Bosch FLEXIDOME IP corner 9000 MP camera suitable for critical areas
Bosch FLEXIDOME IP corner 9000 MP camera suitable for critical areas

Modern video safety surveillance has to be able to observe locations with poor lighting conditions which are prone to vandalism. The new FLEXIDOME IP corner 9000 MP camera from Bosch specifically addresses these requirements, making it particularly suitable for such critical areas as bus stations, care facilities, and hospitals. By supplying usable, clear video images even in completely dark surroundings, the camera enables video surveillance to act as a truly preventive component in the safety of public traffic users and patients. Safety personal will gain a much higher situational awareness and thus will be able to intervene at an early stage.  Critical areas, such as waiting rooms, are prone to vandalism, which is often aimed at the surveillance equipment itself. While the fundamental problem may be poor lighting conditions or even complete darkness, it is still necessary to cover the entire area with a minimum number of cameras, while providing extra illumination as well as resistance to vandalism or tampering. Addressing these needs, the FLEXIDOME IP corner 9000 MP camera features high-resolution, wide-angle optics for maximum detail and image usability, as well as a wide-angle fisheye lens for covering every corner. Furthermore, in order to supply additional illumination as needed, integrated active infrared LEDs maintain video clarity even in complete darkness. Thanks to its rugged and non-grip design, the camera is extremely difficult to tamper with. Finally, it is equipped with the latest Content Based Imaging Technology, which lowers bandwidth consumption and thus storage costs by up to 50 percent by way of intelligent Dynamic Image Noise Reduction (iDNR). This innovative feature suppresses all irrelevant image noise artifacts, therefore substantially reducing the bandwidth required.   “Providing better security in single-room surroundings or areas with critical light conditions is an increasingly important requirement for video surveillance,” explains Arnaud Lannes, Product Marketing Manager Video Systems at Bosch Security Systems. “The new FLEXIDOME IP corner 9000 MP camera represents a solution not only for care facilities, but also for industrial environments that need extra protection.”   The FLEXIDOME IP corner 9000 MP camera seamlessly integrates with a wide range of security software and recording solutions from Bosch, such  as the Video Management System BVMS and DIVAR IP recorders, as well as those of third-party suppliers, as it is ONVIF compliant. The camera is also supported by the Integration Partner Program, which gives partners  immediate access to online tools for easy integration. Further details of the Bosch Integration Partner Program are available at ipp.boschsecurity.com.

A step ahead of the gameSiqura knows video surveillance and it knows what you need for a successful system. That's why the Siqura 6x series cameras incorporate everything you need to be ready for the future. This new camera line offers all the latest technologies to ensure a long-lasting and state-of-the-art system anytime, anywhere.Fruitful foresightsThe traditional box-shaped BC6x cameras and the vandal-proof fixed-dome FD6x cameras provide HD and Full HD resolution images in both H.264 or MPEG-4 and MJPEG. With the option to configure multiple combinations of resolution and frame rate, it is possible to satisfy a variety of different live-viewing and recording scenarios, making them ideal for large professional installations where high resolutions and quality images are needed.The Siqura 6x cameras also offer an IR cut filter and backlight compensation as standard features. The BC6x series includes wide dynamic range (WDR) functionality to ensure quality images in difficult lighting conditions. Since surveillance solutions need to be flexible when it comes to installation, these new cameras offer AC, DC, or Power over Ethernet (PoE) powering options. Through an intuitive and straightforward Web interface, users can configure privacy masks ensure the security and integrity of the surveillance system.HD, Full HDHigh-definition (HD) image resolutions are without a doubt a solid step up from their standard-definition (SD) and analogue predecessors. A 16x9 aspect ratio significantly widens the scope of a camera's field of view, ultimately reducing the number of cameras needed for a given application. Both HD (720p) and Full HD (1080p) considerably intensify the number of available pixels, providing camera images with more detail than ever before. This makes CCTV systems capable of ascertaining and identifying information caught on video that would otherwise be too vague or pixelated to interpret accurately. The Siqura 6x camera series use progressive scanning. This not only simplifies the transmission of video by doing away with the need for de-interlacing but it also improves video quality by sending complete frames rather than segmented parts.Extensive integrationONVIF is a non-profit organisation dedicated to the development of industry-wide standards for IP-based physical security devices. Since the Siqura 6x series cameras comply with ONVIF specifications, they are already integrated into major video management systems (VMS), such as PVis (Schille Informationssysteme GmbH), XProtect (Milestone), Omnicast (Genetec), SkyPoint (Lenel), and many others. This makes it easy to incorporate a Siqura 6x camera into any network.Conserving bandwidth through improving qualityH.264 is the newest video compression standard, succeeding the well-known MPEG-4 and MPEG-2. It currently offers the best image quality available while at the same time reducing bandwidth requirements. The Siqura 6x series cameras proficiently balance the intensified processing power requirements inherent in H.264 compression with network limitations. As a result, the Siqura 6x cameras are able to efficiently offer H.264 streams at HD and Full HD systems while using relatively little bandwidth.CCD/CMOSThe Siqura 6x cameras offer either a CCD or CMOS image sensor, both of which effectively take light signals and turn them into electrical signals for encoding and transmission. The CCD sensor performs exceptionally well in dim conditions while the CMOS image sensor is capable of offering Full HD (1080p).HybridWith either an optional analogue or IP output connector, the Siqura 6x cameras can adapt as your system expands and develops. Quality and reliabilityThe Siqura 6x cameras are part of the Siqura product line, an extensive collection of video surveillance equipment offering complete solutions and reputed for quality and reliability.The Siqura 6x series will be commercially released in September 2010.

