Sanyo IP cameras have been available for a couple of years now, and before that Sanyo have a long heritage as a manufacturer of professional CCTV cameras.
Sanyo won the “CCTV Product of the Year 2009″ award with their VCC-HD4000P four megapixel, 10 x optical zoom, IP camera.
They have now set the standard for leading-edge megapixel IP cameras with a complete new range of HD models.
The full new model range includes three models in a traditional body camera style, three vandal-resistant dome models, a 10 x zoom fixed camera and two pan tilt zoom models.
Six of these new models are now available in our webshop:
All have built-in Power Over Ethernet and H.264 compression.
Follow the links to see more information, product photos, datasheets, etc.
These new models are attractively priced for such high-resolution cameras and are already proving very popular.
Checkout our Sanyo IP Camera forum for further details about this exciting range.
The remaining three models in this new range are due to launch in December and January, rest assured we will let you know.
From next week YouTube will offer 1080p high definition video playback:

CCTV in schools is often a cause of controversy and debate.
Apparently a UK school CCTV system inadvertently recorded footage of school children getting changed, which prompted this new statement from the Information Commissioner’s Office today:
6 November 2009
CCTV in schools
Jonathan Bamford, Assistant Information Commissioner, said:
“CCTV should only be used for a pressing need. It is perfectly reasonable for a school to use CCTV to help secure its premises, but it shouldn’t be left switched on capturing images of school children changing during the day. When a school is staffed and children are on the premises, cameras will not generally be required for security purposes. Organisations that do capture images using CCTV are required by law to adhere to the Principles of the Data Protection Act. Guidance for organisations using CCTV is available from http://www.ico.gov.uk/for_organisations/topic_specific_guides/cctv.aspx”
The statement is published in the Press Release section of the ICO website – here.
Now I am sure that all statements from the ICO are carefully considered and worded so that there can be no ambiguity of meaning, but I’m not entirely sure that they meant what they seem to be saying in that middle sentence:
When a school is staffed and children are on the premises, cameras will not generally be required for security purposes.
Switch the CCTV off during the normal school day???
Comments below please …
PS – check the website of the newspaper local to the school – the Manchester Evening News – lots of comments from concerned parents …
