The company hopes that this will simplify both the setup and maintenance of roadside camera installations where a fiber network is required in long distance applications.
A spokesman said: “There are few media available in the video surveillance industry that improve image quality while at the same time reducing costs. Yet fiber optic networks do just that. They also maintain the integrity of signals over longer distances and offer more bandwidth than twisted-pair or coax cables. Not to mention that fiber cabling is impervious to electromagnetic interference, such as that caused by high-voltage power lines and lightning.”
IP and quad-streaming
Roger Decker, director of solutions and marketing at Optelecom-NKF, said: “Network equipment being developed today needs to be able to handle IP traffic, regardless of the medium connecting it to the network.
“That is why Optelecom-NFK recently developed five new IP PTZ dome cameras that can connect directly to a fixed network or wireless bridge via either twisted-pair or fiber optic cabling. We want customers to be able to select hardware based on its ability to withstand variances on the network and to provide high-quality streams.”
The new camera line consists of five cameras, each optimised for its application, with indoor, outdoor, compact and high-speed dome camera options. They have been made with the ability to quad-stream, supporting dual H.264 streams in addition to configurable MPEG-2, MPEG-4, and MJPEG.
Siqura around the world
Optelecom said: “All the Siqura cameras are designed to comply with worldwide adopted standards and are tested with leading VMS vendors. This makes it possible to query or set PTZ coordinate positions or to integrate Siqura cameras into third-party systems.
“Furthermore, the new Siqura IP PTZ camera line comes with an easy-to-use, access-controlled, web-based user interface, allowing users to configure or view video streams from a PC or even via handheld devices, such as PDAs.”
The series includes a day/night, or IR-cut filter and backlight compensation as standard features designed to be applied manually or automatically. There is also a wide dynamic range functionality.
