Panasonic System Networks has enhanced the intelligent
functionality of the i-PRO SmartHD WJ-NV200 Network Disk Recorder with an
expansion kit.

 

The kit provides age and gender estimation, visitor
counting, and other functions to the NVR’s embedded face matching technology.

 

Age and gender estimations can help managers determine
buying trends and preferences allowing for educated customization of in-store
merchandising and advertising. Relative time of visit and visitor count metrics
enable managers to understand busy or slow times to accurately schedule
employee shifts.

 

The i-PRO SmartHD WJ-NVF20 advanced intelligence
expansion kit enables new security and business management functionality to be
added to installed WJ-NV200 recorders using a firmware update based on an
installation key number.

 

“In addition to delivering outstanding recording
performance, our new NVR with embedded real-time face matching capability now
also includes even more advanced functions which assist in intelligent security
monitoring,” said Bill Taylor, president, Panasonic System Networks
Company of America.

 

The WJ-NV200’s embedded real-time face matching
technology eliminates the use and added expense of external software. The unit
connects and records up to 16 network cameras and provides a Real-Time Face
Matching function to match registered face images with a face displayed on a
live camera feed.

 

In addition to security benefits, the WJ-NVF20 expansion
kit provides added functionality for retail locations as it can be used to
compare transactions and measure how many customers made purchases.

 

Featuring automatic backlight control of Panasonic
widescreen LCD monitors, the WJ-NV200 can reduce power consumption for monitors
up to 30 to 60 percent during normal use.

 

User authentication includes three user levels, and up to
16 user registrations can manage access to cameras. In addition, the WJ-NV200
supports Open Network Video Interface (ONVIF).

 

Recently, Panasonic System Networks announced that
Vintalk has certified the Panasonic SIP Phone Systems, The TGP series and UT
series, for use with their Hosted IP PBX and SIP Trunking solutions.
