The renowned iF Design Award 2026 has been bestowed upon Dallmeier's Panomera® V8, recognising it for outstanding design in the global security sector.
This accolade is among the most esteemed in design circles worldwide, emphasising both innovation and functionality.
Independent design institution
Organised by iF International Forum Design GmbH, an independent design institution established over 70 years ago, the iF Design Award is celebrated as a global mark of design excellence.
This year, a remarkable 10,000 submissions from 68 countries were evaluated by a jury of 129 independent design experts. The Panomera® V8 stood out with its cohesive integration of form, function, and advanced technology.
Product design excellence
Dallmeier’s Panomera® uses multifocal sensors for wide, high-resolution coverage with minimal equipmentIn the competition's product discipline under the cameras category, the Panomera® V8 was lauded for its innovative design. It forms part of a versatile product line, known for its visually consistent look, which easily fits into a variety of architectural settings.
Noteworthy is its integrated light indicator that informs about the operational status, enhancing public transparency. With eight lenses for uninterrupted 180° coverage, it effectively eliminates blind spots, while sunshields safeguard the lenses from damage caused by environmental factors. Usability has been refined across all areas—from manufacturing to installation and maintenance.
Design coupled with technological advancements
Dallmeier's Panomera® series employs patented multifocal sensor technology, enabling high-resolution coverage of extensive areas with minimal equipment. This results in a significantly lower Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) for operators, given the reduced expenses in installation and operational processes.
By merging sophisticated system architecture with meticulous product design, Panomera® presents a robust and future-proof solution well-suited for contemporary security needs.
The Panomera® V8 from Dallmeier has been awarded the prestigious iF Design Award 2026. This award is recognised as one of the world’s most renowned design honors.
International recognition for design and functionality
The iF Design Award is presented by iF International Forum Design GmbH, one of the world’s longest-established independent design institutions. For over 70 years, it has been recognised globally as a symbol of outstanding design excellence.
This year, more than 10,000 submissions from 68 countries were entered into the competition. The Panomera® V8 from Dallmeier impressed the international jury of 129 independent design experts with its holistic concept combining form, function, and technological performance.
Award-winning product design
The award was granted in the product discipline, category cameras, recognising the innovative and exceptional design of the Panomera® V8.
The Panomera® V8 is part of a modular product family with a strong visual identity, designed to integrate seamlessly into a wide range of architectural environments. A distinctive design element is the integrated light indicator, which signals the operating status (recording or standby mode), thereby contributing to greater transparency for the public.
Equipped with eight lenses, the Panomera® V8 delivers seamless 180° coverage without blind spots. Sunshields separate the lens levels and protect them from environmental influences. At the same time, usability has been optimised holistically – from production and transport to installation, operation, maintenance, and upgrades.
Design meets technological innovation
The Panomera® cameras from Dallmeier are based on patented multifocal sensor technology and enable high-resolution capture of large areas with minimal hardware requirements.
This allows operators to benefit from a particularly low Total Cost of Ownership (TCO), as both installation and operating costs are significantly reduced.
By combining intelligent system architecture with sophisticated product design, the Panomera® offers a powerful and future-proof solution for modern security applications.
