Pelco by Schneider Electric’s Optera™ series of panoramic cameras

The Optera™ Series ‘panomersive’ cameras with panoramic, immersive viewing and SureVision™ 2.0 Wide Dynamic Range (WDR) are available in 12MP, 180°, 270° and 360°. The Optera™ Series cameras seamlessly blend high-quality images from four, 3MP cameras, mounted in the same housing. An ultra-high definition, panomersive video stream is produced of an entire scene, whilst detailed, immersive video streams of multiple areas of interest within the scene are produced simultaneously. Each video stream is processed separately by Pelco’s VideoXpert™ VMS and other compatible, integrated VMS solutions. “Many multi-image CCTV solutions produce disjointed video streams which can be out of sequence,” explained Kevin Saldanha, senior product manager for Pelco by Schneider Electric. “The Optera™ Series cameras provide the user with impressive panoramic views, transparently blending streams from all camera sensors to create a single, panomersive video stream. The operator can also zoom in and view multiple areas of the stream in more detail.” “The panomersive video stream is up to 12 megapixels at 12.5 frames per second in full resolution. SureVision 2.0 WDR, anti-bloom technology, 3D noise filtering and advanced tone mapping all help to deliver exceptional image quality in low-light, high-contrast scenes, day and night. Privacy settings and zones are also built-in.” The Optera™ Series cameras integrate with Pelco VideoXpert™ VMS and Pelco Digital Sentry systems. Integration with major third party VMS solutions is enabled using the Pelco API, Panomersive SDK and ONVIF standard, using client-side dewarping. Pelco video analytics is applied across the Optera™ Series’ wide field of view and includes abandoned object, adaptive motion detection, camera sabotage, directional motion, loitering detection, object counting, removed object and stopped vehicle. The cameras are available as ceiling, surface or pendant mount and delivered ready to install. The cameras are metal-cased, tamper-resistant with an IK10 vandal-resistant rating.

IDIS micro dome ideal for high end settings

The new DC-C4212RX 2MP micro dome camera is the latest addition to the DirectIP® line up from IDIS, which is South Korea’s largest in-country manufacturer of surveillance technology. The compact design of the DC-C4212RX makes it the best choice for understated, less noticeable installation.  The neat aesthetics are ideal for applications where there is a need for unobtrusive surveillance but where comprehensive, high-performance video capture is paramount. Measuring only 86 mm x 58 mm and weighing just 105 grams, the DC-C4212RX delivers advanced benefits within its lower profile and is the right choice for high-end locations such as jewellery shops and boutiques, as well as up-market restaurants and luxury hotels. The DC-C4212RX offers all the key benefits that installers expect from IDIS DirectIP dome cameras, including the company’s signature plug-and-play installation and configuration. The elimination of a pigtail cable allows faster and easier deployment. The 3-axis mechanical lens enables rotation and easy angle adjustment, making it an important design feature for precise image capture, particularly when the camera needs to be discretely wall-mounted.  The camera can also operate in a wide range of lighting conditions, delivering high performance live monitoring and playback.   Other key features include true wide dynamic range (WDR); IR LED illumination up to 15m with day and night ICR; dual codec H.264/H.265 performance; and easy, plug-and-play integration with IDIS VA in the Box. This cost-effective video analytics appliance delivers value-add business intelligence gained from heat mapping, people counting, queue management and comprehensive reporting. “Our new micro dome is a great camera for installers to work with and it delivers outstanding surveillance capability for customers,” says James Min, Managing Director of IDIS Europe. “It further strengthens our end-to-end offering for retail applications, including high street fashion, boutiques, dining, pubs and coffee shops - markets in which we have gained significant market share globally.”
