Offering 550 TV lines resolution in colour and 680 TV lines resolution in monochrome, the new camera is available for installers and their end users in either black or white colour options.
Raptor boasts a vandal-resistant cast aluminium housing with a host of features including a dual tilt mechanism, water repellent toughened glass, integrated wiper and an IP68 weatherproof rating.
According to Genie CCTV, this makes the Raptor “the ideal choice for a wide range of external applications where physical abuse and hard environmental conditions are likely”.
The cameras feature an IR cut-filter for day and night operation, a 37x powerful IR corrected zoom lens (3.5-129.5 mm) for long range identification, wide dynamic range, super digital noise reduction technology (SDNR), a highlight compensation feature and motion detection.
Commenting on the new cameras, Binit Shah – the popular marketing manager at Genie CCTV – explained: “Raptor is suitable for town councils, local authorities and car park applications. Installers will benefit from this new design which is flexible in providing downward/upward views. With their unique design, the cameras offer 360 degree pan rotation and a 295 degree tilt.
BDVR DVRs: security installer promotion
Meantime, to celebrate the successful launch of Genie CCTV’s BDVR series DVRs earlier on this year, the company is now running a sales promotion whereby security installers are able to collect ten vouchers (to be found inside the BDVR box) and redeem them with Genie for a free BDVR4/500 (a four-channel, 500 Gb machine).
The BDVR series DVRs are entry-level H.264 touch panel triplex digital video recorders in 4, 8 and 16 channel versions offering real-time recording (CIF) of 100 frames per second across all channels.
These “strikingly good looking” DVRs are supplied as standard with a touch panel design, offering real-time recording in CIF and supporting up to 1 Tb of internal storage.
All the recorders come with free multi-site client software, front and rear USB ports and a remote control. Back-up is via the USB port as the machines are not supplied with a DVD rewriter. The new machines use the SATA format hard drives from Seagate.
Binit Shah states that the BDVR series models are “ideal for installations running on a tight budget” and for those customers who don’t require a host of unnecessary features.
