New from Canon Europe are nine new network security cameras. The range offers an array of camera formats, including devices for outdoor and indoor use, pan tilt and zoom (PTZ), fixed domes and fixed box cameras. All nine feature the company’s Ultra-low Dispersion lens technology, with wide angle of views, antireflective infrared coating and a new high sensitivity CMOS sensor for low light use.

The new PTZ cameras offer users longer zoom range, while the latest outdoor additions feature IK10 vandal resistance certification. The housing design and camera body material for the outdoor cameras also allow a larger temperature range of operation for use in various climate conditions.
The whole range have H.264 encoding and redefined image quality settings. The new Area-specific Data Size Reduction (ADSR) offers users greater bandwidth control by allowing users to select up to eight areas in the field of view for high definition recording, while the remaining areas are recorded in standard definition. This helps to reduce overall storage costs, the makers add.
The latest cameras feature two types of lenses: the High UD and Super UD. According to the makers, Super UD lenses minimise inconsistent focus under visible and infrared light, and help maintain focus and high resolution when switching between light sources; and the High UD counteracts chromatic aberration while reducing the lens’ overall physical size, making these the first Canon network cameras with High UD lenses.
Julian Rutland, Planning and Strategy Director, Canon Europe, says: “Video surveillance has become an essential tool against crime and to improve safety. The CCTV industry is evolving rapidly and it’s important for integrators to be able to offer customers solutions that cater for their specific environment and business needs. Our new cameras are a fantastic addition to the surveillance camera landscape, offering the high-quality low-light performance demanded by the market while keeping bandwidth requirements to a minimum.”
The new network camera range comes with Profile S ONVIF compatibility, allowing for integration with most video management software platforms, as well as Profile G, for the recording, searching, and play-back of footage from the edge recording device.
Julian Rutland adds: “Our new cameras offer system integrators and customers the product format, performance, durability, compliance and certifications that the evolving security market is now demanding, helping these devices to stand out as true high-end network video surveillance cameras for indoor and outdoor use.”
