The awards ceremony, recently held at Moor Park Golf Club in Hertfordshire, was hosted by the Pro-Activ Publications team and brought together manufacturers, services providers, distributors and end-users to recognise those who have achieved excellence over the year. The awards were nominated and voted for by installers themselves, adding strong validation to the prestigious titles associated with winning.

Panasonic's WV-CW960 colour dome, weather resistant camera featuring SuperD III technology beat off stiff competition to win the much coveted CCTV Product of the Year 2007 title.

"It was a great pleasure to receive this award and the recognition from the industry. The WV-CW960 demonstrates Panasonic's commitment to providing high quality products and benefits from excellent R&D to highlight which features are really required in a 24hour surveillance mini dome" comments Rob Healey, European head of marketing, Panasonic systems solutions.

Featuring Panasonic's pioneering Super Dynamic III technology, the WV-CW960 integrates weatherproof housing, a 360 degree high-speed pan and tilt base, and a 30x optical zoom lens to bring surveillance footage to life.

Exclusive high-performance features, such as the pixel based 160x dynamic range, ensure the WV-CW960 achieves unprecedented image realism. Furthermore, new intelligent functions, including auto image stabiliser, scene change detection, and auto tracking, deliver outstanding reliability for outdoor surveillance applications.
