New range of high resolution colour auto focus cameras from Siemens
New range of high resolution colour auto focus cameras from Siemens

The cameras produce pictures of the highest quality, even under variable lighting conditions, including options for day-night and low and mains powered use.  The cameras have been designed with ease of installation in mind, featuring an all in one lens-camera-housing-bracket, with the zoom lens (up to 22x optical zoom) already connected and back focused. A typical application could be the monitoring of a petrol station, with the optical auto focus zoom easily going from a wide angle shot to a zoomed image, triggered by the lifting of the petrol pump, (see examples left).  This provides a close-up view of the driver and number plate, providing evidence in the event that payment for the fuel is not made.All in one ‘lens-camera-housing-bracket'Clearest pictures by day and nightOptimal settings provide the best picturesCamera title for ease of identificationRemote programming and control22x optical zoom with auto focusThe outdoor models have the camera with lens encased in an IP66 approved watertight housing which includes an internal heater, with even the mounting bracket and sun protection cover included.For day-night applications the CCAS1415 models ensure optimal picture quality, whatever the lighting conditions during the day, and when used with infrared lighting, providing crisp monochrome images at night.  There is also no need for operator intervention to switch from day to night mode - once the switchover light level is set, this occurs automatically. In addition to high resolution performance, the cameras are also extremely easy to use.  A logical, on-screen display (OSD) function enables easy programming of the cameras' many features and settings, including white balance, light settings, back-light compensation, line-lock synchronisation and dynamic noise reduction.  Specific text can be established for each camera and overlaid in the image to enable the operator to quickly recognise which picture a camera is showing.Programming is done either through the camera's OSD or remotely via an integrated RS485 interface.  The Siemens SISTORE range of digital recording and transmission systems can be used to control the zoom lens of the camera, again via the RS485 interface.  With the addition of the Siemens CKA keyboard, perhaps with a matrix switcher or digital recorder, control is also possible for the 22x optical and 11x digital zoom function.

Siemens have integrated Pixim Incoporated's patented Digital Pixel System® (DPS) technology into their new Ultra Wide Dynamic Colour Surveillance camera (CCWC1345).  This offers ease of use with a convenient remote set-up via serial ports.  Key benefits of this include:Wide dynamic range (120 dB)NTSC/PAL dual video standardsUniversal twisted pair (UTP) video out and two power input modelsSiemens' CCWC1345 is ideal for applications such as traffic monitoring, incident detection and other surveillance activities in varying lighting conditions.Besides the conventional BNC video output, an integrated UTP video output enables the transmission of the video signal via simple twisted pair cabling such as telephone cable over a distance of up to 1200m using a twisted pair receiver unit such as TP-RXMO02 or equivalent.  This is ideal for installations requiring long distance cabling, such as tunnel surveillance."Our new Pixim-enabled CMOS ultra Wide Dynamic Colour Surveillance Camera delivers excellent image quality and colour accuracy in any lighting conditions with no motion artefacts," explains Thomas Dieregsweiler, CCTV Product Manager for Siemens Fire Safety and Security Products. "Not only does the CCWC1345 overcome challenging lighting such as glare, extreme lighting, and strong backlight, to catch crucial details, but the Pixim chipset has enabled Siemens to produce one camera for both NTSC and PAL video standards for greater installation flexibility."
