HAUPPAUGE, N.Y. and
LAS VEGAS, Jan. 4, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- LVCC, CENTRAL
HALL, BOOTH 13517– VOXX Advanced Solutions Corporation (VASC),
a wholly-owned subsidiary of VOXX International Corporation
(NASDAQ: VOXX), announced today the introduction of 360-LP, a
highly versatile 360-degree camera for high-profile use
cases. The core technology of the 360-LP camera has been
developed by 360fly, Inc., our partner in the retail 360-degree
camera space. VOXX Advanced Solutions will utilize the 360fly
developed technology to launch solutions for body cameras,
in-vehicle dash cameras and helmet cameras.
Changing the shape of video, the 360-LP is a single-lens camera
that captures stitch-less 360-degree video (2880x2880) with
interactive and mobile viewing capabilities in powerful 4K
high-resolution. The camera's unique form factor features a
slim, curved design developed to provide users with a multi-purpose
solution for various use cases in law enforcement, military,
transportation, surveillance/security, and enterprise with unique
mounting solutions for vehicle, helmet and body.
"The core technology can be utilized for unique 360-degree based
video solutions outside of the traditional 360-degree action sports
category," said Tom Malone,
President, VOXX Advanced Solutions. "Opportunities within the
vehicle, body-worn camera, and home and commercial security markets
are unlimited and we will use our manufacturing, logistics and
marketing capabilities to bring 360 video capture to these new and
growing channels of distribution."
The 360-LP provides footage far beyond what is captured in a
standard in-vehicle dash cam today, which only records the view
through the front windshield or in some cases, the rear with the
addition of another camera. With 360-degree recording capabilities,
the 360-LP captures and records all events and activities
surrounding the vehicle, giving the driver a view of the front,
sides, back, and even inside the vehicle.
The camera features a built-in GPS sensor to geo-tag locations,
and overlays speed and altitude onto 360-degree video
content. The camera can be set to start recording based on
motion triggered by the built-in accelerometer, motion within the
video field of view and audio. When an event is activated by
one of the trigger-based functions, the camera captures a 5, 10,
30, or 60-second pre/post recording.
For those who wish to capture a traditional action camera view,
users can select the front-facing mode (POV format) narrowing the
field of view, while mirroring the same functionality to zoom
in/out and pan during playback. Users can also move content
from a Bluetooth-enabled device to the camera to overlay on the
video for improved and personalized audio content. The camera
can also be connected to a PC's USB port for live-connectivity of
360-degree streaming video over Skype, FaceTime or other streaming
services.
The video capabilities of this camera are driven by a mobile app
available for iOS and Android devices, providing users a simple
user interface to instantly shoot, edit and share content to
popular platforms such as Facebook or YouTube. In addition to
shooting at 4K high-resolution at up to 30 FPS, the camera comes
standard with Bluetooth, built-in Wi-Fi, still/burst mode photo
capture, 64GB of internal memory, and up to two hours of battery
life.
The 360-LP camera will be available early Spring 2017.
