IP Dome Camera features real-time controlled frame rate.

Press Release Summary:




Dome camera has Activity Controlled Frame rate (ACF), which controls frame rate of video stream based on amount of motion in scene, and analytics that enable video to only be displayed when incident occurs. Unit offers H.264 compression as well as video at 4SIF 25/30 fps. Its dual encoding capabilities allow up to 6 separate video streams to be transmitted over network. Two opto-isolated inputs and opto-isolated relay output, which allow external systems to be connected, are also included.

IndigoVision Launches New IP Dome Camera with WDR and Low Light Sensitivity



High performing addition to IndigoVision's 9000 camera product line

EDISON, NJ - IndigoVision, the leading manufacturer of complete IP Video security solutions, has launched an IP dome based on Pixim's 'Seawolf' sensor. Using progressive scan and the best Wide Dynamic Range (WDR) in the industry, it delivers outstanding picture quality, even in challenging lighting. Unlike CCD cameras, there is no trade-off between low-light performance and WDR, as the advanced sensor technology allows individual pixels to dynamically adjust to lighting conditions.

This dome is part of IndigoVision's end-to-end IP Video solution, with its renowned H.264 compression built-in. It delivers excellent video at 4SIF 25/30 fps, with a guarantee that no frames will be dropped even in high-motion scenes. The range includes standard internal, vandal resistant internal and vandal resistant external cameras, with ceiling and wall mounting options and standard or telephoto lenses.

IndigoVision's analytics and Activity Controlled Frame rate (ACF) run in real-time within the dome. Performing analytics at the edge removes bottlenecks and enables instant response, allowing operators to use what is known as 'dark screen' monitoring, where video is only displayed when an incident occurs. ACF controls the frame rate of the video stream based on the amount of motion in the scene. When there is no activity, video is streamed at minimal bandwidth; the instant any motion is detected, video is simultaneously transmitted at maximum configured frame rate. This significantly reduces the bandwidth and NVR storage requirement for cameras monitoring generally static scenes or during quiet periods such as at night and is unique to IndigoVision.

The dome also has dual encoding capabilities allowing up to six separate video streams to be transmitted over the network, with any combination of resolution and frame rate. This is useful in distributed systems, where a high-resolution stream is recorded locally on a Network Video Recorder (NVR) and a lower-resolution second stream is transmitted across a wireless link or WAN to remote operators.

This dome has many additional features including Power-over-Ethernet (PoE) for lower installation costs, and built-in input/output (I/O) capability. Two opto-isolated inputs and an opto-isolated relay output allow external systems to be connected. The inputs can trigger events and alarms in 'Control Center', IndigoVision's Video Management Software, and the output can be switched by automatically generated or operator controlled actions.

"This camera is a top performer in challenging lighting situations due to its excellent implementation of pixel-level WDR." - MJ Oosthuizen, Product Manager & System Specialist, Norbain SA(PTY) LTD.
