Is Panasonic still making security cameras?

No. Panasonic Corporation exited the video surveillance manufacturing business in 2019. The Panasonic Security division was acquired by Polaris Capital and relaunched as i-PRO Co., Ltd. — all new camera, NVR, and video analytics hardware that was formerly branded Panasonic now ships under the i-PRO brand. Our i-PRO brand page has the current catalog.

Can I still buy WV-ASM VMS licenses for my installed Panasonic system?

Yes. WV-ASE201/202/203/204 camera channel licenses and WV-ASE902/904 operator-screen extension licenses remain available through our legacy catalog. These licenses keep installed WV-ASM300 video management deployments operational and enable incremental camera additions without forcing a full VMS replacement. For new deployments, consider i-PRO Video Insight VMS instead.

Do Panasonic cameras still receive firmware updates?

i-PRO maintains firmware support for many legacy Panasonic WV-S, WV-X, and WV-V camera models. Firmware availability varies by model and age — newer models (2015-2019) generally receive continued security updates; older models (pre-2015) typically have reached end-of-firmware-support status. Contact our support team with specific model numbers for current firmware status.

Can I replace a failed Panasonic camera with an i-PRO equivalent?

Usually yes. i-PRO's X-series, S-series, and U-series camera families are direct successors to the Panasonic WV lineups with similar mounting interfaces, PoE requirements, and image-quality specifications. For most Panasonic WV-S/V/X deployments, there's an i-PRO model that drops into the existing mount, cabling, and VMS integration without re-engineering the installation. Our engineers can confirm the right i-PRO replacement for your specific Panasonic model.

What happens to my Panasonic warranty after the i-PRO spin-off?

Panasonic-era cameras and NVRs sold under the Panasonic brand retain their original manufacturer warranty period — i-PRO has honored warranty claims on Panasonic-branded hardware through the original warranty expiration. For extended warranty or service beyond the original term, i-PRO's service programs can cover installed Panasonic equipment alongside new i-PRO hardware.

Should I rip out my Panasonic system and move to i-PRO?

No rush. Installed Panasonic systems with active firmware support can continue to operate for years — the transition to i-PRO typically happens as part of a natural hardware refresh cycle rather than as a forced migration. Our legacy catalog of accessories and VMS software licenses keeps installed Panasonic deployments operational while you plan an eventual i-PRO migration on your own timeline.

About Panasonic

Panasonic Corporation exited the video surveillance manufacturing business in 2019 when Polaris Capital acquired the Panasonic Security division and relaunched it as i-PRO Co., Ltd. The engineering team, product heritage, firmware lineages, and dealer distribution all transferred to i-PRO at that time. Panasonic no longer manufactures network cameras, NVRs, or surveillance analytics hardware under the Panasonic brand.

The Panasonic catalog we carry at IP Security Depot consists of legacy accessories and support items for customers with installed Panasonic systems — mounting brackets, gooseneck wall mounts, replacement lens assemblies, NVR hard-drive canisters for rackmount chassis, PoE industrial switches originally spec'd alongside Panasonic camera deployments, and the WV-ASE / WV-ASM series VMS software licenses that integrators purchase to extend installed Panasonic VMS deployments. These products remain useful for existing-system support but do not represent a new-camera purchase path.

For new Panasonic-heritage camera deployments, please visit our i-PRO brand page. i-PRO continues to manufacture the modern descendants of the Panasonic camera platforms (X-series flagship AI cameras, S-series mid-tier AI-capable, Aero PTZ WV-S66, multi-sensor WV-X8, and WJ-NX NVRs) and is fully NDAA Section 889 compliant and FIPS 140-2 Level 3 certified — meeting federal and critical infrastructure procurement requirements that Chinese-manufactured alternatives cannot.

Where Panasonic Fits

The Panasonic catalog we carry fits one specific use case: supporting an installed base of Panasonic WV-, WJ-, or legacy PAS/PAM hardware that is still operational and needs replacement parts, mounts, lenses, or VMS software renewals. Typical buyers are integrators with existing Panasonic contracts in higher education, municipal, retail, and commercial facilities where the cameras were deployed before 2020 and continue to operate. For any new Panasonic-heritage camera deployment — AI analytics, NDAA compliance, FIPS 140-2, federal procurement — please visit our i-PRO brand page. The Panasonic brand itself is a legacy catalog, not a new-hardware platform.

Why Choose Panasonic

Legacy System Support

We stock Panasonic accessories to keep installed camera fleets operational — replacement mounts, lenses, and NVR drive canisters for systems deployed 2010-2020.

i-PRO Is the New Panasonic Security

Polaris Capital acquired Panasonic Security in 2019 and relaunched it as i-PRO Co., Ltd. — all new camera and NVR hardware ships under the i-PRO brand.

WV-ASM VMS Continuity

Existing Panasonic WV-ASM video management deployments remain supported through software license renewals in our legacy catalog.

Direct Engineering Support

Our team actively supports the Panasonic → i-PRO transition — specify the right replacement parts or plan an i-PRO migration pathway.
