Johnson Controls has added to its successful Illustra Pro camera family with the Illustra Pro Gen3 Bullet, featuring a new Smart Wide Dynamic Range that optimises video quality while minimising configuration time.

Available with a standard or telephoto lens and in megapixel resolutions of 3MP and 4K, the Pro Gen3 Bullet provides customers with a selection of video images to match their operational requirements and is ideal for a wide variety of deployments in both medium and large-sized facilities.

Improves video quality, reduces configuration settings

Pro Gen3 Bullet also automatically adjusts settings to the desired mount for additional labour savings

Smart Wide Dynamic Range available in the Pro Gen3 Bullet reduces configuration time while greatly improving the quality of the video stream in varying lighting environments. By effectively reading the scene, the Bullet can adjust contrasting and overall scene balance without operator intervention.

Setup times are also reduced with the addition of configuration profiles, such as retail, gaming, and indoor/outdoor scenes, where camera settings are automatically adjusted based on the environment, with a simple click of a button. The Pro Gen3 Bullet also automatically adjusts settings to the desired mount for the ceiling or wall for additional labour savings.

Automatic picture tuning capability

The smart technology embedded in our latest generation of Illustra Pro cameras automates picture tuning and ensures that what you see is always dynamically optimised even in changing scenes and lighting conditions," said Ric Wilton, director of product management for Illustra.

"We are aiming to reduce operator setup and management costs while always delivering a perfectly configured picture. Adding intelligent, automated capabilities to our solutions is core to our product design and the Illustra portfolio.”

Features of the Bullet

Video Intelligence Analytics, provides real-time, user-customisable event alarms for quick reactions to incidents

Building off the previous generation of cameras, the Bullet improves on important features such as Wide Dynamic Range, Illustra® IntelliZip bandwidth management, effective failover redundancy, cybersecurity, and Video Intelligence Analytics.

Users can offload analytic streaming from network video recorders to the edge on Illustra cameras, saving time and resources. This feature, Video Intelligence Analytics, provides real-time, user-customisable event alarms that allow for quick reactions to incidents. By gathering transformative data instantly, users can better allocate human resources elsewhere.

Cybesecure cameras

As part of the Tyco Cyber Protection Product Security Program, the new generation of Illustra Pro cameras will also have enhanced safeguards against cyber attacks. With cyber-threat resilience in mind, the solution includes a “secure boot” which prompts the installer to change passwords upon installation.

Additional safeguard controls include an enhanced security mode, which forces the use of complex, non-default passwords and encrypted communications. The Pro Gen3 Bullet is now available for order in both 3MP and 8MP form factors, with additional options coming soon.
