IndigoVision extends True IP camera range

At IFSEC 2008, IndigoVision showcased a range of new vandal resistant fixed IP domes. These are the latest additions to the company's True IP camera family and are designed to work with their integrated end-to-end IP video solution.

IndigoVision's new internal and external vandal resistant fixed IP domes are high-end professional CCTV cameras that incorporate a Sony EXview HAD CCD Sensor and the company's class-leading MPEG-4 or H.264 compression, ensuring excellent performance. Coupled with a guaranteed frame rate of 25/30 fps, the IP domes provide an image quality that is as good as or better than an equivalent analogue camera.

The discreet, IP66 vandal resistant enclosure can be ceiling or wall mounted and provides maximum protection for tough environmental conditions. The built-in support for Power-over-Ethernet allows the camera to be powered directly from the network for lower installation costs. Each camera is available with a number of options including PAL or NTSC formats, a standard or telephoto lens and a colour or day/night sensor.

Dedicated IP cameras offer significant benefits for CCTV installations, providing direct connection to the network, reduced installation costs and creating high-quality video through digital-only links between the camera sensor and network. However, the real benefits come from using True IP cameras, which form part of an integrated end-to-end IP Video solution.

IndigoVision has now established itself as a manufacturer of True IP cameras, which complement its complete IP-CCTV solution. The IP camera range now consists of fixed, dome and PTZ models, for both internal and external applications. However, it is the powerful built-in features such as storage-saving Activity Controlled Framerate (ACF) and real-time analytics that differentiates them from the competition and makes them True IP cameras. These features and the ability to deliver high-quality 4CIF digital video at a guaranteed 25/30 fps are possible because IndigoVision's system is a complete end-to-end solution from camera through to ‘Control Center', its powerful IP Video and alarm management software.

IndigoVision also unveiled a number of other new products and enhancements at IFSEC 2008, including a 4-channel transmitter/receiver rack designed for mobile surveillance applications and a major upgrade to its NVR capability.
