Vicon Industries Inc., a leading designer and producer of network video management systems, has introduced a new line of Hemispheric Cameras that provide high-resolution, continuous 180o or 360o coverage. An integral fisheye lens and 4 megapixel sensor captures a complete 360o view, which is delivered as two 180o panoramic images visually stacked on top of each other within a single video stream. All de-morphing is performed within the cameras prior to transmission, so a distortion-free image is delivered to the VMS ready for live display and recording. The cameras transmit a choice of H.264, MPEG-4 SP and M-JPEG compressions with dual streaming.
The V9360 models are true day/night cameras that perform extremely well in a wide range of lighting conditions, thanks to advanced WDR and a mechanical IR cut filter. A MicroSD/MicroSDHC card slot allows for local storage. Power-over-Ethernet eliminates the need for power cables.
