New "Smart Camera with Calling Function" Launched, Enabling Video Calls to Smartphones with One Button, Perfect for Monitoring Distant Family or Children Home Alone

KJ-220 Smart Camera Pan/Tilt/High Brightness/Video Call - Monitoring distant family members using the product.

Kashimura Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Adachi-ku, Tokyo; hereinafter "Kashimura") will launch the smart camera "KJ-220 Smart Camera Pan/Tilt/High Brightness/Video Call" on June 30, 2026. This camera allows for video calls with smartphones via a one-touch operation from the camera side. Responding to the need for monitoring children home alone or elderly family members living far away, it proposes a new style of monitoring that goes beyond simple surveillance to facilitate two-way communication.

While conventional network cameras have primarily been used to check video from the smartphone side, this product is equipped with a "call button" on the front of the unit. Even children who do not have smartphones or elderly individuals unfamiliar with operating devices can easily initiate a video call to family by simply pressing the button, leading to peace of mind for both parties.
