by Shane Henson — February 24, 2012—IQinVision, a maker of high-performance HD (high-definition) megapixel IP (Internet protocol) cameras, recently announced its IQeye 7 Series H.264 indoor camera, the latest series in its line of easy-to-use, affordable, multi-feature cameras.
The IQeye 7 Series is a full-featured, multi-megapixel H.264 main profile indoor camera. With support for up to five-megapixel (MP) resolution, this next-generation camera provides multiple, individually-configured H.264 and simultaneous Motion JPEG (MJPEG) streams. Designed with the installer in mind, analog video out along with remote back focus makes for fast, easy installation.
The one-touch-focus feature allows fine focus adjustment from a remote computer, eliminating the need for manual focus adjustments at the camera and resulting in trouble-free, crystal clear images. According to IQinVision, the camera is also compliant with ONVIF (Open Network Video Interface Forum) and PSIA (Physical Security Interoperability Alliance ) specifications that ensure interoperability between products regardless of the manufacturer.
The 7 Series camera supports power-over-ethernet or can be powered directly by AC or DC power. Featuring a moveable IR (infrared) filter for day and night functionality, the new cameras provide image controls for optimization of video for any lighting condition. Two-way audio allows for interactive communication between the camera and monitoring site.
The external on-camera SDHC (Secure Digital High-Capacity) memory expansion port, in combination with IQrecorder or Direct-To-Storage recording, makes the 7 Series a flexible, stand-alone recording platform ideal for motion-based recording or remote monitoring.
“The 7 Series represents a new ‘higher bar’ with regard to megapixel IP cameras,” said Ed Suski, IQinVision vice president and chief technology officer. “Along with a new exciting form factor, options like power-over-ethernet or direct power, day/night capability, two-way audio, on-camera storage combined with direct-to-storage, H.264 main profile, analog out, and remote back focus, make the 7 Series one of the most feature rich solutions for the price on the market today. And all that functionality is backed by IQinVision’s industry-leading reliability, customer support, and unmatched ease of installation.”
