Earlier today, Infinova announced that it will introduce a new family of ONVIF standard IP and megapixel cameras at IFSEC 2011 to help integrators more easily provide their customers with solutions that feature interoperability among hardware-to-hardware and hardware-to-software products.
Products in the M-Series family (to be formally introduced at IFSEC 2011, which runs from 16-19 May at the Birmingham NEC) provide ONVIF compatibility with a suite of fixed, mini-dome and high-speed megapixel dome PTZ cameras for both analogue and digital operation.
“While helping their customers migrate from analogue to digital video systems, integrators have been tearing their hair out because, seemingly, every digital camera vendor has created a separate camera interface,” emphasised Mark Wilson, Infinova’s vice-president of marketing.
“Since these cameras are based on ONVIF standards, integrators will no longer need to compromise when they want to realise a Best in Class solution.”
Megapixel resolution at 20 fps
The ONVIF standard Infinova M-Series cameras include megapixel resolution at 20 frames per second (fps), offer on-camera SD (secure digital) storage cards and are ruggedised.
The PTZ dome cameras provide high quality video 360 degree continuous rotation with pans at both high and low speeds.
To make installation easier for integrators, all ONVIF-compatible M-Series cameras feature both IP and analogue outputs. During installation or maintenance, integrators can attach a portable test monitor to facilitate easy and fast focusing.
The dual-output cameras let the user record on both NVRs and DVRs, even at the same time if that’s what’s required.
The cameras can be vandal-proofed, handle hot and cold extremes and have IP66 and IP67 ratings to protect against water and dust ingress.
The ONVIF-compatible PTZ dome cameras also provide 360 degree continuous panning at high megapixel resolutions and 90 degree tilting. Pans can be as slow as 0.08 degree per second, up to a high of 200 degrees per second.
Continuous rotation IP PTZ domes
Included is the popular Infinova V1771 HD 360 degree continuous rotation megapixel IP PTZ dome camera with 1.3 megapixel resolution. This provides HD video output as both an IP and an analogue YPbPr signal, and delivers 30 fps with an 18x optical zoom and a 12x digital zoom.
The camera leverages a 1.3 megapixel progressive scan CCD. It provides low-light performance at 0.02 lux, and offers both MPEG-4 and M-JPEG compression.
Users can produce 20 fps at 1280×960 resolution or 30 fps at 1280×720 resolution. 360 degree continuous pan with vertical auto flip allows smooth movement, high sensitivity and low noise.
Pan speed can be as low as 0.08 degrees per second and up to speeds of 200 degrees per second.
