New from AVer is a range of rugged IP cameras.
The models include 2MP and 3MP bullet cameras, pictured (FB2028 and FB3028) and 2MP and 3MP vandal domes (FV2028 and FV3028).
Rated at IP68, these cameras are dust-tight and waterproof up to one metre. They come with an IK10 rating in the international standard for mechanical impact, suitable, for example, the company says, in areas prone to vandalism. Each also offers power surge protection according to the EN50130-4 standard.
All models will withstand temperatures ranging from minus 60 to plus 60 degrees C, which makes them suitable for industrial uses such as in cold storage rooms or around industrial processes that generate heat, and for extreme weather conditions if used outside. Built-in heating and cooling components mean that the cameras deliver imaging in any site, the company adds.
Each model features a vari-focal lens, two-way audio and built-in microSD storage along with configurable day/night mode control. The 2MP models record video at full-HD 1920×1080 resolution with the 3MP upgrading this to 2048×1536. All cameras come with a built-in LED and offer backlight compensation and digital noise reduction; and the 3MP models also offer true wide dynamic range (WDR) to adjust images to cope with bright sunlight or severe lighting changes, so that image contrast remains steady.
Nigel Roberts, Marketing Manager of AVer, says: “In designing our new range of rugged cameras, we were determined to reach the very highest standards of protection against the sorts of conditions that would render most other models useless. We’re proud to have reached those standards, and by incorporating the wide range of functionality and versatility that our customers have grown to expect, believe we can offer a robust solution to a very real problem for security standards in modern industry.”
