The new ULISSE EVO PTZ range from Italian manufacturer Videotec will integrate the Sony FCB-EV7520 camera. This camera is for the external surveillance of airports, critical infrastructures, and traffic.
This new ULISSE pan and tilt has a 30x optical zoom and a 1/2.8-inch Exmor RTM CMOS sensor with full HD 1080/60p resolution for images even when surveilling moving objects or in poor lighting, the product firm says. The image stabilisation algorithm means even the smallest camera vibrations are detected and any blur in the footage is dynamically corrected. This results in a sharp image, the manufacturer says, useful for traffic monitoring applications where the camera could be buffeted by wind or shaken by mechanical vibrations, especially if installed on a bridge or pole.
A user can set up to 24 dynamic privacy zone masks. These masks change size and shape based on the pan/tilt/zoom position so objects that shouldn’t be seen remain hidden. The SONY technology brings the functions of Wide Dynamic Range and High Light Compensation that allow for contrasting light and dark in the same scene.
The camera’s high sensitivity means you get colour video with a minimum illumination of just 0.0013lx (0.0008lx in black and white). This guarantees surveillance coverage even when lighting at the scene is very poor, according to the developers. The LED illuminator integrated into the PTZ, which is available as an accessory, is for monitoring 24 hours.
A de-fog function provides a view even with fog or haze. When this function is activated, the camera will detect how hazy it is and compensates accordingly in the image. The PTZ provides three Full HD streams with H.264/Avc digital compression. It can be connected to an Ethernet network and can send video streams to digital monitors and storage systems. For working with products from other companies, it complies with the ONVIF Profile S and Profile Q protocols.
The product can be 24Vac/24Vdc or 90W PoE powered, depending on installation requirements. It can even be mounted upside down, in the typical speed dome position. The supports can be supplied with quick-fit connectors for Ethernet/PoE, power supply and I/O. This means the unit can be replaced in case of on-site intervention.
The wiper is supplied as standard, for optimum cleaning of the front glass. The product operates at maximum efficiency between minus 40 degrees C and plus degrees 65 C. It is IK10, IP66/IP67/IP68, NEMA Type 4X and Type 6P protected and is wind-resistant up to 230 km/h, for protection against dust and bad weather, strong impacts or gusts of wind, and acts of vandalism.
