Techno Horizon Co., Ltd. announced the launch of its “CC-3L” continuous cloud-recording camera, engineered for both indoor and outdoor use, with sales scheduled to begin on October 23, 2026. The release comes in response to rising demand for 24/7 continuous video recording to strengthen security and identify early warning signs of equipment or operational trouble in harsh industrial and outdoor environments.

High-Performance Security Camera “CC-3L” Launching in October 2026

Techno Horizon Co., Ltd. (Securities Code: 6629, Standard Market; Head Office: Minami-ku, Nagoya, Aichi Prefecture; President and CEO: Hironobu Nomura) issued a press release on September 15, 2026, announcing the upcoming launch of its indoor/outdoor continuous cloud-recording camera, the “CC-3L,” on October 23, 2026, at an open price. Please refer to the diagram below for a visual overview of the product concept.

Engineered as a highly weather-resistant unit, the CC-3L is built to withstand severe weather conditions and demanding installation environments. Beyond standard retail stores and office spaces, it targets rigorous operational sites including outdoor parking lots exposed to summer heat, cold-climate facilities, industrial plants, and construction sites. The camera complies with international IP67 dustproof and waterproof standards and operates reliably across an extended temperature range from -30°C to 60°C. Furthermore, it comes standard with a 5-year warranty covering free unit replacements for natural failures, ensuring long-term operational reliability and predictable maintenance budgeting. Coinciding with this hardware release, Techno Horizon will also deliver a comprehensive Web UI overhaul for its security and surveillance cloud platform, “ELMO QBiC CLOUD.”

24/7/365 Continuous Recording to Capture Early Indicators of Trouble

Conventional surveillance systems heavily rely on event-driven recording, which captures video only when motion or sound is triggered. However, when preventing crimes, workplace accidents, or machinery failures—or investigating root causes after an event—understanding the complete operational context, including subtle precursor signals and prior sequences, is vital. The CC-3L addresses this critical gap by supporting continuous 24/7/365 cloud recording.

In terms of video performance, the camera streams Full HD video at 1080p (1920×1080 resolution at 25 fps) directly to cloud storage without interruption. For low-light or nighttime conditions, integrated infrared LEDs (IR-LEDs) deliver an illumination range of up to approximately 25 meters. The unit also features a built-in microphone to capture real-time ambient audio alongside video footage. By documenting physical environments through both high-resolution video and audio, the system substantially enhances early anomaly detection and safety management capabilities. Please see the diagram below for operational and installation concepts.

Product Specifications and the Evolution of “ELMO QBiC CLOUD”

Robust Hardware Specifications and Efficient PoE Power Delivery

The optical and hardware architecture of the CC-3L utilizes a 1/3-inch CMOS image sensor (approx. 2 million effective pixels) paired with an f=2.8mm, F1.6 wide-angle lens. The field of view spans 97 degrees horizontally, 55 degrees vertically, and 115 degrees diagonally, achieving low-light performance down to a minimum subject illumination of 0.05 lux.

To eliminate risks of wireless interference and signal dropouts commonly associated with Wi-Fi deployments, the camera relies exclusively on a single wired Ethernet port (10/100BASE-TX). It fully supports Power over Ethernet (PoE, IEEE802.3af compliant), delivering data communication and power over a single network cable to streamline installation and lower electrical cabling expenses. Power consumption remains minimal at a maximum of 5W when IR lighting is active. The dome housing measures 100 mm in diameter by 88 mm in height and weighs approximately 415 g, incorporating a 3D adjustable mechanism for flexible installation across tabletop, ceiling, or wall mounts. Key product specifications include:

• Image Sensor: 1/3-inch CMOS (approx. 2 million effective pixels)
• Operating Temperature Range: -30°C to 60°C
• Ingress Protection: IP67 compliant (dustproof and waterproof)
• Network Interface: 1× Wired LAN (PoE IEEE802.3af supported)
• Dimensions & Weight: φ100 mm × 88 mm, approx. 415 g

Intuitive Video Management via Redesigned Web UI

To complement the CC-3L hardware release, the Web UI for the “ELMO QBiC CLOUD” monitoring platform has been completely redesigned. The updated interface adopts a fully responsive layout that expands video streams across browser windows on PCs and tablet devices.

Key user experience enhancements include:

• Full-Screen Responsive Layout: Automatically scales high-definition video playback to match any browser display size.
• Instant Snapshot Download: Enables one-click extraction and local saving of still images from critical scenes.
• Multi-Camera Grid View & Scrolling: Displays multiple camera feeds on a single screen with smooth vertical scrolling.
• Enhanced Timeline Visibility: Introduces color-coded indicators along the playback timeline for instant visual identification of motion, audio, and light detection events.

These interface upgrades empower security personnel and facility managers to perform rapid video searches and assess critical incidents with greater efficiency. An interface mock-up is illustrated below.

Video Surveillance Market Dynamics and Future Outlook

Workforce Shortages and Food Safety Driving Long-Term Video Retention

The video surveillance market continues to experience steady expansion, growing at an annual rate of approximately 105% to 106%. Key drivers include automation and labor-saving initiatives prompted by a shrinking labor force, alongside an increasing shift toward remote facility management. Heightened public and regulatory scrutiny surrounding foreign object contamination and quality control in food processing and pharmaceutical manufacturing is further accelerating adoption.

Across manufacturing plants and distribution centers, long-term video retention is increasingly treated as essential objective evidence to verify compliance, prove non-culpability, and determine root causes when incidents occur. Compared to traditional local hard drives or tape archives, cloud-based recording eliminates physical hardware failure risks while substantially reducing local maintenance overhead. The combination of a ruggedized indoor/outdoor camera like the CC-3L and continuous cloud storage offers an effective risk mitigation infrastructure for modern production environments.

Evolving from Security Monitoring to On-Site Data Infrastructure

Historically, surveillance cameras operated primarily as passive security tools for theft deterrence and intrusion detection. However, rapid advancements in AI video analytics and cloud sensing technologies have expanded their role. Video data is now actively repurposed for marketing analytics, facility occupancy tracking, hazardous zone breach monitoring to prevent machinery accidents, and automated production line safety triggers.

The Techno Horizon Group is actively advancing integrated solutions that merge optical engineering, video IT, and robotics technology. The launch of the CC-3L and the enhancement of ELMO QBiC CLOUD reflect this strategic direction: transforming video monitoring from basic surveillance into next-generation data infrastructure that boosts productivity and operational safety. Future integration with advanced AI analytics and enterprise management platforms is set to further drive digital transformation (DX) across industrial sites, supporting safer and more sustainable operations.
