Canon Middle East is showcasing its next generation security, conferencing, and forensics technologies at the ongoing World Police Summit (WPS) 2023. The event closes on 9th of March in Dubai. Canon will provide opportunities to regional governments and security agencies and policing authorities to experience its industry leading Imaging products that are in use in homeland security, surveillance, policing, field, conferencing, and education applications worldwide.
At Canon’s WPS 2023 stand, you’ll find three distinct zones tailored to key security, surveillance & Conferencing audiences. Backed by their ‘invention-focused R&D’, their innovations are a blend of digital and physical technologies. With real-time image adjustment, multi-streaming, AI, quantum computing based analytics, and remote network imaging and printing, Canon’s open-innovation-based research and development covers the entire security spectrum and contributes to a safer society.
In the first zone, a dark tunnel Room, the innovative ME20F-SH full-frame Full HD video camera, developed specifically for homeland security delivers ultra-low light performance and infrared capability at an unrivalled sensitivity of over ISO 4 million. Images from the dark tunnel are visible clear as day on the monitor outside, highlighting image precision in all lighting conditions. The compact XA60 with infra-red that affords high-quality 4K UHD video and helps get closer to the action is also displayed. With outstanding HD processing, advanced autofocus, a Canon 20x optical zoom lens and HD livestreaming in UVC 1 via USB-C over a computer, it allows high-quality captures in either XF-AVC or MP4 formats.
The second zone is a conference room that displays the prowess of Canon’s remote controlled PTZ Cameras & Multi-cam Setup. This offers a remote 4K output with smooth pan and tilt functionality along with exceptional image quality in both indoor and outdoor settings. It is an optimal tool to capture the scene with voice tracking without any manual intervention and ideal not only for interrogation rooms but also for academic and conferencing applications.
The third zone is dedicated to product experiences in forensics, media, engineering, and field imaging. It features the XF professional handheld 4K UHD camcorder with the latest HEVC codec that enables high quality internal UHD HDR recording and performs in extreme conditions. The PowerShot smart camera with facial recognition, ideal as a body camera for the Police or Army, captures moments on the move.
