The WJSX650 from Panasonic is the new easier way to configure mid-sized to large surveillance systems. This remarkable new system makes it simple to fully integrate up to 256 cameras, 32 monitors, and 60 registered users. Adding the WJ-HD300A Series Digital Disk Recorders delivers the high image quality and high storage capacity that state-of-the-art surveillance requires. The Matrix System 650 is a simple, flexible architecture that makes it ideal for a wide range of applications including shopping malls, multipurpose complexes, office buildings and banks. The WJ-SX650 Matrix Switcher has been scaled up for large-sized surveillance systems. It is now possible to configure an expanded full matrix by interconnecting matrix switchers, or configure satellites at remote locations.
