Panasonic launches SIP based Video Intercom System to power India’s smart residential growth

Panasonic has launched its new VL-VQ Series SIP based IP Video Intercom System in India, aimed at enhancing security, communication, and access management across modern residential and large-scale housing projects. With the rapid expansion of gated communities, high-rise apartments, and integrated townships across urban India, the need for intelligent and scalable security solutions has become increasingly critical. Addressing this evolving demand, the new system offers three-layered security through a unified platform that manages multiple access and communication touchpoints with centralized control through Panasonic’s Center Management Software (CMS), enabling smarter and more efficient residential security management.

Designed for apartments, gated communities, and large-scale housing projects, the VL-VQ Series goes beyond a standard video door phone by enabling a three-layered security framework across residences, building entrances, and central security operations. The system integrates Door Stations, Lobby Display Stations, Room Monitors, Guard Stations, and CMS into a unified platform, enabling residents to communicate with visitors and grant access via smartphones, while security teams can monitor entrances, IP cameras, and visitor activity in real time. With multiple access options such as face recognition, QR codes, and remote unlocking, the system enables seamless yet controlled entry management across large residential complexes.

Tomo Kazuya, Chief Business Planning, Panasonic Entertainment & Communication, said, “Across the world, residential communities are increasingly looking for intelligent systems that bring together security, connectivity, and convenience in a seamless manner. At Panasonic, we are committed to advancing IP-based security solutions that integrate communication, access control, and centralized management within a unified platform. The introduction of the VL-VQ Series reflects our continued focus on delivering reliable, scalable technologies that support safer and smarter communities globally.”

Commenting on the launch, Gunjan Sachdev, Associate Director & National Business Chief, Security Solutions, Panasonic Life Solutions India, said, “At Panasonic, our focus is on developing integrated security ecosystems that address the evolving needs of modern residential communities. As urban infrastructure expands and residential developments become larger and more complex, the demand for intelligent, connected security solutions continues to grow. Our IP Video Intercom System is designed to deliver enhanced access management, seamless communication, and centralized monitoring, enabling safer and smarter living environments for residents while supporting efficient security management for developers and facility teams.”

The Panasonic Video Intercom VL-VQ Series delivers several operational and user-centric advantages:

• Multi-Point Smart Entry —Multiple access methods including face recognition, IC cards, QR codes, smartphones, and digital access across various entry points, all centrally managed.

• Seamless Integration — SIP-based architecture that integrates smoothly with existing IP infrastructure, including IP cameras, digital door locks, and third-party security systems.

• Scalable & Future-Ready — Designed to support everything from standalone residences to large-scale residential developments and integrated townships.

• Real-Time Security Intelligence — Enables live visitor monitoring, alarm notifications, and access logs through centralized system management.
