Panasonic Connect’s Cameleo Adopted as Foundation for Mitsubishi Electric Building Solutions’ New Video Cloud Service

Panasonic Connect Group announced that its on-site video utilization service, Cameleo, has been adopted as the foundation for Mitsubishi Electric Building Solutions’ new service, Ville-feuille(R) Video Cloud Service, scheduled to launch on May 25, 2026. The building management industry has recently faced urgent challenges including labor shortages, rising management costs, aging equipment, and the need to ensure business continuity during disasters. Conventional surveillance camera systems often require on-site recording devices, creating costs and maintenance burdens related to equipment failure and periodic parts replacement. Video checks also frequently require staff to visit the site, making rapid situational awareness difficult. Cameleo is a cloud service that enables centralized remote management of camera footage from multiple locations without requiring recorders. Since its release in 2023, it has supported on-site digital transformation across various industries by reducing operational burdens such as remote video checks and recording equipment maintenance. Its reliability and connectivity led to its adoption as the foundation for a new video cloud service linked with Mitsubishi Electric Building Solutions’ smart city and IoT platform, Ville-feuille(R). Through this integration, Ville-feuille(R) Video Cloud Service will allow buildings to keep using existing cameras, including Mitsubishi Electric cameras and analog cameras, while migrating to cloud recording. It will also enable remote integrated management of video from multiple buildings, helping address labor shortages and management cost issues in the building management sector. The integration delivers three main capabilities. First, Panasonic Connect developed a new multi-tenant management function for building management companies, enabling efficient management of large building portfolios and allowing owners to select managed buildings and view footage. Second, the service connects with Ville-feuille(R) through SSO authentication, allowing users to access Cameleo with their existing Ville-feuille accounts without logging in again. Third, it supports multi-vendor environments by officially supporting some Mitsubishi Electric cameras and expanding compatible GW-BOX connected camera models. It also supports Axis analog encoders, reflecting the widespread use of analog cameras in elevators and enabling a smooth migration to cloud services without wasting existing camera assets. Panasonic Connect Group said it will continue strengthening partnerships and provide Cameleo not only as a standalone service but also as a foundation for various systems, responding to diverse customer needs and helping solve on-site operational challenges. Ville-feuille(R) is an IoT platform that collects and stores operational and sensing data from building equipment such as elevators, air conditioning, lighting, service robots, and access control systems. It processes data using advanced technologies such as AI and big data analytics, providing services that help building owners reduce operating costs and enhance building value. By opening its API, the platform also allows service operators to implement their own applications on Ville-feuille and provide equipment-data-based services to building owners. Cameleo is a business cloud camera service that records camera footage to the cloud and enables remote monitoring via PCs, smartphones, and tablets. It also provides APIs for integration with various systems and SaaS services, allowing it to function as a platform for accelerating the use of accumulated data.
