Surveillance in large outdoor sites brings with it specific challenges: the end user requires cameras that can cover a wide area and must factor for wind and other environmental aspects that will potentially affect both the hardware and image quality.
With this in mind, IndigoVision has enhanced its 9000 PTZ camera range to provide the reliable video surveillance that’s needed in such conditions.
Offering “high quality, low bandwidth, standard definition video even in ultra-low lighting conditions”, the 9000 PTZ has been designed to withstand the elements. Operators can monitor large areas and pan and zoom on incidents as they occur with “exceptionally low latency” ensuring smooth camera control.
Pendant-mounted cameras are inevitably affected by high winds, particularly when ‘zoomed in’ on a scene. On that basis, the new 9000 PTZs include automatic image stabilisation and StableZoom technology to minimise the effects of movement and ensure effective monitoring and recording of events.
Optical zoom variants for end users
Two new optical zoom variants are offered:
All of the 9000 Series PTZ domes work seamlessly with SMS4 IndigoVision’s Security Management Solution, and are offered as an in-ceiling camera or pendant camera (Standard, Environmental and Arctic) with a range of mounting options to suit any position.
IndigoVision guarantees full frame rate video on the cameras, in turn affording users confidence that no evidence or incident coverage will be missed.
Dual encoding allows simultaneous transmission of both high and low bandwidth streams while low latency ensures smooth control and fast response for operators.
Alex Swanson, IndigoVision’s head of engineering, commented: “The new and expanded range of PTZ domes will be ideal for many of our clients’ needs. The cameras provide us with a reliable solution and a range of options to suit any lighting condition or environment.”
