With the new MOBOTIX S74 video system, Konica Minolta is significantly expanding the usage options for Intelligent Video Solutions delivered using its MOBOTIX 7 platform. The new model is a high-performance IoT camera featuring up to four different types of sensors (two visual, one thermal, and one movement/sound), which allows for more flexibility than any other MOBOTIX video system.

Exceptionally discreet thanks to its concealed camera housing, the S74 can also access camera apps that have already been integrated, for almost indefinite expansion. This makes the video system universally suitable for any imaginable requirement in even the most diverse industrial applications.

Bright in the dark: Brilliant images, even in low-light conditions

To supplement its already well-known 4K UHD modules in numerous lens opening angles, Konica Minolta is presenting a real world-first with the MOBOTIX S74: The Ultra LowLight 4MP Day & Night sensor module with automatic day/night switching.

The Ultra LowLight technology can produce brilliant images with faithfully reproduced colors, even in low-light conditions. This is an important feature for applications such as identifying vehicles or people, even in the darkest of areas. The modules also have shorter exposure times, significantly increasing the sharpness of the object moving through the twilight image.

The excellent signal-to-noise ratio (SRV) of 0.19 demonstrates the impressive brilliance of the Ultra LowLight sensors. That corresponds to a light sensitivity that is four-times higher than a 4K UHD module. The camera also has potent backlighting technology.

Thanks to the optimized Wide Dynamic Range (WDR) function, all MOBOTIX 7 generation cameras can easily cope with challenging light conditions. WDR simultaneously combines different images with different exposure times into one image, automatically brightening areas that are too dark and preventing areas that are too bright. The result is a more accurate, detailed image in all areas.

Recognize temperature differences from great distances

The excellent image quality also applies in thermal applications. With VGA thermal technology and an extended image angle of up to 90 Source: konicaminolta.co.uk
