Panasonic Canada Inc. is pleased to announce today that the Royal Canadian Mounted Police have selected two models of Panasonic IP surveillance cameras for indoor and outdoor competition venues and other Olympic facilities for the 2010 Vancouver Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games.

Panasonic’s state-of-the-art technology is intended to be used in conjunction with other security technology to secure official Olympic sites and sporting venues. The high picture quality and high-sensitivity surveillance camera systems will be an integral part of the RCMP’s plan to offer all visitors and athletes a safe and enjoyable experience at the Games.

"Panasonic security products have been used by the RCMP in many high-profile rapid and temporary deployments,” said Jim Brown, Director, Professional Imaging and Display Solutions, Panasonic Canada Inc. “Our surveillance cameras provide them with the reliability and high-quality IP imaging which will assist in providing the RCMP a bird’s eye view of the Olympic sites.”

Panasonic is proud to support the Olympic Movement - aimed at promoting world peace through sports - as an Official Worldwide Olympic Partner in the Audio and Visual Equipment category for more than 20 years since The Olympic Partner (TOP) Program commenced for the Calgary Olympic Games in 1988. Under the slogan of "Sharing the Passion," Panasonic will contribute to the success of the Olympic Games through its technology. Panasonic renewed its partnership with the International Olympic Committee for a further eight years to 2016.
