Samsung have unveiled a new affordable HD video surveillance solution for small retail and office environments.
The SNB-5001 1.3 megapixel network camera is ONVIF compliant and supports H.264 and MJPEG compression methods which gives the option to transmit images to multiple locations and varying frame rates.
Different users can view the images on a smartphone using the iPOLiS app.
Tim Biddulph, IP product manager for Samsung Techwin Europe Ltd said: “Worldwide there are thousands of video surveillance systems being installed each week where the superb quality images which can be captured by HD cameras, could help users take their security to a much higher level.
“Until now, the relatively high price of HD cameras has prohibited their use for the vast majority of these installations. We have produced the SNB-5001 specifically to overcome this problem in that it incorporates most of the important features associated with HD technology, but at an affordable price level.”
The camera also features:
- Four programmable motion detection zones;
- 12 programmable privacy zones;
- Power over Ethernet (PoE);
- Day/night feature automatically configures the camera to capture either colour or B/W images;
- Compatible with Samsung’s NET-i-Viewer software.
“Although ideal for applications where a large number of HD cameras are required, the price point of the SNB-5001 means that it can also provide a cost effective option as a replacement for existing analogue cameras at locations such as office receptions, or at the front of retail stores, where there is a requirement to capture evidence grade images of any activity,” said Tim Biddulph.
