Samsung Techwin’s new WiseNetIII 2MP Full HD network vandal-resistant dome camera, the SNV-6084, is designed to work in severe weather and resist physical attack.
The SNV-6084, which is IK10 vandal resistant and weatherproof to IP66, can withstand temperature variations of minus 50 to plus 55 degrees C, making it suitable the makers say in even the most challenging conditions. The company adds that applications include airports, ports, car parks, trading estates and open public spaces where there is a need to capture evidence grade images from a large number of cameras.
Both the SNV-6084’s camera and its in-built heater can be powered by standard PoE (Power over Ethernet), negating the need for the installation of separate cables for power and image transmission, or additional costly midspans.
With a 3-8.5mm motorised varifocal lens, the ONVIF conformant SNV-6084 is described as a true day-night camera with an infra-cut filter. It is designed to capture colour images at an rate of 60fps (frames per second) at 1080p and features Wide Dynamic Range which with performance greater than 120dB can accurately produce images in scenes that simultaneously contain very bright and very dark areas.
In November 2013, Samsung Techwin will add to its WiseNetIII 2MP Full HD network range with the SNV-5084 vandal and extreme weather resistant dome camera. Equipped with a 1.3 megapixel camera, the SNV-5084 will share all the key features of the SNV-6084 which include H.264 compression with the option to also use MJPEG compression, and a multi-crop feature enabling users to highlight and crop up to nine areas of interest, for the camera to only send the images within that area at a preferred resolution and frame rate, enabling a much smarter and efficient use of the available network bandwidth.
Other features include Digital Image Stabilization (DIS), which negates the effects of vibration, and Defog which can be used to help improve the clarity of images captured in poor weather conditions such as rain, smoke or fog. A built-in SD/SDHC/SDXC memory slot lets authorised users remotely access and download video that has been recorded onto a memory card.
The SNV-5084 and SNV-6084 will both offer Intelligent Video Analytics (IVA) which can assist in the detection of activity by various means, such as tripwire and enter/exit direction, object appear/disappear and ‘tampering’, which creates an alert if paint is sprayed on a camera lens or there is unauthorised movement of a camera away from its usual field of view. Alternatively, the motion detection technology built into the WiseNetIII DSP chipset can greatly reduce the false alarm rate by learning what is the normal motion of the scene and ignoring, for example, the fluttering leaves of trees.
The SNV-6084 and SNV-5084 join 13 other camera models that have the WiseNetIII DSP chipset. These have been developed by Samsung Techwin the firm says as a result of a market research which identified what users and installers felt were the key ‘must haves’ for high definition IP network cameras.
