by Shane Henson — December 2, 2011—Facilities managers and business owners in the market for cameras to strengthen their building’s security may find that IndigoVision, a manufacturer of end-to-end IP (Internet Protocol) video security solutions, is able to meet their needs.
IndigoVision recently announced that it has broadened its camera range with the launch of 1080p, 2 megapixel ONVIF-conformant HD cameras, in four variants. These are IndigoVision’s first ONVIF-conformant cameras and reflect the company’s commitment to the ONVIF standard, the de facto standard for IP-based surveillance products.
The camera range offered by IndigoVision allows the most appropriate size and design to be chosen for the client. These include an internal Minidome, a vandal-resistant Minidome, and two Microdomes, internal or external, for smaller spaces where a more discreet camera is needed.
According to the company, the IndigoVision HD Minidome family is perfect for a multicast environment, allowing an unlimited number of users to view live video on the network with reduced network bandwith. Dual H.264 encoding allows users the flexibility of simultaneously streaming at different resolutions and frame rate, especially useful when streaming remotely as well as locally. WDR (Wide Dynamic Range) is also available for greater clarity in areas of contrasting light levels.
The Internal and Vandal Resistant Minidomes offer remote zoom and focus as an option, to simplify installation and reduce the ongoing cost of ownership. Low-light performance auto IR filtering is provided as standard and audio capabilities are included. The Microdomes are designed for discreet monitoring in small spaces with a built-in microphone on the internal Microdome.
The cameras form part of IndigoVision’s end-to-end IP video security solution, and are fully integrated with IndigoVision’s SMS4 management software and network video recorders. According to the company, the ONVIF Minidome family provides an open standards solution at a competitive price, while retaining the resilience of IndigoVision’s unique distributed serverless architecture, with no bottlenecks and no single-point-of-failure.
