SECAUCUS, N.J., March 16, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Hello Alert Inc.,
a Babylon, New York security
systems dealer, has installed thousands of Panasonic video
surveillance cameras throughout the state of New York to provide surveillance of various
municipal buildings, jails and approximately 50 fire houses in
multiple jurisdictions on Long
Island.
Lorraine Roberts, president of
Hello Alert, which holds a NY state contract for security systems
and solutions, is a big believer in Panasonic cameras. "Reliability
and durability are excellent, and that's why I sell so many," she
said.
Roberts buys the Panasonic cameras from distributor
Tri-Ed/Northern Video Distribution Center located in Cranbury, NJ. She said that her Account
Manager Ken Collins has recommended
the best cameras for the various applications. Over the years,
Roberts has installed Panasonic box cameras, pan-tilt-zoom models,
and IP cameras, estimated at 3,000 cameras in all. Roberts said she
especially likes the Panasonic domes, including the WV-CW504 series
of vandal-resistant fixed dome cameras featuring Adaptive Black
Stretch (ABS), intelligent Video Motion Detection (i-VMD) and Auto
Back Focus (ABF). "It gives you a wide angle and a lot of
coverage," she said. "The picture is beautiful, and it's a very
easy camera to install."
A typical fire district where Roberts installs Panasonic cameras
might encompass several fire stations, including a headquarters and
multiple sub-stations that cover a certain geographic area. Local
digital video recorders (DVRs) preserve video of whatever happens
at the stations, and video signals routed back to headquarters
enable operators to watch who is entering certain buildings or
attempting a break-in. Surveillance protects the facilities from
vandalism and prevents damage to the expensive fire equipment
stored at the various locations. Camera views also allow operators
to identify delivery people and "buzz" them in.
"I truly believe in Panasonic," said Ms. Roberts. "I have
cameras that have been installed for up to 11 years, and they are
still running. They are durable, reliable and worth every penny.
That camera has to run 24 hours, all day and all night for 365 days
a year. In the case of a power surge, the cameras come right back
on."
The dependability of Panasonic cameras also helps Roberts avoid
the added costs of responding to service calls and ensures repeat
business, she said. "I have been with my districts for a very long
time," Roberts said.
Cameras provided by Panasonic System Networks Company of America
include a new line of i-Pro SmartHD network cameras featuring
high-definition (HD) image quality and exquisite color reproduction
using lower bandwidth. Panasonic cameras incorporate the UniPhier
System LSI chip (H.264 high-profile standard format) to combine HD
video and real-time video streaming (up to 30 images per second) at
a lower data size. A new 1.3-megapixel MOS image sensor enables
high sensitivity (0.3 lux in color) and lower power consumption.
The new camera series includes both IP box cameras and fixed IP
domes.
