Tyco Security Products has introduced the new Illustra Pro 2 megapixel mini-dome cameras. The products feature new UltraVision low light technology to capture colour video in the most extreme low light, the makers say.
The firm says UltraVision gives the ability to identify people and objects of interest in near total darkness, while maintaining colour video well below 0.05 lux. The product is claimed to be suitable for applications such as car parks, alleyways, warehouses and other settings with challenging lighting; and removes the need to install supplementary lighting, or the requirement to leave lights on to retain colour pictures.
The mini-dome’s on-board face detection analytics can generate an event every time a face is detected. Operators can review events in the video management software to locate the video they require. Other analytics such as blur detection and tampering can alert operators if someone tries to cover or tamper with the camera. The 2MP mini-dome provides up to five individual regions of interest to maximise the detail clarity in areas identified as most important.
Features include:
• Automatically increasing video quality to areas of interest and to people’s faces reduces storage requirements and system bandwidth usage, ultimately helping to reduce the cost of a surveillance system
• True wide dynamic range (100db) optimises video in varied lighting.
• Blur detection intelligence alerts users when camera focus or cleaning is necessary so cameras can be refocused, reducing downtime and maintenance calls
• Motorised 3-9 mm or 9-22 mm lens option available. Auto-focus and field of view are set from the web browser, which speeds up the installation time of each Illustra Pro camera
Stuart Bettle, Video Product Marketing Manager, EMEA, Tyco Security Products, said: “In many security scenarios today, it’s critically important to be able to identify people and objects of interest in extreme low light situations. With the introduction of Illustra Ultravision, Tyco Security Products is able to provide exceptional low light colour video quality 24/7 for our customers.”
As the domes are compatible with American Dynamics VideoEdge and exacqVision video management system (VMS) software and recorders, the exacqVision video management system (VMS) software can be installed directly on the camera for a what is described as a self-contained, high definition IP video solution. Edge recording to the camera is suited the makers say for temporary, dispersed or small systems with a low camera count.
Available in vandal-resistant IK-10 indoor and outdoor models, the Illustra Pro 2MP mini-dome cameras operate in the most extreme temperatures, as low as minus 30 degrees Celsius when powered using standard PoE network power. Outdoor models are IP66-rated and protect against water and dust damage. A full line of indoor plenum caps and mounting clips are available for recessed flush installation. A selection of outdoor mounting options are available.
