IndigoVision launches revolutionary H.264 HD IP camera range

IndigoVision is launching a professional range of High-Definition (HD) IP CCTV cameras to worldwide markets at a number of forthcoming international security shows.  The HD 10000 series will complement the company's existing 8000 and 9000 range of True IP Cameras and are designed to work with the IndigoVision integrated end-to-end IP Video solution.

Using outstanding H.264 compression technology, an HD 10000 series IP camera will allow high-definition video to be streamed at 15 fps and recorded for 50 days using just 1TB of storage.  Updated versions of the HD 10000 range, which allow video streaming at a full 30 fps, will be released shortly.  This exceptional compression enables IndigoVision's HD solution to be used on standard networks and storage, bringing the benefits of high-definition video to everyday CCTV surveillance applications.  The unique hardware-based compression engine of the HD 10000 series guarantees frames are never dropped.

The HD IP cameras can be used alongside IndigoVision's current 4SIF resolution IP cameras, which use MPEG-4 and H.264 compression.  This will provide the end-user with a truly flexible solution and a wide spectrum of IP camera price/performance from which to choose.

HD versions of all the company's current IP camera range will be rolled-out shortly.  These include internal, external and IP66 vandal resistant variants of the fixed and PTZ domes and internal static cameras.  Power-over-Ethernet support allows the cameras to be powered directly from the network, simplifying installation and reducing costs.  Options include full duplex audio and a range of different housings and fixings for wall or ceiling mounting.
