This Panasonic public safety system includes up to five Full HD video cameras with optical zoom of up to 30 magnifications and wide-angle lenses, as well as a built-in recorder, ensuring maximum clarity and increasing the likelihood of capturing admissible video evidence.

The system allows officers to monitor and use the cameras from the front of the vehicle and includes a whole range of features to adapt to the environment, such as high sensitivity in low light conditions and super high Full HD resolution of 1080p/30 fps, explains Gerard Figols, Marketing Manager de Panasonic.

The MK5 system is compatible with wireless microphones and cameras that can be worn on the body and offers a single storage point for audiovisual evidence within the vehicle. The online portal allows simple searches based on dates, keywords, agent identifiers or triggers.
