View, Calif., -- Pixim's digital pixel system (DPS) technology is
integrated into Speco Technologies' new family of wide dynamic range
security box, bullet and dome cameras to provide high performance in
challenging lighting conditions.
Speco's Pixim-enabled surveillance cameras will sell through security
distribution channels to a wide variety of markets that include
industry, business, education and government, as well as high-end
residential.
Speco's new security cameras fully leverage Pixim's DPS technology, a
wide dynamic range solution, that delivers accurate video capture and
color accuracy in challenging lighting conditions, such as glare,
direct sunlight, reflections, and strong backlight, 24/7.
"Speco has had a keen interest in Pixim's novel technology for some
time," says Gary Perlin, Speco Technologies' vice president of video
products "Recent advancements in Pixim's Orca product family encouraged
us to take advantage of the benefits of DPS technology in our new high
quality, mainstream cameras. Pixim's wide dynamic range will be a key
feature addition for Speco in several of our core markets, including
industrial, business, educational, and government installations"
Pixim's DPS image sensor converts light to a digital signal at each
pixel, enabling each pixel to have independent, optimized exposure
times. DPS technology's image consistency and accuracy overcomes
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.
Speco's new family of Pixim-enabled cameras include the WDR-T6, a
traditional "box style" camera, the WDR-B1 bullet camera that is
weatherproof with a 2.8-10mm varifocal auto iris lens and the WDR-D3
dome camera that is both weatherproof and tamperproof with a 2.8-10mm
varifocal auto iris lens for wall or ceiling mount.
