Ricoh Introduces The “RICOH G800SE” A Digital Camera That Can Be Controlled Remotely From A Smartphone Rugged Camera Is Waterproof, Dustproof, And Impact- And Chemical Resistant October 8, 2014—TOKYO, Japan—Ricoh Industrial Solutions Inc. (helmed by president and COO Katsunori Nakata) today announced that its RICOH G800SE digital camera will be launched in mid-November, 2014. An advanced version of the waterproof, dustproof, impact- and chemical-resistant RICOH G800, the RICOH G800SE is enhanced with Wi-Fi features that allow data to be exchanged with smartphones and other devices over wireless networks. Having established a wireless connection to the new RICOH G800SE, photographers can use smartphones to display the view through the camera lens and take pictures after remotely zooming in and out, choosing a flash mode, and adjusting other camera settings. Photographs and other data can be downloaded to the smartphone, giving users more freedom to transfer image data and camera settings and making the camera that much more convenient to use. Instead of updating firmware, settings, and the like one camera at a time, operators with in-house networks can update multiple RICOH G800SE cameras simultaneously using administrator data stored on company servers, helping reduce administrator workload. The power of these features is demonstrated not only in infrastructure maintenance and disaster planning involving power, gas, water, and roads, but also in managing image data for local authorities, police, fire departments, and hospitals. Product name: RICOH G800SE Release date: Mid-November 2014

Principal Features of the New RICOH G800SE Digital Came
1. Connect to smartphones and computers Smartphones connected wirelessly via Wi-Fi can be used to view the camera shooting display, adjust zoom and other camera settings remotely, and take pictures from remote locations at almost any angle. Images taken with the camera can be displayed on the smartphone for immediate transmission to third parties. Camera memo list files created on a computer can be uploaded to the camera, making it easier to find and organize pictures. Detailed GPS location data can be added to images downloaded to smartphones, making it easy to tell similar locations apart. Smartphones can also be used to set the camera clock. 2. Administrator features enhanced for corporate networks Administrator features have been enhanced for corporate networks. Firmware updates, camera settings, and camera memo lists can be stored on the company server and applied to multiple cameras simultaneously. Cameras can now automatically be set to the time reported by the server. 3. Movies can now be recorded to tamper-proof memory cards Movies can now be recorded to San Disk SD WORM and Toshiba Write Once tamper-proof memory cards, as was the case with the camera’s predecessor, the G700SE. Tamper-proof cards can not be formatted and prevent the deletion and modification not only of movies but also of photographs, allowing these cards to be used in place of film as original documentation. 4. Improved Bluetooth® and wireless LAN The camera features built-in Bluetooth® version 2.1+EDR and wireless LAN (IEEE 802.11b/g/n) that can be used for high-speed wireless connections not only to computers but also to smartphones and other devices. It also supports WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setup™) for easy wireless setup. The RICOH G800SE also supports Enterprise Wi-Fi for improved security. 5. The RICOH G800SE boasts all the flexibility of its predecessor, the G700SE Like its predecessor, the RICOH G800SE supports optional GPS units with electronic compasses and can be used with the optional GP-1, which connects to the camera to form a compact package. Connecting the GP-1 allows location data to be added to pictures. Thanks to the electronic compass, the embedded data also include the compass heading. The RICOH G800SE also inherits its predecessor’s GPS track log function, allowing users to track the camera’s movements. The GP-1 is simple to attach using the supplied tools. The RICOH G800SE supports optional laser barcode reader units and can be used with the optional BR-1 linear barcode reader unit. The BR-1 uses a laser for faster scan speeds, making it easy to use even in the dark. With the GP-1 and BR-1 attached, the camera offers IP64 dust- and water-resistance and can withstand drops of up to 1.5 m. 6. In addition to excellent image quality, the RICOH G800SE offers the ruggedness needed for the toughest worksites, including water-, dust-, and impact-resistance
The RICOH G800SE offers the same features as the RICOH G800, including a back-illuminated, 16-million pixel CMOS image sensor for improved image quality, and chemical resistance that permits sterilization with liquid chlorine dioxide. Water-, dust-, and impact-resistant, tough enough even for construction sites and other heavyduty applications, with password-protection to restrict access to camera functions, and a watermark feature that allows users to reference a template when composing photographs, the RICOH G800SE boasts all the features and performance of the RICOH G800. 7. Improved password protection The RICOH G800SE offers improved password protection to control access to camera features. Password protection can be applied selectively not only to camera operations, menus, internal memory, and USB access, as was the case with the RICOH G800, but also to such features as Write Once memory cards and web server access. Passwords can be entered using barcodes or an on-screen keyboard. Camera access can be fine-tuned by setting separate administrator and user passwords for each feature. For example, by applying a password to camera menus, the administrator can restrict access to camera settings and prevent unintended changes when the camera is used in the workplace. Users in turn can password-protect the entire camera to prevent unauthorized third-party access. Two types of SD memory cards can be password protected: SDHC and SDXC. Password-protecting memory cards prevents images falling into the wrong hands should the card be lost or stolen.
