Samsung Techwin has added a fixed lens IR dome camera to its WiseNetIII 2MP Full HD (1080P) network camera range.
The company says that the SND-6011R is suitable for schools, hospitals, offices and retail stores where budgets may be restricted and yet there is a need to capture evidence-grade images from a large number of cameras.
The SND-6011R joins nine other camera models with the WiseNetIII DSP chipset and have been developed by the manufacturer as a result of market research which identified what users and installers felt were the key ‘must haves’ for high definition IP network cameras whether for upgrades or otherwise specified.
The ONVIF compliant SND-6011R, which is equipped with a 3.8mm fixed lens, is a true Day/Night camera with an infra-cut filter. It is designed to capture colour images at an ultra fast frame rate of 60 frames per second at 1080p. Objects up to 10m from the camera can be viewed even in total darkness it’s claimed with the help of built-in IR LEDs.
Using H.264 compression with the option to also use MJPEG compression, the product has a multi-crop feature so that users can 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. A full overview as well as multiple cropped images from the whole area, can if required, be transmitted simultaneously with this flexibility in the video’s resolution and frame rate, allowing smarter use of network bandwidth.
Other features include enhanced Wide Dynamic Range which with performance greater than 120dB makes the SND-6011R suitable, for example the makers say, in reception areas or lobbys where there may be strong external lighting and large amounts of glass. The camera also has a built-in SD/SDHC/SDXC memory slot which lets authorised users remotely access and download video that has been recorded onto a memory card.
The camera comes with 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. Or, the motion detection built into the WiseNetIII DSP chipset can reduce the false alarm rate by learning what is the normal motion of the scene and ignoring, for example, the fluttering leaves of trees.
