VIVOTEK Launches the CC8130(HS), a New Height-Strip Network Camera for Reliable Facial Recognition VIVOTEK is pleased to announce the recent launch of a new height-strip network camera, the CC8130(HS), featuring 1-Megapixel video resolution at 30 fps, a 180 degree wide-angle lens and heightstrip housing design, allowing the camera to deliver clear images for reliable facial recognition with no dead angles. In addition, the plug-and-play design makes the CC8130(HS) installation both simple and rapid. Combining low-profile and high-level features, the CC8130(HS) is ideal for discreet indoor applications, such as retail, banks, restaurants, small businesses and particularly in cashier areas. The CC8130(HS) opens up new horizons for surveillance users who need a system that blends in, but want images that stand out. “Capturing clear facial images is one of the most critical issues in surveillance. One solution is to mount the camera at eye-level, but this increases the risk of vandalism. VIVOTEK, the professional solution provider, is proud to release the CC8130(HS) with discreet eye-level mounting, allowing capture of clearer facial images than ceiling-mounted cameras, even when subjects wear hats or hoods,” said Tim Su, Director, Marketing Division at VIVOTEK. “Additionally, the CC8130(HS) offers graduated and color-coded height measurements in both U.S. and Metric units to meet the needs of users all over the world.” To dramatically reduce file sizes and conserve valuable network bandwidth, the CC8130(HS) supports the industry-standard H.264 compression technology. Combined with the ST7501 multi-lingual 32-channel recording software, users can quickly and easily set up an IP surveillance system that’s simple to operate but hard to beat.

Panasonic Releases new IP network Security Cameras Full-featured cameras are easy to install and deploy in a variety of locations Panasonic Australia recently announced its new network-friendly 5 Series security cameras. Suited for both indoor and outdoor applications, the 5 Series provides outstanding images and wide dynamic range performance, incorporating Enhanced Super Dynamic capabilities for clear and easy identification in high contrast scenes and backlight situations. The new 5 Series Network Cameras include the WV-SFV531 Outdoor Vandal Resistant Dome, the WV-SFR531 Indoor Vandal Resistant Dome, the WV-SFN531 Indoor Dome and the WV-SPN531 Indoor Fixed. Robert Wensing, Group Manager, Security, Panasonic Australia, said: “The new 5 Series dome cameras deliver great performance and a dramatically reduced cost of ownership. They offer high sensitivity and provide clear images in low lighting conditions. With Full HD 1080p resolution at up to 60 frames per second, they are capable of capturing rapidly moving objects from bills in banking environments to vehicle licence plates on the road, or moving chips and cards in casinos.” “All of our fixed network cameras are designed to withstand harsh conditions both outdoor and indoor which make them highly durable and reliable. They are very network-friendly, with technologies that save bandwidth, maintain quality and allow quick review of footage.” Panasonic’s new 5 Series Dome and Fixed Network cameras also provide advanced features such as 133dB Enhanced Super Dynamic Range, and day/night functionality with a built-in removable infrared (IR) cut filter. The 5 Series uses Panasonic’s latest image sensor technology combined with Multi-process Noise Reduction (MNR), resulting in high sensitivity of 0.07 lux in colour images, and the ability to deliver clear images with minimum ambient light. The 5 Series conserves network bandwidth by sending out multiple H.264 and JPEG streams, sized appropriately for each device requirement (monitors, recorders, mobile applications). Higher H.264 compression algorithms included in the powerful UniPhier® Shadow Compression Engine LSI processors save network bandwidth and recorder disk space while maintaining high image quality. Finally, supporting four transmission modes of constant bitrate, frame rate, best effort and advanced VBR, the new 5 Series cameras enable a flexible and effective network design for any application. For local storage options, the 5 Series cameras come equipped with an SDXC memory card slot for on-board recording. The cameras are available now from Panasonic Security distributors and resellers.
