Security system designers and installers can, therefore, easily select the best and most cost effective camera for every application without having to choose between dozens of models from several different ranges, Siemens says.
Maintenance and servicing are also simplified, as only a small number of spare cameras are needed to deal with all eventualities, according to the company.
Installers and end users can also enjoy the full benefits of Security Products from Siemens’ support and after-sales service.
Range of features
The new Siemens IP camera range includes box, fixed dome, high-speed dome and vandal-resistant models, with the box and fixed dome range being available in VGA, 1.3 MP and 2.0 MP (full HD) versions.
The vandal-resistant model is a full HD camera with an IP66 protection rating. This model also includes integrated IR illuminators.
The cameras in the range feature day/night operation. The 1.3MP box and 1.3MP fixed dome models feature wide dynamic range operation.
All cameras offer integrated motion detection, and all incorporate triple encoding functionality as standard, which allows them to generate H.264, MPEG-4 and MJPEG video streams simultaneously.
ONVIF support
The new cameras also support the increasingly popular ONVIF network protocol, making them easy to integrate with third-party equipment in IP installations.
Box cameras in the range feature a standard C/CS lens mount, allowing users to select the most appropriate lens for their application, while the fixed dome and vandal-resistant cameras are supplied with integrated varifocal lenses.
The high-speed dome camera, which has a maximum pan speed of 400deg/s, is available with a choice of 18x, 28x and 36x zoom lenses.
To complement its new cameras, Security Products from Siemens provides a wide choice of mounting accessories.
