In
recent test results published by Protector Magazine, a physical
security publication in Germany, surveillance camera entries with Pixim
chipsets claimed four of the top five rankings for best wide-dynamic
range security cameras, out of a total of sixteen cameras tested.
Dallmeier, Honeywell, JVC, and Verint cameras, all enabled with Pixim's
chipsets with Digital Pixel System (DPS) technology, were ranked at the
top of the wide dynamic range scale in the competition. Each of the
four cameras are differentiated with unique feature sets, but the
overriding factor in determining excellence of wide dynamic range image
quality is the Pixim chipset integrated into each product offering.
Pixim's DPS image sensor converts light to a digital signal at each
pixel, enabling each pixel to have independent, optimized exposure
times to deliver the highest image quality and color accuracy. DPS
technology's image consistency and accuracy is known for overcoming
typical impediments of existing analog CCD sensors, which have trouble
producing positive subject identification caused by image blooming and
smear, as well as limited color fidelity.
According to Protector Magazine the Dallmeier DF3000A-DN is noted for
the "...sharpness of its images with exceptionally convincing color
rendering, color intensity and outline of details." Honeywell
Security's HCCWD484X stood out for its "...ability to handle side
lighting, as the image remains very good, where the color rendering is
perfect even in the dark part of the image." JVC's TK-WD310-e(B) front
lit images impressed judges, "...with dark and bright areas perfectly
reproduced." Verint's S2600e delivered "...a harmonious picture
impression, and a good sharpness, where the white balance is accurate
and the color rendering neat."
