Panasonic Connect Announces New Rugged Outdoor-Ready 4K PTZ Camera

Bracknell, UK. 30th March 2023 – Panasonic Connect Europe today announced a new outdoor PTZ camera, the AW-UR100, available in the third quarter of calendar 2023. The new model combines rugged reliability and high-precision shooting capabilities, such as 4K/60FPS, with cropping functionality and a dynamic image stabilising system (DISS) to overcome the challenges of working outdoors. The camera is ideal for a wide range of outdoor environments, from stadiums to warehouses and airports to ocean-going vessels.

The UR100 is built to withstand challenging outdoor environments, such as shooting in high-corrosion salt-air locations or in rain, wind, snow or intense sunlight. The camera is hermetically sealed to keep out wind-blown dust and sand, and a defroster warms the lens to prevent the formation of frost, ice or condensation in extreme temperatures down to -15°C (-4°F). There is also a convenient wiper to keep the lens clear in wet conditions. In numerous tests simulating diverse outdoor conditions for waterproofing, dustproofing, salt spray and more, the UR100 has proven its rugged ability to perform reliably in a wide range of demanding environments.
