Panasonic Australia has released its Aero-PTZ security camera, which is suitable for applications at height, at sea and on ports, piers and bridges. It is also designed for severe weather conditions, including rain, snow, extreme temperatures and gale-force winds. The camera’s 360° aerodynamic spherical design minimises interference drag for visual stability in winds of up to 217 km/h, while the bodyline helps deter snow and dirt build-up.

The product features hybrid image stabilisation technology and gyro-sensors to minimise the impact of external vibrations. It includes a video stability augment system (SAS) to deal with camera shake. The camera is also equipped with ‘active sense’ technology, responding to external conditions to initiate built-in wipers. This keeps the lens clear in rain and snow, with a heater to ensure internal electronics are operating at the optimal temperature and a defroster to keep the viewing lens clear. The lightweight, fibreglass body is resistant to corrosion from exposure to wet conditions such as sea sprays.

In addition, the camera has a high wind load durability of 60 m/s and can yield clear imagery with its optional long-range IR LED capability for good performance in low minimal light conditions of up to around 150 m.
