product news Intelligent thermal camera technology Langmeil, Germany Mobotix has launched a new series of thermal camera products, equipped with a new type of thermal sensing technology to realise automatic events, based on absolute temperature within -40°C to +550°C. This new technology is engineered to generate automatic alarms, defined by temperatures limits or temperature ranges, which is vital to detect potential fire or heat sources. At the same time, Mobotix is providing a software update free of charge to upgrade existing thermal cameras with thermal spot metering in the image centre. Within the available temperature range of -40°C to +550°C and a thermal sensitivity of 0.05°C (NETD=50mK), different temperature conditions can be easily defined within the new TR (Thermal Radiometry) window or over the whole sensor image with a typical accuracy of ±10°C. Up to 20 multiple temperature events can be defined at the same time. Spot metering, which measures temperature related to 4 pixels at the image centre, is also improved in the new thermal TR products with a typical accuracy of ±10°C. These new releases will help to prevent bigger damages in industrial and commercial premises, at manufacturing and logistic sites, recycling facilities, forests, etc. Mobtix Thermal Radiometry (TR) is available in the company’s M15 models, and as a sensor module in the S15 dual camera system. Furthermore, TR is also available as an S15 PT-mount sensor head. Both S15 thermal modules can be set up as dual thermal system for most flexible usage or as a combination of thermal and optical sensor technology to ensure the most reliable detection results and visual verification at the same time. CCTV Vertical surveillance solutions from Vivotek Taipei, Taiwan Vivotek showcased its latest surveillance solutions for targeted vertical markets at the International Exhibition of Security & Fire Prevention (Sicurezza 2015) taking place from November 3rd to 5th in the Fiera Milano. Vivotek’s surveillance solutions feature the three key benefits of LowProfile Retail Protection, Real-time Traffic Monitoring, and Efficient IP Surveillance Management. Specifically designed for the retail market, Vivotek will present the Low-Profile Retail Protection solutions, including the recessedmount fixed dome network camera, FD816C-HF2, and the compact 3 megapixel fisheye network camera, CC8370-HV. Both models incorporate advanced features such as WDR Pro and SNV (supreme night visibility), which maintain optimal image quality around the clock while discretely protecting visitors. For spaces where the aesthetic appeal of interior design matters, FD816C-HF2 and CC8370HV are ideal solutions. Also on show will be Vivotek’s License Plate Capture Solution, the IP816A-LPC, for Real-time Traffice Monitoring applications. This professional 2 megapixel box network camera can provide wideangle views of dual-lane traffic and optimise installation efficiency to ensure superb recognition results. In addition, by adopting a built-in IR pass filter and additional IR LEDs, the camera is able to capture crystal-clear day and night license plate images from vehicles. Leveraging abundant professional experience in and for Efficient IP Surveillance Management, Vivotek aims to make the deployment of IP surveillance systems both easier and more flexible through the successful launch of its Vivo Cam PoE switch. With a single Vivo Cam PoE switch, all Vivotek network cameras, NVR (Network Video Recorder) and CMS (Central Management Software) can be set up and configured automatically, with any troubleshooting of connection issues simply and quickly handled through the Vivo Cam PoE switch. Diego Perissinotto, Regional Vivotek vertical surveillance solutions debut at Sicurezza 2015. Manager, Vivotek Inc, said, “we are pleased to introduce Vivotek’s solutions for the European market at this year’s Sicurezza 2015. With these dedicated vertical solutions, we look forward to satisfying the needs of many specific applications.” Dallmeier launches online Smavia tutorial Regensburg, Germany Smavia Viewing Client is a powerful and intuitive software for the convenient evaluation of live and recorded image material via Ethernet. In new “How-To” videos Dallmeier aims to show how easy it is to use the software and what useful features it offers. The video focuses on live viewing of video material. In the Smavia Viewing Client the cameras are represented in a clear camera tree structure, from which they can easily be moved by drag and drop into various split windows. A special highlight are the “flexible split windows”: In addition to predefined split views every user can adapt the software specifically to his or her requirements and define and design split windows individually. A corridor mode can also be set up very easily, since there are no fixed default image layouts such as 16:9 or 4:3. If several monitors are being used it is also possible to start the Smavia Viewing Client in multiple instances. In addition, many other useful features are available to the operator, such as the integration of site maps, an For more info about the products, contact the suppliers directly by looking in the Security Buyers Guide on page 50 The suppliers web site is linked to the global security web portal, www.securityworldhotel.com Security News Every Day – www. securityworldhotel.com
