Honeywell today released a rugged indoor/outdoor mini-dome IP camera that provides three times the image resolution of standard analogue cameras, yet with similar network bandwidth requirements.
The HD4MDIPX represents the latest addition to Honeywell’s line of HD IP cameras that provide high quality images to help operators complete investigations faster while at the same time reducing the infrastructure needed to support the overall surveillance system.
The true day/night, vandal-resistant fixed mini-dome provides 720p resolution at full frame rate. It also helps save money with its low power consumption rate and ability to be retrofitted on many existing digital and network video recorder installations without requiring additional storage capabilities.
That alone dramatically decreases the cost of infrastructure and total cost of ownership for the end user.
Picture quality and cost
“When it comes to video surveillance, the top two things on end users’ minds today are picture quality and cost,” said Roberto Testani, product manager at Honeywell Security Group.
“The HD4MDIPX is another example of how we’re continuing to deliver on the promise of IP by addressing both of those concerns. These cameras provide extremely crisp images at minimal bandwidth, reducing the number of hardware servers needed to manage the system.”
Like the indoor-version HD3MDIPX, which Honeywell released earlier this year, the HD4MDIPX features an externally accessible, web-based menu that lets operators view and control cameras from virtually anywhere.
The cameras also feature built-in motion detection capabilities and camera tamper detection features that notify users when the camera’s field of view is altered, obstructed or blurred.
The HD4MDIPX also decreases installation and training costs through its simplified set-up, which includes the same programming requirements as interior cameras. Due to this, operators can cover a wider range of applications without having to learn new products.
MAXPRO video management system
In addition to the HD4MDIPX and HD3MDIPX cameras, Honeywell’s growing line of IP video technology includes a complete selection of recording solutions and the MAXPRO video management system platform.
The company will soon expand its camera line to include bullet and box camera options.
