Dallmeier's
Pixim-enabled Picodome features ultra wide dynamic range to deliver
excellent image quality in a compact form factor.
Pixim Incorporated's award-winning Digital Pixel System® (DPS)
technology is the foundation for Dallmeier's DDF3000APV Picodome, the
world's first and smallest vandal-resistant IP66 weather-rated
mini-dome to employ Ultra Wide Dynamic Range (UWDR) imaging technology.
With the addition of the Picodome, Dallmeier now features twelve color
surveillance cameras using Pixim technology, including a variety of
box, minidome, composite, and TCP/IP offerings.
Dallmeier's Pixim-enabled Picodome is ideal for any applications that
require high image quality and a small camera profile such as
transportation systems (buses, transit, shipping, rail), elevators,
bank teller lines, retail, cash registers, schools, and more.
The Picodome is a high-resolution UWDR color camera featuring Cam_inPIX
technology (based on DPS technology) that delivers excellent image
quality and color rendition 24/7 both indoors and outdoors, in hot and
cold climates. Pixim's Orca chipset employs the industry's first
digital image sensor that captures light and converts it to a digital
signal directly in the pixel resulting in accurate information
collection by reducing the noise in the acquired signal.
Pixim's Orca chipset achieves dynamic range of up to 120dB, capturing
both dark shadows and bright highlights in the same scene at the same
time easing camera installation and providing better data for
downstream video analysis. Pixim's DPS technology also suppresses all
smearing and blooming artifacts that are common with older analog image
sensor technologies.
Kai Leuze, Director of Dallmeier Components comments:
"Dallmeier's Pixim-enabled Picodome sets a new benchmark for
enterprise-class security cameras, meeting the need for a small, IP66
weather proof, vandal resistant minidome, that delivers perfect
pictures in any conditions 24/7. Dallmeier continues to build on its
award winning family of surveillance cameras with Cam_inPIX technology
to bring to market the best and most innovative security cameras
possible. Our decision to use the latest Pixim DPS technology as a
basis for our own Cam_inPIX development has been proved wise"
The Picodome's factory presets result in natural color reproduction
with both NTSC and PAL image transfer options. The Picodome supports
remote Up-the-Coax (UTC) management of cameras via the video cable
using a Dallmeier recorder, PView Station, or via a UTC control box. A
push-and-lock rotating ball enables the user to easily configure the
camera to point in any direction.
