JVC Professional has launched a new 1080p Super LoLux HD network PTZ dome camera: the VN-H557U. Delivering excellent quality high resolution images, with wide area coverage, the camera is ideal for use in applications such as shopping centres, airports and petrol stations.

The camera features 10x optical zoom and 350° pan/tilt operation, while its Super LoLux HD technology delivers brilliant high-definition resolution and remarkable light sensitivity to produce colour images at just 0.45 lux. The camera features powerful dual stream operation (30ips / 30ips JPEG / H.264 High Profile), along with SD card recording with alarm record function and direct MPEG 4 export. It also has 3D dynamic noise reduction and supports the latest ONVIF protocol for network cameras (Profile S).

The cost-effective camera has excellent all-round performance. Audio and alarm support is built in and the camera allows multi-angle installation. There’s latency of just 50ms when using a USB joystick to control pan and tilt, and with an MTBF of 30,000 hours, it will give many years of service.
