Two Panasonic CCTV ranges you will see in India
When people search for a "Panasonic CCTV camera price", they often compare quotes that are not for the same kind of product. It helps to know that Panasonic's security offer in India has two broad parts:
| PI series (Home Safety Solution) | CCTV cameras and network video recorders listed on Panasonic India's business website, with model codes starting with PI- (for example PI-BUA5MWA, a 5MP camera listed as IP66 compliant). Suited to offices, shops, societies, schools, clinics and small factories. |
|---|---|
| i-PRO (Security Systems) | Panasonic India showcased i-PRO AI cameras at IFSEC India 2024 in New Delhi: the X Series (2MP to 4K, with on-camera AI analytics) and high-zoom bullet cameras with 10x or 30x zoom, long-range IR and number-plate (LPR) optimised models. Suited to large campuses, plant perimeters, parking and highways. |
An i-PRO AI camera and a PI series camera can both say "5MP bullet", but they are built for very different jobs and are priced very differently. Always check the exact model code on each quotation.
What decides the price of a Panasonic CCTV camera
- Range. PI series cameras are the entry point; i-PRO AI and high-zoom models cost much more because of the processor, analytics and optics.
- Resolution. 2MP is enough for most rooms and corridors; 5MP, 6MP or 4K helps at wide gates, parking and cash areas. Higher resolution also needs more hard disk space and bandwidth.
- Body type. Dome for ceilings indoors, bullet for walls, gates and poles, PTZ or high-zoom bullet for long distances.
- Lens and zoom. A fixed lens is cheapest. Varifocal or optical zoom lets you frame a gate or road precisely and costs more.
- Night vision. IR range matters outdoors. Long-range IR (Panasonic quotes up to 250m for its i-PRO high-zoom bullets) is only needed for long perimeters.
- Weather rating. Outdoor cameras should be IP66 or better for Delhi NCR's dust and monsoon.
- Analytics. Person and vehicle detection, line crossing, and number-plate recognition reduce false alarms but add cost to the camera or the software.
The camera is only one line in a CCTV quotation. The total also depends on the NVR (channels), hard disk size (how many days of recording you want), PoE switch, cable length and route, poles or junction boxes, UPS backup and labour. That is why we do not publish a fixed Panasonic price list: distributor prices change, and a price without cabling and storage is not a real comparison.
Which Panasonic camera for which place
| Office, reception, shop | Indoor dome, 2MP or higher, fixed lens. Add audio only where your policy and the law allow it. |
|---|---|
| Gate, boundary, parking | Outdoor bullet, IP66, 4MP to 5MP, with enough IR range for the distance to the gate or wall. |
| Vehicle entry with number plates | An LPR-optimised camera set at the right angle and height, ideally with a boom barrier slowing the vehicle. |
| Large campus or plant yard | i-PRO high-zoom bullet or PTZ with analytics, plus a VMS so operators can search footage by person or vehicle. |
| Flat or villa entrance | A Panasonic video door phone often does more than a CCTV camera at the main door. |
Questions to ask before you buy Panasonic CCTV
- Is every camera on the quote a current Panasonic India model, with the full model code written?
- How many days of recording will the hard disk give at the chosen resolution?
- Will the cameras and recorder be bought through an authorised channel so the warranty is honoured?
- Will you mix Panasonic cameras with an existing recorder? We check ONVIF compatibility before promising it, as some features may not carry across.
- Who handles service after the warranty? We offer an AMC with preventive visits and breakdown support.
