Bosch Security Systems is launching 960H products: cameras, lenses, digital video recorders and monitors. The firm says it’s providing a complete 960H solution for every analogue application, to meet a range of budget and imaging requirements.
The company says that 960H image sensors serve as the bridge between standard resolution and high definition solutions. Suitable it is claimed for capturing fine scene details, they can produce video images with 30 percent higher resolution than previous generation analogue sensors, according to the makers. Customers can choose a complete 960H solution from Bosch or integrate the products into existing systems to capture greater detail.
Tom Verest, product manager at Bosch Security Systems, said: “There is an enormous amount of analog video infrastructure throughout the world, and new systems continue to be installed every day. With a full portfolio of 960H products, we’re enabling current customers to easily enhance their systems, while giving new customers the best in analog image quality.”
Cameras include new DINION 4000 and 6000 series and FLEXIDOME 5000 models that deliver features, such as Bilinx for verifying camera status, changing settings and performing other functions over the video cable. Also: the AN bullet 4000 family and AN micro 1000 and FLEXIDOME micro 1000 cameras; and indoor and outdoor AUTODOME cameras.
The new digital recorders, the DIVAR family of four-, eight- and 16-channel recorders, can capture and display images in full 960H resolution at rates up to 30 frames per second on all channels. DIVAR also supports recording in CIF, 2CIF and 4CIF resolutions for backward compatibility with older cameras from Bosch and other manufacturers. The DIVAR family uses the H.264 video and G.711 audio compression to reduce bandwidth and storage requirements by up to 50 percent the makers add.
The recorders are set up with intuitive configuration wizards over the Bosch user interface. Customers can view images from any location with the included client software, a web browser or apps compatible with a range of mobile devices.
Bosch’s UML family of LED 960H monitors are designed specifically for security cameras and provide high color saturation. All products in the 960H video portfolio will be available to order in the third quarter of 2013.
