Panasonic BL-VP104 indoor HD 720p IP camera with electronic day/night, face detection and mobile viewing BL-VP104

Overview of Panasonic BL-VP104

The Panasonic BL-VP104 is a compact IP camera which produces clear HD 720p video. Similarly to its predecessor, the BL-C101, it's sleek and discreet, ideal for surveillance in homes and offices, while offering improved resolution with electronic day/night and 3D noise reduction to improve low-light visibility.

Another new addition is the facial detection system. This software detects faces in view and transmits positional data to connected video recorders. It can also integrate with Panasonic's Network Video Recorders for true facial recognition. The camera is ONVIF compliant, so can be integrated with many third-party recording devices, but also comes with Panasonic's Network Camera Recorder for single-channel recording to a Windows PC.

A version of this camera with Wi-Fi connectivity is available: Panasonic BL-VP104W.
