Grundig has launched its 4k, Ultra HD, IP camera range. The German manufacturer is initially offering day-night box, bullet and fixed dome (pictured) cameras. All use a 1/1.7-inch CMOS sensor, with Ambarella S2 DSP and deliver 3840 x 2160 pixel, 8MP resolution images.
Andreas Kronwald, Product Manager at Grundig, said: “4k provides exceptional scene coverage, clarity and detail, capturing everything in view. With four times the resolution of 2MP, Full HD cameras, 4k cameras miss nothing. They may cost more than 2MP cameras, but fewer are needed for site coverage, saving in cabling, configuration, recording channels, VMS software licenses and more.
“If an incident occurs, users can eZoom into the scene for even greater detail, in both live or playback mode. This makes 4k cameras extremely effective for forensic searching, frequently used by video management software (VMS) and video analytics systems.”
The 4k cameras can be used in landscape or corridor formats, making them suitable the German makers say for aisles, corridors, tunnels and platforms. The bullet and fixed dome camera options are IP66 weatherproof rated and the fixed dome is IK10 vandal-resistant rated. They have a motorised, 3.5 to 8mm, vari-focal zoom lens, for a sharp focus and has remote, optical zoom flexibility. P-Iris (‘precise iris’) increases image contrast, clarity, resolution and depth of field. Low light sensitivity is 0.005 Lux in black and white modes and IR (infra-red) illumination operates in darkness, with a 50m range. All the cameras operate down to minus 25 degrees C.
The box camera is for indoor use and fits a range of MP lenses. For more on Grundig CCTV products email [email protected] or visit www.grundig-security.com.
