The HCD5MIHX box camera, the HD3MDIHX fixed mini dome for indoor use and the HD4MDIHX, a vandal resistant fixed mini dome, have been made with compression technology to provide high picture quality at minimal bandwidth, the company said.
According to a spokesman: “Network and storage limitations have long been a barrier to the adoption of high definition (HD) cameras.
“Each new model provides 720p image quality at lower bandwidth by using H.264 compression to reduce the size of the digital video file by more than 50 per cent compared with the standard M-JPEG format.
“In addition, unlike some other solutions on the market, the cameras provide 720p resolution at full frame rate in low light and very little ‘noise’ ensuring detail is optimised in images captured under these conditions without compromising on storage.”
The cameras should also ‘significantly reduce’ the cost of conversion to HD IP video by offering H.264 compression at a very competitive price compared to MPEG-4 cameras.
Jeremy Kimber, who works in commercial operational marketing, said: “With their high performance and low noise, these latest cameras are the ideal solution for customers who are seeking to optimise bandwidth and storage without compromising on picture quality.”
The models have been designed to conform to the PSIA specification supporting interoperability between network video products regardless of manufacturer. PSIA compliant devices are able to exchange live video, audio, metadata and control information and are automatically discovered and connected to network applications such as video management systems.
