Multi-directional camera

　　New from Tyco, part of Johnson Controls, is Flex multi-directional camera in its Illustra range. Made for monitoring over wide spaces, the second generation Illustra Flex camera comes with four separate image sensors. Each can be positioned and angled to provide up to 360 degree coverage via four separate non-stitched video streams.

　　Each of the four sensors can capture 4MP images, enabling the camera to cover an area which might normally require four separate high definition video surveillance cameras,the manufacturer says. As well as a reduced capital cost to installers and end-users, the camera requires less cabling and mounting hardware. It only needs a single IP connection.

　　The camera’s magnetic base enables each sensor to be independently placed and a three-axis gimbal on each sensor allows their fields of view to be tuned. Configuration options include, for example, 360 coverage of open office areas, retail stores and car parks; 270 degree coverage when the camera is installed externally on the corner of a building; or a 180 degree field of view when the camera is mounted on a wall.

　　The ONVIF Profile S compliant camera’s also features:

　　– Field swappable lens modules.

　　– day/night functionality with a removable infrared cut filter (ICR), for the camera to operate in low light.

　　– True Wide Dynamic Range (TWDR) which performs at up to 50dB to deliver images from scenes which might contain bright and dark areas, such as the entrances to retail stores.

　　– Support for H.264 and MJPEG compression formats allows up to three simultaneous video streams to be transmitted and recorded at up to 30 frames per second, while managing bandwidth to reduce storage costs.

　　– Flexibility to choose between overview and detailed images for each stream.

　　– Power over Ethernet (PoE) support, which negates the need to provide a separate power supply and cabling for each camera.

　　– IP66 rated

　　

　　多向摄像机

　　Tyco公司的新产品是Johnson Controls的一部分，它是Illustra系列的Flex多向摄像机。第二代Illustra Flex摄像机专为监视宽广的空间而设计。它带有四个独立的图像传感器，每一个都可以定位和倾斜，通过四个独立的非拼接视频流提供高达360度的覆盖范围。

　　四个传感器中的每一个都可以捕获4MP图像，从而使摄像机能够覆盖通常可能需要四个单独的高清视频监控摄像机的区域。除了减少安装人员和终端用户的成本外，摄像机对电缆和安装硬件的需求也更少，它只需要一个IP连接就可以。

　　摄像机的磁性底座使每个传感器都可以独立放置，并且每个传感器上的三轴万向节可以调节其视野。配置选项包括，例如360度覆盖开放式办公区域、零售商店和停车场；当摄像机安装在建筑物拐角处时，覆盖范围为270度；或将相机安装在墙壁上时可获得180度视野。

　　这款与ONVIF S协议相兼容的摄像机还具有以下功能：

　　–可更换的镜头模块。

　　–带有可移动红外截止滤光片（ICR）的昼/夜功能，使摄像机能在弱光环境下正常工作。

　　–真正的宽动态范围（TWDR），其最高高达50dB的宽动态范围可从包含明亮区域和黑暗区域的场景（例如零售商店的入口）传输图像。

　　–对H.264和MJPEG压缩格式的支持允许最多以每秒30帧的速度传输和记录多达三个同步视频流，同时节省带宽以降低存储成本。

　　–灵活地在每个流的概览图像和详细图像之间进行选择。

　　–以太网供电（PoE）支持，无需为每个摄像机提供单独的电源和电缆。

　　– IP66防护等级
