The new cameras include the CamVu HyperD
Internet Protocol (IP) camera using the newest member of Pixim's
popular Orca™ chipset family, as well as automatic number plate
recognition (ANPR)-optimized cameras with HyperSense technology, based on Pixim's Eclipse™ ambient light rejection system.
New
CamVu IP cameras offer improved low-light sensitivity. The Dedicated
Micros CamVu HyperD is a box IP camera that uses Pixim's latest Orca-E
digital imager, which significantly improves low-light performance
while retaining Pixim's Digital Pixel System® technology advantages of
superb image quality and color fidelity, even in variable and
high-contrast lighting conditions.
Hugh Devereux, vice president global product management of Dedicated Micros said:
"Our new CamVu HyperD camera, the latest addition to our CamVu range of
NetVu connected cameras, is designed for all applications where the
wide dynamic range, color rendition, and low noise benefits of the
Pixim-powered HyperD technology are required from an IP camera.
Additionally, the new camera has improved low-light sensitivity
compared to our analog product, offering an optimal balance between
low-light and high-contrast performance"
The CamVu HyperD camera is expected to be ideal for markets including the following:
• Retail and leisure:
Situations where high-contrast images are present, such as indoors with
a camera facing toward windows or a doorway, as well as environments
requiring superior color rendition, such as gaming and banking.
• Transportation:
Anywhere with high-contrast images, such as transit stations, aboard
trains or buses, or outdoors with reflections of glass and metal.
• General external security: External applications in variable lighting including both sunny and low-light conditions.
The
CamVu HyperD is a box camera that is compatible with standard 1/3"-
format CS-mount auto iris lenses. The camera operates seamlessly with a
Dedicated Micros NetVu Connected network, including support for
recording of multiple video-stream images. In addition, the camera
supports analytics solutions available from Dedicated Micros; remote
configuration and remote viewing; multi-mode recording, such as non-
alarm, alarm and static profiles; and a Power-over-Ethernet (PoE)
option.
HyperSense cameras improve ANPR performance Available in
both NTSC/PAL and IP models, Dedicated Micros' ANPR- optimized
HyperSense cameras use Pixim's Eclipse technology to speed ANPR
computation and increase the accuracy with which number plates can be
read, even in the presence of headlight and solar glare and reflections.
Pixim's
Eclipse technology overcomes the challenges imposed by unpredictable
ambient light, and number plate (license plate) recognition is a prime
application for this technology. The Eclipse technology takes advantage
of the fast exposure capability of Pixim's Digital Pixel System®
technology as well as synchronized-IR (infrared) active capture and
global electronic shutter.
As a result, the
Dedicated Micros HyperSense camera, achieves extreme ambient light
rejection without any motion artifacts ~ which translates into clear
images of license plates even on fast-moving vehicles or in the
presence of glare, flare, or shadows.
Devereux said:
"Our new special-purpose HyperSense cameras, based on Pixim's Eclipse
technology, are able to remove all light and motion artifacts from a
scene, leaving only the crisp, clear images intended: the license
plates. Our ANPR-optimized cameras will significantly enhance the
effectiveness of applications ranging from petrol forecourt monitoring
to car park barrier control"
Dedicated Micros also offers Pixim-powered ICE mini-domes and box
cameras, including the NTSC/PAL ICED-HyperD family built around Pixim's
popular Orca chipset.
John Monti, vice president of marketing and business development, Pixim said:
"Dedicated Micros is known worldwide for its leadership in networked
video security systems and, increasingly, in video security cameras.
Pixim is pleased to play a part in Dedicated Micros' industry- leading
solutions"
