product news Quality lenses London, UK Fujinon has launched a number of zoom lenses, including the full HD zoom lens series with 32x and 60x optical magnification. Both lens series combine large optical zoom ratios with high resolutions and large sensor formats of 1/1.8” and 2/3”. The 32x zoom lenses impress with full HD image quality across the entire zoom range with maximum focal lengths of up to f = 400 mm (FD32x12.5SR4A) on 1/1.8” sensors and f = 500mm (FH32x15.6SR4A). To respond to increasing market demands for colour images even in low light, the lenses are designed for large sensor sizes of 1/1.8” and 2/3”. The built-in visible-light-cut filter enables reliable performance even in fog, rain and snow. Analogue control for zoom, focus and iris is supported as well as serial control via RS232C interface for operation by PC. In addition the lenses support the widely used Pelco-D protocol. The 60x telezoom lens series D60x16.7 and FH60x20 feature 2 megapixel / full HD resolution. The D60x16.7 lenses are designed for a maximum sensor size of 1/1.8” and cover a focal length range of f = 16.7 ~ 1000 mm while the FH60x20 lenses offer a focal length range of f = 20 ~ 1200mm on 2/3” sensors. Thanks to the built-in 2x extender the focal length can be doubled, giving clear identification and recognition of objects at 4 km distance. Additional features include anti-vibration technology which is achieved through built-in optical image stabilisation due to moving glass elements inside the lens. This unique optical image stabilisation technology compensates for image vibration; the result is a stable picture even at long focal lengths The built-in filter systems are controllable via a remote control feature. There are 2 types of ND The built-in visible-light-cut filter enables reliable performance even in fog, rain and snow.. filter selections for observation suitable in most lighting conditions. A visible-light-cut filter gives advantages in most critical weather conditions such as fog and rain. Additionally, the one-shot autofocus system enables accurate and reliable focusing based on contrast measurement within the scene and precise lens control can be achieved via the PC to adjust zoom, focus and iris through an RS232C interface. Hammerglass provides unique explosion protection Förslöv, Sweden With the growing threat and risk of attacks and explosions in densely populated urban environments Hammerglass Explosion Protection offers a unique, explosion-resistant solution compatible with the façade of the building concerned, comprising a steel frame that will hold the glazing panes firmly in position even in a powerful explosion. The need for advanced security glass in windows, doors and glass partitions is also increasing. In a powerful explosion, conventional glass panes will splinter even at a great distance from the explosion, often with serious splinter injuries as a consequence. In properties located in the immediate vicinity of the explosion even splinter-free panes will be forced in, despite being made from toughened or laminated glass. In sensitive urban locations, in government buildings, embassies, banks and the like, Hammerglass offers highly effective protection which will not fragment or splinter in a blast. Explosion protection panels are available in a number of different configurations and thicknesses, depending on the required level of protection. Hammerglass Explosion Protection is a glazing solution compatible with the building façade, comprising a 12mm Hammerglass glazing pane mounted in a sturdy steel frame. The steel frame holds the whole package in place even in a powerful explosion. This splinter-free solution is thinner, and weighs substantially less, than comparable solutions based on normal glass. Hammerglass offers customers confidential advice at the planning stage. In order to guarantee workmanship of the highest quality, Hammerglass Explosion Protection is installed exclusively by certified installers. Installation does not entail any damage to existing architecture. All Hammerglass glazing panes are laser marked with the company’s logotype and production number, thus ensuring traceability for internal quality assurance and safety in the event of any warranty issues. Milestone extends audio support in latest release Copenhagen, Denmark Milestone has released device pack 9.3 for Milestone Xprotect video management software (VMS) preparing the Milestone community for using audio to increase safety. In addition, more than 300 cameras have received updated or new support. In preparation for the soon-tocome Xprotect 2017 R3 version, audio support has been enhanced for selected Axis, Hanwha and Sony cameras, in addition to sup- port for AAC (Advanced Audio Codec) in cameras. This audio compression format is designed to deliver superior quality compared to formats traditionally used in VMS. Using audio as an integrated part of a video surveillance system can be a valuable addition to a system’s ability to deliver operational awareness. Audio can also be used in analytics applications to alert and direct attention to incidents not covered by the system’s cameras. Additionally, within the new device pack, firmware has been updated for more than 230 Axis cameras in addition to adding 16 new models. Twelve models from the new Mx6 line from Mobotix are also included in this device pack. There are updates to support for Hikvision, Hanwha and Panasonic cameras, as well. Support for the intelligent video compression technology called Snapstream has been added for selected Arecont Vision cameras. Smokecatcher from Araani is an early warning system for smoke detection in critical environments which offers superfast smoke detection in places where traditional smoke detection systems fail due to slow response or poor accuracy. Smokecatcher has been certified to be used with Xprotect.
