JVC cameras take centre stage at G8 summit

The summit took place in Toyako on the northern Island of Hokkaido and brought together heads of the world’s most wealthiest and most industrialised countries including France, Germany, Italy, Japan, UK, USA, Canada and Russia.

The G8 summit is a forum for these countries to discuss issues of worldwide concern and negotiation of topics such as climate change, intellectual property rights, political issues, world economy and food shortages.

Forming part of a bespoke and integrated software and audio-visual communication and interpretation system, JVC’s TK-C686E PTZ security dome cameras were responsible for the core monitoring of talks between G8 representatives.

The cameras used a reverse monitoring mode and were positioned upside down and in full view of delegates’ faces. The cameras use a 36x zoom, and quick, silent and accurate direct drive motor allowing the cameras to pan and zoom in on delegates during talks.

“We’re justifiably proud that our top-of-the-range PTZ dome CCTV cameras have been used in this unique way. It clearly demonstrates the flexibility of the camera for all kinds of image-critical uses,” said Yash Patel, executive director, CCTV Europe at JVC Professional Europe Ltd.
