by Ann Withanee — December 30, 2011—IQinVision, a market leader in high-performance high-definition (HD) megapixel Internet protocol (IP) surveillance cameras, introduces the IQeye 3 Series H.264 video camera for the mid-January 2012 market. The new series features H.264 Main Profile compression and is available in SD480p, HD720p, and HD1080p models.
Based on the popular, time-tested Alliance mini dome, these compact cameras support streaming audio, Lightgrabber II low-light capabilities, impressively low power consumption, and up to 60 fps @ SD480p and HD720p.
The 3 Series camera offers exceptional image quality in a small, versatile form factor, notes IQinVision. At only 49.4 mm in height, the camera is designed for discreet indoor use and for retail, education, and commercial/industrial environments. The 3 Series camera line is compliant with standards from both the Physical Security Interoperability Alliance (PSIA) and the Open Network Video Interface Forum (ONVIF)—leading standards bodies in the industry—providing the flexibility to ensure compatibility with all of the most popular video management system (VMS) platforms.
IQinVision’s H.264 cameras use only Main Profile compression, which reportedly offers the most efficient video compression available while maintaining a smooth, high-quality image and low network bandwidth utilization, resulting in lower storage costs.
