Canon Europe has added two new ultra-compact 1.3 megapixel resolution network cameras –the VB-S805D and VB-S905F– to its product range. The new cameras form part of the recently launched S series and feature Canon’s distinctive advanced lens technology as well as dual image and network processors.

The VB-S805D and VB-S905F offer high-quality monitoring with detailed images and six intelligent analytic functions.

The in-built analytics offer detection of movement, abandoned objects, removed objects, camera tampering, passing, and volume detection.

These new models are suitable for surveillance in a variety of indoor environments, including small retail outlets, education, and hospitality sectors.

The inclusion of dual processors Digic DV III and Digic Net II means each step of the imaging process –capturing, processing encoding and transmitting– is performed seamlessly.

Additional benefits include enabling outstanding low light performance, even in difficult lighting conditions, to offer a true day/night solution.

The aspherical lens elements and high refractive index lenses of the VB-S805D and VB-S905F are used to create a compact lens unit with high image quality and minimal distortion or color aberration.

In both models, the lenses offer a wide angle of view and low distortion, while more light is delivered to the camera’s sensor.

The result is brighter and better defined images. The VB-S805D and VB-S905F provide 1.3 megapixel resolution and impressive image quality, even in low light conditions.

The auto smart shade control makes real-time adjustments to exposure to improve visibility in dark areas and difficult lighting conditions.
