HeiTel introduced a new generation of its digital image archive system CamDisc that offers a number of new features, the makers report. The resolution for live image transmission and recording has increased to 720 x 288 pixels. The system now supports recording speeds of up to 20 images/s and live image transmission over TCP/IP networks, the makers say. New search functions and an intuitive user interface make accessing image archives and finding individual images significantly faster and more comfortable, HeiTel say. The new CamDisc units are also equipped with configurable relays (for example for the remote control of
lights, gates, etc.) and offer alarm management functions similar to those found in the CamTel series. HeiTel offers three versions of its digital image archive CamDisc: CamDisc V.24 for transmission with an external dial-up device (PSTN, ISDN, GSM, HSCSD, LAN and Internet connections); CamDisc TCP/IP is equipped with an integrated TCP/IP adapter, but can also establish a redundant (back-up) connection through any transmission medium via its V.24 interface. This also applies to CamDisc ISDN, which is equipped with an integrated ISDN-TA.
CamLine ISDN
HeiTel has also added “CamLine ISDN” (integrated ISDN-TA with the same compact unit dimensions) to its CamLine series for the simultaneous transmission of two video signals.
New Receiver and Central Monitoring Station Software
The introduction of the new image archive and transmission units was accompanied by the release of new HeiTel receiver, control station and archive software. CamTel Windows Software, the PC-based receiving, access and configuration application for all HeiTel products, supports the entire range of new CamDisc features and offers six image resolution quality levels up to 720 x 288 pixels, freely configurable and operable relays, automatic connection establishment in response to alarms or through virtual patrols and the automatic storage of all transmitted video images on the receiver computer. The control station application CamControl 4, which was designed for the display of signals from up to four separate transmitters for use in security centres, also offers these functions.
