Hanwha Techwin America introduces 37x zoom weatherproof bullet camera

The Samsung SCO-2370 37x zoom weatherproof ‘all-in-one' bullet camera is supplied complete with a housing, bracket, heater, fan and sunshield, as well as 1m of pre-made cable, enabling installers to save both time and money on installation and commissioning.

The SCO-2370 utilises Samsung's highly acclaimed W-V DSP chipset to capture high quality colour images at 600 TV lines during the day and 700 TV lines monochrome images at night.

Petrol station forecourts, schools, retail outlets and commercial buildings are just some of the environments that could benefit from the 37x optical zoom and true day/night camera capabilities, and with a weatherproof rating of IP68 the SCO-2370 is also at home in more demanding external environments that are prone to severe weather conditions, such as sea ports. Other built-in features include eight motion detection zones, twelve privacy masking zones and third generation Samsung Super Noise Reduction (SSNRIII) technology.

Coaxial control compatibility allows the fourteen-language on-screen display menu to be accessed from the comfort of the control room via a compatible DVR, such as the latest coaxial control versions of Samsung's SRD series.

Other key features include Highlight Compensation technology which identifies and neutralises excessively bright areas in an image, enabling the operator to view previously hidden details. The SCO-2370 also benefits from Samsung Super Dynamic Range (SSDR) which automatically lightens the dark areas within a scene whilst maintaining the brighter areas at the same level. This ensures that the dark areas become more visible allowing the operator to ‘view' objects in the shadows.

The SCO-2370 is part of a range of Samsung bullet cameras which are available from all Samsung distributors and are offered with full support services from Samsung Techwin Europe Ltd., including free system design, free technical support and a full three-year warranty.
