Application to different verticals Apart from traditional markets, the versatile SRG camera series is a perfect choice to be incorporated as part of the visual communication facilities in multiple verticals including judiciary, healthcare as well as education sectors.
Judiciary
There is a rising trend to include visual communication in judicial systems globally for applications such as remote testimonies in legal proceedings, video arraignments, virtual visitations in prisons, among others. Sony’s SRG camera series, capable of live streaming via IP for viewing purposes, can assist court procedures by reducing unnecessary delays by parties due to geographic differences or drastic climate situations as well as protect the identities of individuals due to sensitivity involved. The remote-operated camera line-up is also equipped with powerful optical zoom and wide-viewing angle that ensures that images stay clear and sharp. This allows two or more parties to communicate when these cameras are connected to a video conferencing device.
