Honeywell has expanded its range of HDZ Series PTZ cameras. The makers say that the series is designed to handle installations for continuous detailed surveillance at longer distances.
Now available is an IP 22x optical zoom 1080p version besides an analogue version. The expanded HDZ Series is the multi-national says suited for surveillance of cities, roads, airports, ports, government facilities, casinos, education campuses, stadia, critical infrastructure and industry.
The expanded range with up to 1080p resolution, 360-degree continuous rotation function and optical zoom lenses provides clarity at any depth of field according to the company. The pan and tilts come with wide dynamic range for sites with high contrast and changing light.
On-board storage in the IP units allows the cameras to capture continuous video despite a network crash, vital for facilities where downtime is not an option. The range offers physical durability with vandal resistant IK10 outdoor housing. Also offered is built-in electronic image stabilization (EIS). This can counteract extreme weather conditions such as high wind or vibration that would ordinarily interfere with other cameras, it is claimed. The outdoor units are also housed in IP66-rated tamper resistant domes to protect the cameras from damage by dust or heavy rain.
Mark Openshaw, product manager EMEA at Honeywell Security Group, said: “High quality continuous detailed video surveillance capabilities at the right price are key factors when making security purchasing decisions. Often, facilities that rely the most on advanced video surveillance – such as airports, schools, and critical infrastructure sites – struggle to access the latest technologies, whether due to budget constraints, existing cabling infrastructures or just wanting to remain with familiar systems and routines. The cost-effective HDZ PTZ cameras including analogue options are a good answer.”
The addition of the IP 22x optical zoom 1080p HD (high definition) camera to the Honeywell HDZ Series complements the existing IP 30x optical zoom1080p HD (high definition) and the IP 720×576 SD (D1 – standard definition) PTZ cameras. Visit www.honeywell.com/security/uk.
