American Dynamics™ launches the powerful & economical Discover Wide Dynamic Range Mini-Dome Camera

The Discover series of Mini-Domes delivers a vandal resistant solution at a non-vandal resistant price.  This series of high performance Mini-Domes includes high impact, vandal resistant dome housings built to withstand even the harshest environments.  Unlike other dome housings in the industry, which are made of metal, the Discover series housing is made with extremely durable composite and polycarbonate materials that have "shape memory".  The Discover housing comes with a choice of clear or tinted vandal resistant bubbles and includes a bubble liner to make it more covert.  An advanced pivoting axis lets you position the camera at exactly the angle you need, while optimal white balance provides the clearest, most colour-perfect images possible.With three different types of mini-domes to choose from, there's a Discover solution just right for your particular requirements.The Discover High Resolution Mini-Dome has 540 TVL and also includes a user-selectable Night-Saver mode.The Discover Standard Resolution camera offers a cost effective solution for the value-conscious with 330 TVL.The Discover Wide Dynamic Range (WDR) Mini-Dome has:504 lines of resolution and a pixel-by-pixel shutter speed that lets you see better in areas where both very bright and dark areas exist, such as an entranceway or loading dock. 2x digital zoom to get an even closer view of the action. Night-Saver mode improves performance in low light situations, automatically switching from colour to monochrome as light dims and reverting back to colour once light is restored. DVR-Saver mode which helps conserve valuable hard drive space, reducing the size of video files by up to 30% when used with an Intellex® Digital Video Management System.

Sony adds four new surveillance cameras to its series of analogue camera systems
Sony adds four new surveillance cameras to its series of analogue camera systems

Sony Electronics continues to extend capabilities and value for analogue camera systems with the addition of four new cameras with pacesetting imaging capabilities with increased resolution and dynamic range. The SSC-FM530 and SSC-FM560 Series mini dome cameras alongside the SSC-FB530 and SSCFB560 fixed type CS mount cameras feature DynaViewSX dynamic range enhancement technology and excellent horizontal resolution of 700 lines. Together, these advanced analogue cameras produce superb image detail under a wide range of lighting conditions. "The arrival of 700 TVL imaging along with DynaViewSX dynamic range enhancement technology in these minidome and fixed-type cameras are the next major advance producing significant performance upgrades for analogue  installations," said Mark Collett, General Manager, Sony Security Systems Division. "Our investments in improving analogue technology continue to show real benefits for those with applications that excel with analogue, or for those extending the life and value of their legacy analogue installations." DynaViewSX Unveils Details in Challenging Conditions In addition to 700 TVL resolution, these additions to the Sony analogue security camera line up include the latest generation of dynamic range enhancement for analogue designed to deliver the kinds of quality improvements that matter most in real-world security use. DynaViewSX delivers numerous image enhancement techniques that address challenging scenarios, including piercing the glare from extreme backlighting. Other features of these cameras include Adaptive Tone Reproduction (ATR) and Intelligent Backlight Compensation (iBLC). ATR improves the contrast of subjects in areas where bright and dim areas are captured in the same frame. Uncorrected, the resulting over and/or underexposure hampers visibility of objects. With ATR, the quality of the image across the entire field is improved by adding the optimum gradation compensation based on different luminance information. Likewise, iBLC creates major imaging improvements by utilising a histogram algorithm to recognise the backlit area and analyse the luminance level. This allows for a highly accurate compensation of exposure levels in what is a major advance over conventional backlight compensation strategies. SSC-FM530and SSC-FM560Series Domes: Big Capabilities Reveal Small Details The SSC-FM530and SSC-FM560Series dome cameras are engineered to combine high sensitivity with low power consumption and share 3x Vari-Focal lenses. The SSC-FM530 has an electrical Day/Night capability while the SSC-FM560 has true D/N capabilities. These are all also available in PAL versions. The SSC-FB530 and SSC-FB560 Series Fixed-type Cameras: Sharper, Cleaner Images The SSC-FB530 and SSC-FB560 cameras include the technological achievements of the new dome cameras, but are a CS mount, fixed type design (lenses are not included). This allows for flexibility on lens choices depending on the field of view requirements.
