On April 15, 2024, Canon India launched 2 top-of-the-line products–The 4K Remote PTZ Camera Controller (RC-IP1000) and the 4K Indoor Remote PTZ Camera (CR-N100). The RC-IP1000 is a remote camera system controller for video production workplaces to meet the standard of event live-streaming and broadcasting. The CR-N100, on the other hand, is a remote indoor camera featuring a compact body and pan-tilt-zoom (PTZ). This provides the advanced tech needed for enhanced streaming and video recording in situations where meetings and classes are held. 

Mr. Manabu Yamazaki, the President and CEO of Canon India, remarks about their newest addition:

The remote controller can easily manage as many as 200 individual camera units at one time. Complementing this, our CR-N100 indoor remote PTZ camera promises superior quality and connectivity, tailored to the diverse needs of educational institutions, corporate settings, and coaching centres.
