Hikvision recently introduced two vari-focal models into its PICADIS analogue camera family. They are the DS-2CE15C2P(N)-VFIR3 720TV lines infra-red (IR) bullet camera and DS-2CE55C2P(N)-VFIR3 720TVL IR dome, which come with a 2.8mm~12mm adjustable lens allowing these models to operate at given focal distances to best suit a particular field of view. Compared to traditional vari-focal models (which require a screwdriver for focus and zoom adjustment), the bullet camera has a detachable ‘Focus and Zoom Tool’ to simplify the steps. Users need only remove the cover from the camera and plug one end in until the desired zoom and clarity is achieved. This 720TVL cameras series has a 1.3MP (1280×960) image sensor. This offers a detailed image quality of 720TV lines resolution. Both the models also share the majority of features with Hikvision’s previously released 720TVL PICADIS models: such as high resolution, High Dynamic Range, Adaptive Local Tone Mapping, and low-light performance.
These two models are available in colour and true day/night variants. With enhanced IR LEDs, the two cameras allow up-to 40m of vantage in complete darkness. Smart IR is supported to further address over-exposure issues when the object draws closer to the camera. Visit www.hikvision.com.
