Sanyo will be bringing in a total of nine new surveillance cameras Stateside, and what makes them special is the fact that they are able to record proceedings in High Definition format – which is a logical step in the right direction, considering the rising crime rate these days and the use of video surveillance to help solve those cases by identifying faces, words as well as providing detail not seen with the human eye long after the event has happened. These nine new HD surveillance cameras are able to offer up to 4MP MJPEG and Full High Definition video for critical security monitoring, making them the first of such a lineup in the world with multi-streaming H.264 and MJPEG codecs.

Apart from that, Sanyo will also throw in high quality video technology that has already seen action in its consumer-use “Dual Camera” Xacti lineup, albeit with improvements and upgrades that resulted in an enhanced image quality processing engine.
