Panasonic

In announcing changes to its North American operations this summer, Panasonic revealed its plans to become a business-to-business solutions organization. The intention is to implement a vertical market, more partner-centric approach. Greg Peratt, director of sales, video solutions integration at Panasonic, joins the conversation to explain the restructuring in detail.

The role of cloud-based services is being increasingly accepted and adopted by users in all parts of life. In the realm of video surveillance, a cloud-based system might provide video management software (VMS) and enable access to video views from any of the company's IP cameras, all connected securely to the system via Internet.

To monitor the CordeValle, a Rosewood, Calif.-based golf course, a local integrator installed a 46-camera Panasonic system.

Integrators need a well-managed and organized sales structure to successfully transition to an IP-based video business model. Learn the fundamentals to sell prospects and existing customers on the many benefits and value of networked video in order to compete in this burgeoning market.

Ensuring the safe passage of commuters has gained urgency as a focal point for transit bureaus throughout the world. Calgary’s light rail demonstrates how advanced high definition video surveillance enables agencies to better manage and secure their lines.

With the help of ADT Commercial, St. Louis' 21st Ward installed a new wireless video surveillance system to help reduce crime by 70 percent. The integrator will install 14 Panasonic IP pan/tilt/zoom cameras throughout the subdivision. Officers will view video feeds using an OnSSI platform at the subdivision's new police substation.

Clearer pictures, higher intelligence, more intuitive interfaces, expanding applications, descending costs — these are just some of many compelling factors propelling video surveillance forward. A dozen top technology providers encapsulate where the market stands for 2011.

During its recent annual meeting, the Security Industry Association’s board of directors has added and re-elected board members.

Midland County Jail in central Michigan is outfitted with an IP-based security solution that integrates multiple systems, including megapixel video surveillance, guard tour and intercom. The project is among the state’s first installations at a correctional facility to utilize an all-networked solution.
