Applications
Security cameras that use Pixim's Digital Pixel System® technology can capture high-quality, detailed images - including accurate color, skin tone, facial features, and other characteristics - in both the darkest and lightest areas of a scene simultaneously. And they maintain that image quality even under harsh, uncontrolled, or radically changing lighting conditions. What's more, Pixim's chipsets are engineered to withstand wide temperature fluctuations without degrading image quality.
Pixim's technology works in all lighting conditions, making it the most versatile solution for numerous applications, including:
Pixim's technology performs particularly well in the following areas:
- Environments with backlight - such as inside a building or vehicle looking outside, on a loading dock, in a lobby

- Situations where natural color is important - such as distinguishing between red and black playing cards in a casino, tracking cargo containers, identifying people
- Any scene that depends on high resolution - such as providing evidentiary-quality images following a crime, recognizing specific faces, identifying license plates or markings on train cars

- Glare, reflections, and other lighting conditions that produce image artifacts in CCD-based security cameras - such as vertical smear, pixel blooming, image washout, over-saturation, or under-development
Pixim's Digital Pixel System technology delivers unprecedented image quality in all lighting conditions. Cameras powered by Pixim's specialized image processing chipsets can significantly enhance security through the following capabilities:
- Widest dynamic range: Captures highlight and shadow detail - including backlit images - in the same scene.
- Highest total resolution: Makes it easy to distinguish image features and details, even in uncontrolled or highly variable lighting conditions and with magnification/zoom.
- Superior color rendering: Accurately displays color even in difficult lighting such as indoor/outdoor, glare, bright sunlight, reflection, and fluorescent lighting.
- No "camera blindness": Eliminates the vertical smear, pixel blooming, and other image artifacts commonly experienced by CCD-based cameras in high-contrast scenes.
- High image compression: By eliminating image-compromising visual noise, Pixim-Powered cameras save valuable recording space that is gobbled up by traditional cameras.
