Honeywell has released its Performance Series, the latest addition to the company's extensive portfolio of security cameras. The Performance Series includes new lines of indoor and indoor/outdoor mini-domes as well as bullet cameras, many with infrared (IR) illumination. The line is ideal for organisations looking for cost-effective surveillance for their security systems."Our customers, whether installers or end-users, represent a wide array of commercial environments, ranging from retail to banking to education, all of which have unique requirements for security systems," said Vineet Nargolwala, EMEA Managing Director, Honeywell Systems Group."The Performance Series adds to Honeywell's portfolio of IR and mini-dome cameras by offering our customers a simple yet solid design that's easy to install and operate. We're extremely excited about the Performance Series cameras and feel confident that we've positioned this line to appeal to customers who seek both performance and competitive pricing. Our portfolio now gives customers the option to choose from cameras with basic functionality, those with more advanced features, and those with extended IP-based network functionality."Most models in the Performance Series feature IR LEDs that activate when the ambient light drops below a user-defined threshold, enabling around-the-clock surveillance in extreme low-light applications. Crisp colour images are captured by day and clear black and white images at night. The series also includes models with vari-focal lenses that allow the cameras to adjust to a variety of distances."Some situations require high-end surveillance cameras with multiple functions, but many of our customers simply need a high-quality camera that reliably captures images. The Performance Series allows organisations to have the best of both worlds," continues Nargolwala.

Honeywell adds hi-def indoor/outdoor mini-dome to IP camera portfolio

Honeywell has released a rugged, indoor/outdoor mini-dome IP camera that provides three times the image resolution of standard analogue cameras, yet with similar network bandwidth requirements. The HD4MDIPX is the latest addition to Honeywell's line of high-definition, IP cameras that provide high-quality images The true day/night, vandal-resistant, fixed mini-dome provides 720p resolution at full frame rate. It also helps save money with its low power-consumption rate and ability to be retrofitted on many existing digital and network video recorder installations without requiring additional storage capabilities. This dramatically decreases the cost of infrastructure and total cost of ownership. "When it comes to video surveillance, the top two things on end users' minds today are picture quality and cost," said Roberto Testani, Product Manager, Honeywell Security Group. "HD4MDIPX is another example of how Honeywell continues to deliver on the promise of IP by addressing both of those concerns. It provides extremely crisp images at minimal bandwidth, reducing the number of hardware servers needed to manage the system." Like the indoor-version HD3MDIPX, which Honeywell released earlier this year, the HD4MDIPX features an externally accessible web-based menu that lets operators view and control cameras from virtually anywhere. It also features built-in motion detection capabilities and camera tamper detection features that notify users when the camera's field-of-view is altered, obstructed or blurred. The HD4MDIPX also decreases installation and training costs through its simplified set up, which includes the same programming requirements as interior cameras. Because of this, operators can cover a wider range of applications without having to learn new products. In addition to the HD4MDIPX and HD3MDIPX cameras, Honeywell's growing line of IP video technology includes a complete selection of recording solutions and the MAXPRO® VMS video management platform. The company will soon expand its camera line to include a bullet camera and box camera options. To see how Honeywell's growing line of IP video solutions can help organisations transition from analogue-based video to digital systems, please visit http://www.honeywellipsolutions.com/.

New 600 TVL Day/Night Bullet Cameras with IR Illumination from Honeywell
New 600 TVL Day/Night Bullet Cameras with IR Illumination from Honeywell

Introducing the new HBD92SX and HBD95SX Day/Night bullet cameras with IR illumination from Honeywell - designed to provide high quality video 24/7 in both indoor and outdoor surveillance applications. Both HBD92SX and HBD95SX include a high resolution 600 TVL 1/3" Sony Super HAD™ CCD imager, Digital Noise Reduction (DNR), Digital Slow Shutter (DSS) and external controls for lens zoom, focus and camera set-up. HBD92SX features a 2.8-12 mm F1.4 IR corrected Vari-focal lens with 56 IR LEDs for illuminating a scene up to 30m (depending on scene reflectance). HBD95SX features a 5-50 mm F1.4 IR corrected Vari-focal lens with 42 IR LEDs for illuminating a scene up to 45m (depending on scene reflectance) Benefits Installation adjustments for the cameras can be accomplished without opening the camera housings. Screw gears let the installer adjust the lens field of view and focus. The porthole at the bottom provides access to the On Screen Display (OSD) menu as well as the IR power adjustment. 600 TVL resolution for sharper image detail combined with DNR and DSS offer outstanding performance in low light. Degradation of image quality under low light conditions has been reduced as a result of the DNR technology incorporated into the cameras. This results in better video performance, lower noise in the pictures and as a result, increased storage capacity on DVRs. The F1.4 IR corrected aspherical Vari-focal lenses offer a wide range of field of view settings. Sharp optical detail and excellent light gathering offer excellent optical performance. Twelve privacy zones can be programmed per camera enabling the end user to ensure any civil liberties are protected within the scene that is being monitored. IR LEDs provide illumination of up to 45m (HBD95SX) depending on scene reflectivity. The combination of the IR LEDs, the IR cut filter moving out of the optical path, and the F1.4 rating of the lens, as well as the amount of reflection of the IR light from the object of interest, will impact the distance at which the camera can provide a useable image of an object.
