PTZ cameras

by Mark Rowe

New from Johnson Controls, its next Tyco Illustra Pro PTZ cameras. The pan and tilts feature AI enabled edge analytics which detects and classifies objects such as people, bicycles, buses and cars ; and Intelligent Guard auto-tracking based on face or people detection.

The four new Illustra Pro Gen4 series PTZs are day-night cameras and provide hardware support for image stabilization for image quality even at maximum zoom.

The outdoor models have an IR (infra-red) distance of up to 200 metres, with the 2MP version offering up to 42x optical zoom and the 4K version providing up to 22x optical zoom. Both come with Shake-Dry lens clearing and have a minus 50 degrees C to 60 degrees C operating range.

The 2MP and 4K indoor models offer up to 30x and 22x optical zoom respectively and have an integrated microphone to provide support for a soon to be introduced suite of Audio AI analytics. They come with an integrated recess mounting, with the option of a pendant cap to allow for an alternate installation configuration. They also come with the choice of clear or smoked dome coverings.

The cameras can automatically control the pan and tilt speed in proportion to the amount of zoom used, delivering pan and tilt control. Using programmed pre-sets and tours, the cameras are able to move into position at up to 700 degrees per second, for the camera to its required position in under half a second.

All four of the new PTZ cameras feature Smart Wide Dynamic Range (WDR) for quality of images in varying lighting. By continuously analysing the scene, Smart WDR, without operator intervention, automatically adjusts tone mapping intensity and optimises images by enhancing darkened areas without over-saturating brighter areas.

Analytics include object detection, object abandoned/removed, crowd formation, dwell and perimeter protection. This allows users to set up real-time, user-customisable event alarms to enable them to respond to incidents. The Illustra Pro Gen 4 series PTZ cameras offer end-to-end video encryption, which includes camera to video management software; and SD card video encryption.

Sanjeev Singh, Senior Director, Product Management Security Products, says: “These new cameras are an excellent example of how Johnson Controls is delivering on its promise to develop video surveillance solutions which capitalize on the latest advances in technology.

“We are confident that users will be impressed with how the new cameras, with AI enabled edge analytics onboard, will help them maintain a safe and secure environment for their colleagues, contractors and customers, as well as protect their assets and property. As such, they present an excellent opportunity for system integrators to generate new business, whilst assisting their end-user clients to achieve maximum benefit from their video surveillance solutions.”
