SANYO HD Camera Wins CCTV Product of Year Award

SAN YO’s VCC-HDN4000P High Definition network camera has been voted CCTV Product of the Year by the IFSEC 2009 Security Industry Awards judging panel.

The prestigious award was announced at a ceremony on 11 th May at the Metropole Hotel, NEC which was presented by John Sergeant and was attended by over 500 representatives from the security industry.

Commenting on the VCC-HDN4000P winning the highly coveted CCTV Product of the Year award, SANYO’s Doug Gwilliams said: “Our design engineers deserve considerable praise for developing a camera which brings broadcast standard imagery to the CCTV industry. Since its launch in October 2008, the VCC-HDN4000P has generated considerable interest amongst installers, system integrators, end-users and specifiers and has been acclaimed as the future of CCTV. We are naturally delighted that the VCC-HDN4000P has won further recognition from a judging panel of security industry experts.”

The SANYO VCC-HDN4000P is a full High Definition (HD) network camera equipped with the world’s first 4 million pixel lens which has been matched with a 4 million pixel progressive scan sensor to deliver incredibly sharp, crystal clear images.

A built-in 10 x optical zoom makes the VCC-HDN4000P an ideal solution for banking and retail environments or indeed an application where there is a requirement for close up detail of any activity.

The VCC-HDN4000P further capitalizes on advances in technology by the dual streaming of H.264 and JPEG, enabling simultaneous high definition recording and real time H.264 live monitoring across a network. An HDMI output allows the full quality of the camera’s images to be observed on an HD monitor, whilst there is an option to display the video onto an analogue monitor at a remarkable 680 TV lines.

On-board recording is via the camera’s SD/SDHC memory card or via USB onto an external hard drive. Other key features include motion detection, privacy masking, automatic transmission/email of images upon alarm and Power over Ethernet support, whilst a 16 x digital zoom provides the VCC-HDN4000P with a combined 160 x zoom capability.
