MOBOTIX Expands Its Thermal Camera Range With World First Innovations

MOBOTIX has introduced the new thermal sensor modules for the S15D, being the first thermal devices to use MOBOTIX’s revolutionary dual flexmount video cable technology. This is available with all S15D upgraded to software version MX-V4.2.1.43. The flexible video cabling, weatherproof design, and tiny footprint allows the two S15D thermal sensor modules to be installed […]

Hikvision Introduces New Flexible And Discreet Miniature IP-Camera Series

By Andy Ball on March 11, 2014 Hikvision is proud to introduce its series of miniature-sized IP cameras; the DS-2CD64 series. This new mini series provides both flexibility and ease of installation – especially in areas of very limited space – and makes it ideal for discreet surveillance applications (such as ATMs, access control, and upscale retail locations, among others). As the overall HD IP surveillance market continues to boom, IP adoption in vertical markets has taken on even more importance by seeking out products that meet the specialized requirements for every vertical market. Hikvision’s DS-2CD64 series covert camera is designed with this vertical market concept in mind. “This series is comprised of a palm-sized main unit and thumb-sized lens unit. This small size allows the camera to easily blend into a variety of environments where space may be an issue, or where an intrusive-looking conventional camera adversely affects the desired environment of the location. Furthermore, beside its small size, this camera packs a bevy of additional features,” explained Adler Wu, Product Marketing Manager at Hikvision. The DS-2CD64 series An Abundance of In-House Features Hikvision’s DS-2CD64 series is the first of its type to incorporate true 120dB WDR, as well as other powerful image processing functionalities like 3D DNR and BLC. Features such as these allow the DS-2CD64 to capture crystal-clear HD (1280×960) images under any lighting conditions. When in a vertically-shaped environment, such as a corridor or hallway, this camera adjusts to “Rotate Mode” to deliver better vertically-oriented […]

KeyLemon, SoftKinetic Launch New Facial Recognition System

keylemon logo January 21, 2014 –  KeyLemon  has launched a new wide-spectrum facial recognition system developed with SoftKinetic . According to the company, by analyzing incoming data using both visible light and infrared cameras in parallel, this innovative technology accurately identifies faces in most lighting conditions and is highly resistant to ID spoofing attacks using photos and videos. The key to the system’s tolerance of diverse lighting conditions comes from its use of both visible light and infrared imaging. 20 points of comparison are made for face matching. The system is also able to detect the difference between a live face, versus an image or video, as its ual-camera imaging system evaluates inputs for infrared heat signatures. “This technology gives users high security without headaches,” Gilles Florey, KeyLemon co-founder and CEO said. “Since our dual-camera face ID system operates continuously, in the background and without any interaction required, users forget it’s even there, protecting their data 24/7. And that’s always been a top priority for us. In our view, technology that gets out of your way is the best technology of all.” “Secure, fast and reliable face identification is an excellent use of 3D technology and our DepthSense camera,” Eric Krzeslo, chief marketing officer at SoftKinetic said. “By combining 3D and infrared (IR) data with face recognition technology, individuals and enterprises who require the highest level of security now have an excellent solution.” “The uses for this technology are nearly limitless, from consumer devices to enterprise, automotive, medical, online banking, […]

New MOBOTIX Cameras More Light Sensitive And Shows More Detail

PR fire > Technology New Camera Line From MOBOTIX Is More Light Sensitive And Shows More Detail Than Ever Before Winnweiler/Langmeil, Germany, December 13, 2013. The new D25, M25 and Q25 5-megapixel IP camera models deliver high-contrast images without motion blur, even in poorly illuminated scenes thanks to the new MOBOTIX low-light optimization feature. As a result, they are considerably more light sensitive than the respective predecessor models and have twice as many pixels as Full HD. All models feature state-of-the-art motion detection. Whether large objects in the foreground or small ones in the background, the integrated MxActivitySensor only records video or triggers an alarm if an important event actually occurs. Interference caused, for instance, by trees moving in the wind, shadows, passing clouds or snowfall is consistently ignored better than ever before. The motion sensor configures itself automatically; if necessary, it is possible to select the image region and direction of motion of the objects. The three models are weatherproof and operate at temperatures between -30°C to +50°C (-22°F to 122°F). The only differences in the models are the design and the additional sensors they offer. The D25 is a compact dome camera for indoor and outdoor use and can be additionally equipped with vandalism protection. The M25 features a microphone and is designed to withstand extreme weather situations. The Q25 generates 180-degree panorama images with significantly improved details and therefore discreetly secures an entire room without any blind spots. This way it is far easier to capture […]