Featuring 1080p resolution and the standalone high-power illuminator, it is perfect for monitoring multi-lane traffic under all lighting conditions. Multi-lane traffic monitoring made possible by megapixel IP solution The NCH517 allows monitoring multiple traffic lanes simultaneously, thanks to the Full HD x2.5 coverage range compared to D1 resolution, providing a wider view and superior image quality as every detail comes through in razor-sharp megapixel clarity. Extended view range also indicates fewer cameras needed to cover the same number of monitored lanes and less project cost as a result. Leveraging the versatility of IP technology, the NCH517 provides simple, flexible setup and control that can be done from remote locations via the existing IP network. A variety of video detections and event management capabilities serve as a complementary tool to enhance the monitoring experience. Superb low light performance boosts night vision IP LPR Cameras have been around the market but failed to deliver the performance as expected due to their deficiency in low light environments. Coming from a perspective of a low light specialist, MESSOA stresses the importance of lighting and offers a solution package that solves such issue. Unlike conventional models which lack an adequate lighting apparatus, the NCH517 comes with the SLI080 IR Illuminator to provide sufficient IR lighting needed to attain qualified plate images for all types of license plates. Backed by 850nm, high power IR LED array, the illuminator extends the recognition range up to 100 meters (328ft), making the characters more visible to the camera at night for extra long distance and/or high-speed monitoring. To match the camera’s field of view for multiple lane applications, the proprietary LumiiFlex™ adjustable diffuser design of the illuminator provides the flexibility to tune the angle of illumination on site to suit specific security needs. This technology ensures even output illumination across the entire scene without overexposure or flare. Intelligent Traffic Mode ensures optimized plate recognition results Various installation and environmental factors must be taken into consideration when setting an LPR camera to maximise license plate recognition accuracy, but a proper configuration takes a great deal of effort, and the outcome is not always guaranteed. MESSOA NCH517 is built in with 4 preset modes with optimized parameter settings in accordance with different car speeds and camera angles to help inexperienced users easily achieve the best capture results every time in these preprogrammed scenarios, e.g. city surveillance, highway, entry point/toll station, and parking lot. Customisable Profile Configuration is another Intelligent Traffic feature that provides users with freedom to configure and apply optimised parameter settings for different time frames up to 4 customisable profiles to meet the variation in environmental factors during a day.

Dedicated Micros Camvu Mini-Dome camera range spotlighted at IFSEC 2010
Dedicated Micros Camvu Mini-Dome camera range spotlighted at IFSEC 2010

Dedicated Micros - part of AD Group - has significantly strengthened its IP dome camera portfolio with the launch at IFSEC 2010 of its CamVu Mini-Dome range. The two key models, now available in the range, are the CamVu HyperDome and the CamVu Day/Night Mini-Dome which are suitable for deployment both indoors and outdoors.Looking at the CamVu HyperDome, its Wide Dynamic Range (WDR) sensor means that this Mini-Dome is perfectly suited to difficult lighting conditions, such as those found in reception/entrance areas, correctly exposing shadows and highlights and allowing detail to be seen even when backlit. Turning to the CamVu Day/Night Mini-Dome, this model combines sensitivity to IR (Infra Red) light at night with the ability to deliver true colour rendition during day light hours.Both of the CamVu Mini-Domes have been designed from the start to be vandal resistant which means that they are perfectly suited to installations where there is a requirement to withstand deliberate or accidental damage. Built from an impact resistant die cast aluminium body, with a tough polycarbonate bubble (rated to IP66), the CamVu Mini-Domes are also well equipped to cope with the challenges of harsh environmental conditions such as dust and water spray.The CamVu Mini-Dome models are compatible with a wide range of Dedicated Micros (and AD Group) DVRs and Video Servers including: the DV-IP Server, DV-IP HD, DV-IP RT, HighVu Excel, DS2, BX2, SD Advanced and the latest generation of TransVu.One of the most revolutionary features of the new CamVu Mini-Domes is the fact that they are some of the first Dedicated Micros' products to feature an Integrated Camera Recording (ICR) capability. Essentially the ICR concept, which Dedicated Micros is pioneering, combines local recording - through an integrated Micro SD expansion port - with a full enterprise video server all within the camera. This unlocks the option to record camera footage at the unit as well as any associated DVR or Video Server. The attraction of this approach is that, once installed, the CamVu Mini-Domes can offer fail safe decentralised recording and video management, so reducing 24/7 dependency on high bandwidth network infrastructure and the associated maintenance costs.The CamVu Mini-Domes also benefit from the adoption of a, specifically tailored, Video Signal Processor (ViSP) from Dedicated Micros' sister company ChipWrights. The power of the ViSP, selected for the Mini-Domes, means that it is possible to transmit multiple simultaneous MPEG-4 and/or JPEG images to any number of associated NetVu Connected devices for viewing and recording. A key advantage is that each stream can be tailored to suit the viewer's available bandwidth.Additionally, both of the CamVu Mini-Domes are Analytics Capable, which means, in practice, that there is the potential for them to host the latest Dedicated Micros' analytics solutions, whether that be Object Left/Removed or Detection Tripwire.Said Pauline Norstrom, Director of Worldwide Marketing at Dedicated Micros: "The CamVu HyperDome and the CamVu Day/Night Mini-Dome are high specification solutions which readily integrate a number of market leading features, such as Integrated Camera Recording (ICR), to unlock key operational benefits on the sites where they are likely to be deployed."
