JVC today announced two live streaming cameras– JVC GV-LS2 and GV-LS1, that can be remotely controlled via tablets, smartphones and PCs. The new JVC GV-LS2 and GV-LS1 combine the video performance of a top-quality conventional camcorder with the unmanned capabilities of a high-end security camera and roll them into a compact device with Wi-Fi and remote control. At the heart of both models is a 1/2.3” 12.4 Megapixel Back‐Illuminated CMOS sensor and JVC’s FALCONBRID high‐speed image processing engine, which allows Full HD quality to be maintained even when only part of the entire image is used for lossless image stabilization (both models) or pan/tilt (GV‐LS1).
The GV‐LS1 maintains Full HD resolution at up to 2x zoom, but is capable of up to 4x electronic zoom. The GV‐LS2 offers 10x optical zoom. Built‐in Wi‐Fi makes wireless streaming and remote operation possible, plus it also allows system expansion by adding a Wi‐Fi router for multi‐camera control of up to four cameras. Direct Wi‐Fi operation of a single camera is also possible without a router or hotspot. In addition to an internal stereo microphone, there’s a MIC input for connecting an external microphone. The GV-LS2 and GV-LS1 are available immediately for $999.95 and $799.95, respectively.
