New from Avigilon is the HD Pro camera series. The cameras are available in 8 MP, 12 MP and 16 MP resolutions. According to the Canadian company, the camera provides detailed coverage of vast areas with fewer conventional cameras required. The product can capture moving objects due to its increased frame rates and can be used with the Avigilon Control Center software.
Bryan Schmode, executive vice president of global sales and marketing at Avigilon, said: “When we introduced our JPEG 2000 Pro series cameras in 2007 we set a new precedent for innovation in the industry. The HD Pro series now raises the bar even higher as we have broken new ground to enable end-users to have the highest quality images possible. This new technology combined with the latest version of our Avigilon Control Center software pushes the boundaries of innovation as we continue to deliver the most effective surveillance solution that is unmatched in the industry.”
As for the image quality of the cameras, Avigilon’s new H4 platform combines H.264 compression with the latest edition of Avigilon’s proprietary High Definition Stream Management (HDSM), HDSM 2.0. The makers say that this allows for greater processing power, increased frame rate, improved image quality and smarter bandwidth and storage management.
The HD Pro series will be demonstrated at booth SA-319C at the Intersec 2014 trade show in Dubai, UAE from January 19 to 21, 2014. The series was designed for expansive areas such as stadiums, parking lots, airports and commercial applications. The HD Pro series will begin shipping in Q2 2014. Visit – avigilon.com/sales.
