Intelligent cameras: the new eneo VKC(D)-1375 with extensive analysis functions

Cameras are becoming more and more intelligent. In addition to a progressive increase in resolution, numerous analysis functions are becoming available to make surveillance far more reliable and also ensure the security personnel's work is much easier. The VKC-1375 Box Camera and VKCD-1375 Fixed Dome from eneo are current examples of this. Reliable sabotage detection combined with a camera cover, defocusing, spray-painting detection and change of viewing direction are highlights. Motion detection has been implemented with different functionalities and configuration options: classic motion detection is applied to the entire scene with automatic upsizing and tracking of the detected movement by PTZ.

Now though, the Mine Area function is used to preselect relevant areas, such as a wire, barrier or an area where unauthorised entry is prohibited. But the eneo technology goes even further: their range of functions include face image recognition and alerting when an object is moved out of a predefined area, plus cross object counting and entrance counting. With Cross Object Counting, two vertical lines defined in the picture are used for counting objects that move past, such as vehicles driving past a building. With Entrance Counting, the camera counts the number of people who enter or leave an entrance area, such as in a supermarket. The number counted is displayed directly in the camera image for both functions. Furthermore, an alarm output contract is available for triggering further activities for all the above video analysis functions.

EHLC functionality and 3D DNR noise suppression 

All of these analysis functions are clearly only useful when the image quality is outstanding: the VKC-1375 and VKCD-1375 have a horizontal resolution of 650 TV lines and - in addition to advanced WDR, pixel compensation and real day/night functionality - they feature the new EHLC functionality (Excessive High Light Compensation). This function shades very bright areas in the video image, such as car headlights directed at the camera. Also, very dark image areas are brightened, so that the number plate is clearly recognisable despite the darkening effect in this example. Effective noise reduction is achieved through either the 2D function or the very effective 3D-DNR. The very high resolution is due to the use of a new Sony Chip Set with a very high number of active pixels.
