by Shane Henson — April 18, 2012—IndigoVision, a manufacturer of IP (Internet protocol) video security solutions, has launched its 11000 series of fixed-dome cameras, security products it says are ideal for places within buildings where the clarity of images captured is vital, such as casinos.
According to IndigoVision, the 11000 Fixed Dome provides great image quality under any lighting condition and boasts full duplex, synchronized audio. The camera is offered in three versions—Internal, Vandal Resistant and Environmental Vandal Resistant (capable of operating at extreme temperatures), each available with standard or telephoto lenses.
Each 11000 HD (high-definition) camera provides unrivalled dual pixel wide dynamic range (WDR) performance. WDR is useful in all lighting conditions and is particularly effective where activity takes place against strong back light, notes IndigoVision. In addition, H.264 compression technology provides outstanding video quality with astonishingly low bandwidths. This allows the cameras to be used in locations where high bandwidth communication is not available and reduces the storage capacity needed for recording video. Dual video and audio encoding offers still more flexibility to configure the solution to suit the network, explains IndigoVision.
IndigoVision also offers a Full Frame Rate guarantee on all the 11000 cameras, assuring customers that it will never drop a frame. This gives customers confidence that no evidence or coverage of an incident will be missed. All cameras in the range work clearly day and night, with an automatic mechanical infrared filter.
The 11000 HD cameras have been designed to work seamlessly with SMS4, the company’s complete suite of management software. SMS4’s open and integrated design allows the widest possible choice of hardware. According to the company, SMS4’s unique distributed architecture has no single point of failure and allows any component to be located at any point on the network. Deployment of an IndigoVision IP based video system is also made easy by built-in Power-over-Ethernet support on all fixed cameras, allowing them to be powered directly from the network.
