Visionhitech Americas, Inc. of Irvine, California has introduced new
security cameras integrating Seawolf, Pixim's latest chip technology.
Visionhitech has developed a Seawolf-powered outdoor
vandal dome (VD70D88) that is only 3" in diameter as well as a
dual-voltage, true day night box camera (VC58D88).
Through
Seawolf, Visionhitech's new security cameras offer 690 HTVL effective
resolution and the industry's proven best wide dynamic range. In
addition, Seawolf-based security cameras require just 0.1 lux of
illumination to produce usable, colour images at a full 30 frames per
second.
"Our Seawolf-powered cameras give end users the
flexibility they need in their applications while reducing costs. For
instance, the small size of the VD70D88 lends itself well to elevator
and bus applications. Since it's not easily damaged, it can be placed
almost anywhere," explains Scott Hamasaki, president of Visionhitech
Americas. "The VC58D88 box camera has an IR cut filter that provides
optimal color in daytime and fully realises the low light sensitivity at
night. Plus, with its dual-voltage capabilities, you can select AC
power to take advantage of smaller diameter wire or DC power which
enables you to easily provide backup power using a PSU/Charger with
battery."
"Seawolf-powered cameras are changing the security
camera market," says John Monti, Pixim's vice president of marketing and
business development. "Pixim's single board camera modules based on the
Seawolf chip make it easier for manufacturers to develop compact camera
formats. But don't let the size of the camera fool you; all Seawolf
cameras produce high quality images in any lighting condition from
strong daylight to lowlight."
