Pixim’s
new 32mm reference board camera has been designed to cut the amount of
time it takes manufacturers to get their products to market.
The BDA-2500-32 is being marketed primarily towards companies that
manufacture products for compact applications, like small dome cameras.
"Traditionally, camera designers making security cameras for tight
spaces did not have the option of delivering high-quality image capture
performance," said John Monti, Pixim’s vice president of marketing and
business development.
"This reference design represents a real breakthrough by bringing
enterprise-class functionality – such as wide dynamic range, natural
colour, and greater varifocal lens capabilities – to extremely small
applications."
Pixim said the new design, which accommodates focal-length lenses,
means compact dome cameras can incorporate telephoto functions for the
first time
Cameras based on the BDA-2500-32 reference design are suitable for a
wide range of applications, including the inside of lifts, above tills
and in vehicles.
Devices that use the BDA-2500-32 reference board will also have access
to the features offered by Pixim’s Orca chipset, including advanced
exposure controls, multiple automatic white balance modes, AC line lock
and an on-screen display with push button or remote control of menus.
WDR controls, composite video output, activity detection alarms,
digital PTZ controls and day/night control for mechanical IR filter
switchers are also possible.
