New Network Camera Models Include Weather and
Vandal Resistant Speed Domes with 30x Optical Zoom and 360 Degrees
Continuous Rotation, and Multiple Outdoor and Indoor Fixed Dome and
Bullet Cameras
Canon U.S.A., Inc., a leader in digital imaging solutions, has
introduced nine new Network Cameras with advanced capabilities
designed to efficiently meet outdoor and indoor applications in a
wide range of markets including city surveillance, critical
infrastructure, financial institutions, airports and
transportation, education, retail, commercial offices, and gaming
establishments. All nine new Canon network cameras integrate
advanced core components designed to deliver video with superb
detail, vital color information and exceptional low-light
performance. Those core components include advanced Genuine Canon
lenses with High and Super High UD (Ultra-low Dispersion) lens
elements and multilayer coatings, high sensitivity 1.3MP CMOS image
sensors, and dual proprietary Canon DIGIC processors: the DIGIC DV
III to help maximize image quality and the DIGIC NET II for
simultaneous streaming of H.264 and M-JPEG video streams in
multiple resolutions for versatile monitoring and recording
(including monitoring on compatible smartphones and tablets).
“Security is an ever-growing concern in many sectors, and Canon
is continually improving and expanding its lineup of Network
Cameras,” said Yuichi Ishizuka, president and COO, Canon U.S.A.
“Canon’s years of expertise in designing and manufacturing some the
world’s greatest lenses, image sensors, signal processors, and
robotic mechanisms contributed to these newest Network Cameras,
which include indoor and outdoor models designed to deliver
outstanding video quality and the latest technical compatibilities
for use in many markets.”
Innovations for Convenience and Versatility
Common among all nine new Canon network cameras is a range of
features intended to help maximize utility, convenience and
efficiency. These features include Area-Specific Data Size
Reduction (ADSR), which allows users to save bandwidth by applying
different levels of compression to specific areas within a camera’s
field of view (higher quality can be maintained in areas of
interest), Haze Compensation, which allows for capturing high
contrast video even in misty or hazy conditions like those near
water or mountainous areas, scheduled Custom Video Settings for
optimal image capture according to time of day and conditions
(includes exposure, shutter speed, iris, gain, white balance, and
noise reduction), and Intelligent On-board Video Analytics to aid
in analyzing video content. User adjustable in terms of detection
characteristics (sensitivity, area, and duration), these
Intelligent functions include Moving Object Detection, Abandoned
Object Detection, Removed Object Detection, Camera Tampering
Detection, Passing (“Tripwire”) Detection, Volume Detection, and –
depending on the model – Scream Detection, Intrusion Detection, and
Sound-Level Detection.
All nine cameras also include a built-in memory card slot for
recording live images and H.264 video during network outages, per
event triggers, at scheduled times, or manually via the Admin
viewer. All nine cameras are ONVIF 2.4.2 / Profile S / Profile G
conformant to help ensure maximum interoperability with third-party
recorders, and all also include the new Canon Camera Management
Tool (CCMT) that allows for centralized management of all current
Canon Network Cameras (camera discovery, configuration, back-ups
and restores, firmware upgrades, etc.).
Speed Dome Network Cameras
Three of the latest Canon network video cameras form a new Canon
product category known as Speed Dome Network Cameras. These include
the outdoor VB-R11VEi and VB-R10VEi models and the
indoor VB-R11i, all of which feature a 30x Genuine Canon
optical zoom lens utilizing high ultra-low dispersion lens elements
to help capture clear virtually distortion-free imagery at a
distance, and 0.03 lux performance (at F1.4 and a shutter speed of
1/30 sec.) to capture critical image details in low light. Most
notable among the features of the Speed Dome cameras is
Moving-Subject Auto-Tracking with Auto-Zoom and Endless 360 degrees
Panning. These features enable the cameras to automatically control
panning and tilting to keep a tracked subject centered on the
screen as that subject moves. Users can also enable an “Auto Zoom”
function of the Auto-Tracking feature that allows the camera to
automatically zoom into the subject being tracked. In addition, the
Endless 360 degrees Panning feature delivers seamless tracking of
subjects of interest as they approach, pass beneath, and walk away
from a Speed Dome camera all while being continuously tracked the
entire time. A full 180 degrees tilting feature includes automatic
image-flipping to keep the video right-side-up after the subject
passes beneath the camera.
Canon optical encoders, micro-stepping motors, and a timing belt
enable the Speed Dome Network cameras to provide fast (up to 450
degrees per second), precise panning and tilting. A slip-ring
feature transfers power and signals between the moving and
stationary parts of the cameras, thus eliminating cables that could
twist.
The outdoor VB-R11VE and VB-R10VE Speed Dome Network Cameras
also feature a dome housing that is both IP66-rated and IK10-rated
for impact resistance. A built-in heater and blower also provide
temperature control allowing the cameras to be deployed in areas
with harsh climates. PoE+ compatibility also allows for
single-cable installation.
Fixed Dome Network Cameras
Featuring IK10-rated vandal-resistant housings, the outdoor
VB-M641VEi and VB-M640VEi and indoor VB-M641Vi
and VB-M640Vi Fixed Dome Network Cameras are equipped with
2.4x Genuine Canon wide-angle zoom lens with a 111.5 degrees
ultra-wide angle of view. The lenses are also IR corrected to help
ensure proper focus if IR illumination is present. All four also
feature Canon’s Remote Adjustment Function which may eliminate the
need for a technician to climb a ladder or use a bucket truck
should it become necessary to re-frame an installed camera’s angle
of view. This task can instead be performed via a
password-protected Internet-connected PC. The bodies of the outdoor
VB-M641VE and VB-M640VE cameras are also IP66-rated,
and an optional heater is also available for the VB-M641VE
enabling integrators to configure it for use in low-temperature
environments. The VB-M641VE and VB-M641V also offer
Intruder Detection and Scream Detection as part of their
Intelligent Functions.
Outdoor Fixed Bullet Cameras
Housed in an IP66-rated rectangular body linked to a sturdy
mounting base via a tamper-resistant adjustable ball-joint, the
outdoor VB-M741LEi and VB-M740Ei Fixed Bullet Network
Cameras are equipped with 2.4x Genuine Canon wide-angle zoom lens
with a 113.4 degrees ultra-wide angle of view. The VB-M741LE
includes several features unique to that model including four
built-in infrared LED illuminators for surveillance in 0 lux
conditions – with two of the LEDs designed to be more effective in
wide-angle settings and the other two in telephoto; a built-in
heater for environments with harsh climates; a two-way audio for
communication between the operator and the camera location; and
Scream Detection and Sound Level Detection as part of the list of
Intelligent Functions.
