What about the Advidia product line that is now being sold through and supported by Panasonic?

I think that they have a chance now that they are unburdened by the mothership, however, they are still have premium products. They need to develop a line of in-house cost effective models, with IR and in more form factors.
They also need a knowledgeable sales team, as compared to the days under Rance and others. Back then it was all about the pipeline and selling to their verticals (hey now that we are talking about cameras, who wants a printer or a projector, or vice versa). The majority of the sales team I have know from Panasonic in the past 5+ years didn't have experience in the security or access control markets.

Does Video Insight give them an advantage in the mix? What about Advidia that they always seem to mention/offer at the same time (their sales team)? thanks

the world is full of camera manufacturers, we are not asking for another and we don't need another... my statement is kign of funny becasue Panasonic was a major player at the start of the CCTV camera business and they exist now, but if you look back at the begining of this industry they are all gone or basically gone. Pelco - basicaly gone. Bosch pretty much gone, Panasonic - gone, IGEye and Arecont pretty much gone... Cheaper to toss in the towell and go home....

Thanks John, to be honest with you I have had more and substantial success with the Advidia line than Panasonic and combined with the VI license it is very competitive. Also we have been pleasantly surprised with the reliability so far.
I appreciate your response and feed back. Stay safe.

I have been told yes. The agreement to allow Panasonic logos is for a few years... I want to say I heard 5 years from date of purchase but my memory is fuzzy on this. The data is also second hand.

i-Pro can leverage the relationship capital Panasonic has. There are still quite a few enterprise legacy accounts using Panasonic. The "Panasonic - evolved" message might work with proper management and talent. They are hiring at a time when most have hiring freezes and many have let people go (I was contacted by a recruiter). I welcome all competition that competes on innovation and value since this drives my company to do the same and ultimately benefits the industry.

New website with less mentions of Panasonic:
Surveillance : Panasonic i-PRO Sensing Solutions Corporation of America
The old website(s) are still active.

As an end user, I really enjoy the Panasonic brand for surveillance. We have been using Panasonic from the 309 analog recorders. The difficulty in today's changes is moving from the Panasonic ASM solution to Video Insight VMS. Currently they don't fully integrate and so making it costly to make the switch.
I believe iPro is moving in the right direction but it's site does not fully provide the end user what Panasonic always provided access to. Currently to get everything you need you have to use multiple sites
Security cameras & CCTV / surveillance systems | Panasonic Global
Downloadvi - Logon
Panasonic i-PRO Sensing Solutions - i-PRO Sensing Solutions Corporation of America which has taken over the Panasonic i-PRO Sensing Solutions - i-PRO Sensing Solutions Corporation of America which had a little more content (Specifically firmware and more documents)
My hope is the new site i-pro will be all inclusive or that they don't do away with the old site security.panasonic since this is where all the real valuable content is.
From my interactions with sales, and technical support at Panasonic they are moving towards the Video Insight as the VMS to replace ASM which is the right direction. I hope they are able to integrate better to alleviate the cost it will inflict on the end users.

I agree, they do need to unify the websites. That being said they only launched the new site a few weeks ago. Hopefully they just set up a redirect to get everything moved over from all the other sites Noel listed, after they bring in all of the content from the other site that the new site is missing. They don't even have the discontinued cameras on the new site.
The Avidia line was something they took over when they merged with Video Insight. They kept it so they could offer a lower priced camera as opposed to the Japanese made Panasonic cameras, which are more expensive. I am told that 2 of the Avidia camera series out of the 3 are produced in china (Hik and Dauah OEM's) but the third is produced somewhere else, not covered by the ban. I don't really see the point of offering something that is banned if you don't have to.
(If what we are hearing is correct about the Chinese camera manufacturers being backed by the military in China, a likely alternate motive seems to arise. It then it makes sense why Chinese cameras are sold so cheap!)
They offer a free license for video insight and monitor cast with the purchase of a camera, but that doesn't mean you have to use them. I can see them trying to work more with the Milestones and Genetecs of the world now which is good, more defined partnerships are what they need. VI is fine for the basic user, but certainly not right for everyone.
It's a good hardened camera with a 5 year warranty. The smart compression is also a great offering. Good for people who are trying to maximize their server capacity and have need for lots of cameras, but not a lot in the budget for servers.
Hopefully their new partnership with Polaris will level up their offerings, I think their cameras are old fashioned looking and could use a face lift.

Since i-Pro is now under Polaris does this mean data will be available regarding I-Pro revenue?
