Vivotek says the Supreme series cameras “are characterized by their extreme video clarity, which ensures accurate color reproduction and fulfills requirements for the most critical application environments”.
There are 2, 3 and 5 megapixel versions of the cameras, which can record 60 fps at 720p HD and30fps at 1080p Full HD.
The Supreme series models come with a feature called ‘Supreme Night Visibility’, as well as Wide Dynamic Range functionality and ‘P-iris’ lens technology which “offers optimal video in all lighting conditions with better contrast, clarity, and depth of field”.
The new Smart Focus System consists of a Focus Assist button and Remote Focus. To make installation and adjustment easier, Vivotek cameras with the Smart Focus feature use lenses with a built-in stepper motor that the installer can use to remotely control the focal length and focus.
The outdoor models feature ‘Extreme Weatherproofing’, including Wide Temperature Range and IP66/67 outdoor rating.
Currently available Supreme series cameras include IP8151/51P, IP8162/62P, and IP8362. Additional Supreme series cameras including fixed domes, speed domes, and fisheye domes will be released throughout 2011.
Fisheye on the prize
Speaking of fisheye domes, the FE8171V is the first fisheye fixed dome network camera from Vivotek, featuring 3 megapixel resolution.
Equipped with a fisheye lens for 180 degree panoramic view (wall mount) or 360 degree surround view (ceiling/floor/table mount) without blind spots, this camera is able to provide an 8X wider field of view than a standard VGA camera, significantly reducing the need for multiple camera installations, Vivotek claims.
It is suitable for monitoring open areas such as airports, shopping malls, parking lots, retail stores, offices, and much more.
The FE8171V offers a variety of display layouts, including original surround view, panoramic views, and regional views for various mounting applications. Hemispherical images captured from the fisheye camera can be converted into conventional rectilinear projection for viewing and analysis.
And in the panoramic and regional viewing modes, users can utilize the ultra-smooth ePTZ function to easily zoom in and focus on a region of interest (ROI).
The FE8171V features a removable IR-cut filter, and its IP67-rated housing is designed to help the camera body withstand rain and dust and ensures operation under harsh weather conditions. It also features vandal-proof IK10-rated housing.
Other features include 802.3af compliant PoE, microSD/SDHC card slot for on-board storage, EN50155 mobile surveillance, and iPad applications.
