Regensburg (Germany), 29 April 2026 – The Panomera® V8 from Dallmeier has once again received a prestigious design award: at the Red Dot Award 2026, the multifocal sensor camera was honored with the highest distinction, “Best of the Best,” in the “Product Design” category.
After already winning the iF Design Award 2026, the Panomera® V8 has now also impressed the jury of the Red Dot Design Award. The Red Dot Design Award is one of the most internationally renowned competitions in the field of design. The competition looks back on a history spanning more than 70 years: since 1955, it has recognized products that stand out for their high design quality.
Excellent design in an international comparison
The Panomera® V8 from Dallmeier prevailed in a highly competitive field with numerous submissions from around the world in the “Product Design” discipline. At the core of the competition is the thorough evaluation by the independent Red Dot jury, composed of internationally experienced experts from various disciplines. They carefully examine all submissions in a multi-stage evaluation process and assess them based on key aspects of good design – including function, usability, responsibility, and aesthetic quality.
Red Dot: Best of the Best
The “Red Dot: Best of the Best” is the highest distinction of the Red Dot Design Award – only the very best products in a category receive this quality label. It stands for groundbreaking design and outstanding product quality. During the evaluation process, the jury rates the awarded products using the so-called Red Dot Winner Points – with a maximum of 100 points. The Panomera® V8 achieved the top score of 100 Red Dot Winner Points.
Technology and design in perfect harmony
With the Panomera® V8, Dallmeier has developed a revolutionary camera that combines state-of-the-art multifocal sensor technology and artificial intelligence in a single system – delivering seamless 180° coverage without blind spots and highly precise analysis even across large areas.
The Red Dot Award not only recognizes the technological innovation but also the consistent design approach: the Panomera® V8 impresses with a functional, clearly structured design that optimally supports the specific requirements of modern video security systems while ensuring maximum efficiency in operation.
Dallmeier: Turn images into assets.
With pioneering video technology from Germany.
In 1984 Dieter Dallmeier founded what is now Dallmeier electronic – not in the proverbial garage, but in a garden shed in Regensburg, Germany. Today, the company, which can justifiably call itself a hidden champion for video information technology “Made in Germany”, has several hundred employees worldwide, more than 250 of them at the company headquarters in the center of Regensburg alone.
Our customers: From commercial enterprises to World Cup stadiums
Dallmeier's camera, recording, software, and analysis solutions optimize security and processes for B2B end customers in a wide range of industries in over 60 countries. The focus is on users from the casino, smart city, airports, logistics, stadiums, and industrial sectors. But also, banks, critical infrastructure facilities as well as medium-sized companies from all sectors.
Low total cost of ownership “Made in Germany”
With pioneering innovations, Dallmeier has succeeded time and again in placing itself at the forefront of technology: From the world's first digital image storage system with motion analysis in 1992, the patented “multifocal sensor technology” Panomera® with its “Mountera®” mounting system, to the latest Domera® camera family, which allows up to 300 camera variants with only 18 components. These and many other innovations provide real, tangible customer benefits. And with a low Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) and a high Return on Investment (ROI) they can easily compete with systems produced and supplied from low-wage countries.
Cybersecurity, data protection and ethical responsibility through maximum vertical integration
With “Made in Germany”, we also guarantee our customers the highest standards in data protection, cybersecurity, and ethical responsibility. With high quality and short supply chains, we also ensure – almost incidentally – sustainability and environmental protection. From our prestigious headquarters in the center of Regensburg, Dallmeier not only carries out its own research and development but also the complete manufacturing process – from component to product to solution.
