Panasonic offers a line of cameras specially designed for locations that may be subject to abuse, vandalism, or other rough treatment.  These cameras not only feature advanced video and control features, but also integrate a number of engineering and design features as well as special materials to allow the cameras to continue operating even after treatment shocks and impacts that would disable a conventional camera.

Product Highlights

Panasonic's Vandal-Proof standards -

Panasonic has developed its own rigorous tests that its cameras must pass before being designated 'vandal-proof' in our line.

After subjecting the camera to a force of 100 foot points (by dropping a 15-pound ball on it from a height of 2 meters), the unit must show: 

  - No effect on overall video quality
   - No visible safety issues
   - No visible cracks in the dome
   - No impairment of movable parts
   - Easy manual restoration of aim and focus, if affected.
