The homes and buildings going up across Malaysia are getting smarter, and Panasonic wants to run the technology inside them. The company has launched two connected systems for the local market: the Panasonic S.iCITY Smart Living Solution for homes, and an AI Smart Surveillance Ecosystem for security.
Both were announced in Kuala Lumpur on 23 June 2026. Rather than selling individual gadgets, Panasonic Malaysia is pitching full ecosystems aimed at property developers, businesses, government agencies, and schools.

Panasonic smart living, run from one app
The S.iCITY Smart Living Solution is a smart home platform built on Zigbee 3.0 and Wi-Fi. From a single mobile app, residents can control lighting, motorised curtains, air conditioning, appliances, smart locks, and gas safety sensors. Preset scenes such as Good Night, Away Mode, and Movie Mode adjust everything at once, which Panasonic says also helps cut wasted energy.
It is designed to tie into Panasonic's wider range of home appliances, including its inverter air conditioners, refrigerators, washing machines, and ventilation systems. The pitch is aimed at developers who want to market smart, energy-efficient homes rather than at buyers retrofitting one room at a time.
AI cameras that watch for trouble
The second system is an AI Smart Surveillance Ecosystem built around Panasonic's E-Series, V-Series, and P-Series cameras, paired with network video recorders and video management software. The selling point is the analytics layer on top.
- AI video analytics with intrusion and perimeter detection
- Face recognition and ANPR (vehicle number plate recognition)
- Thermal imaging and smart incident management
- A cybersecure, open architecture that scales for large sites
Panasonic is positioning it for commercial buildings, government facilities, schools, smart townships, industrial sites, and critical infrastructure. These are places that need to move from simply recording footage to flagging problems as they happen.
Built for Malaysia's smart building push
Panasonic is framing both systems as part of Malaysia's move toward greener, more connected developments, with a nod to Green Building and ESG goals through its energy-efficient air conditioning, ventilation, and monitoring technologies.
"We are not simply introducing products," said Seelan Kandasamy, Associate Director of System Solutions at Panasonic Malaysia, describing the launch as a shift from hardware supplier to smart solutions partner.
For now the systems are sold through Panasonic's business channels rather than off the shelf. Developers and organisations can find more detail on Panasonic Malaysia's S.iCITY business page.
