pro EXTREME Multi-Sensor cameras have four repositionable lenses, 4K image sensors, offer sharp and clear images of fast moving vehicles with iA (intelligent Auto) and ClearSight Coating. 

Durable, with outstanding low light performance, the i-ProEXTREME Multi-Sensor is an excellent choice for nighttime applications. H.265 compression with new smart coding, self-learning ROI (Region of Interest), and the highest in data security make the i-Pro EXTREME Multi-Sensor a technologically superior line of video surveillance cameras.

New i-Pro EXTREME H.265 9 MP 360 Degree Camera - WV-X4571LM, WV-X4571L, WV-X4171, WV-X4170

The i-Pro EXTREME 9 MP 360 line of video surveillance cameras is perfect for transportation, retail, logistics, campus, city and healthcare applications. With a more clear - and less distorted - image of faces and objects near the edge of the fisheye, the camera provides 9 megapixel fisheye images up to 30 FPS and instantly responds to sudden light changes. 

It also has Auto Shutter speed control for fast moving objects, Super Dynamic 108dB for backlit situations and shadows, and built-in IR LED for clarity in zero lux conditions (*). H.265 compression with new smart coding, self-learning ROI (Region of Interest), and the highest in data security encryption make the i-Pro EXTREME 9 MP 360 camera a technologically superior line of video surveillance cameras. (*IR LED is outdoor models only)

• 360 Degree Panoramic Cameras

New i-Pro EXTREME H.265 5 MP Fixed Camera - WV-S2550L, WV-S2250L, WV-S1550L

Perfect for safe cities and campuses, as well as for transportation, retail and finance implementations, the new i-Pro EXTREME 5 MP fixed camera line offers Auto Shutter speed control for moving vehicles, sharp images of a person walking in daylight or at night, outstanding low light performance, and Super Dynamic 120dB for backlit situations including headlights or shadows on streets. 

With 5 megapixel images up to 30 FPS, efficient H.265 compression provides longer recording and less storage compared to any other H.264 techniques. New self-learning ROI (Region of Interest) detects movement within an image and compresses areas with little motion to reduce transmitted data while maintaining the quality of the image. Full end-to-end system encryption with i-PRO EXTREME Recorder and devices provide protection from IP snooping, IP spoofing, and data alteration.
