CBC’s Host Of Innovative Surveillance Technologies At IFSEC

IFSEC 2009 sees the debut of CBC (Europe)'s latest Ganz systems and Computar lenses

IFSEC 2009 sees the debut of CBC (Europe)'s latest Ganz systems and Computar lenses, including the exciting new Night Vision and Thermal Vision systems and Thermal Dome camera. They line up alongside the company's popular C-AllView vandal resistant camera with its 36x optical zoom lens option, as well as CBC's Radar Vision, which offers unrivalled detection capabilities.

Night Vision

Night Vision combines the optical/operating advantages of the C-AllView camera with infrared lighting fully built-in to the camera housing. Add-on, external infrared lighting is therefore not required for this model, ensuring the correct night-time illumination is automatically provided for the camera operator. This feature also offers simpler and easier installation for day/night images. Night Vision combines low running costs without the need for extra bolt-on lighting of non-essential areas. The system's ‘green' LED technology provides comparatively low running costs with a power consumption of only 10W. Importantly, Night Vision also addresses the drawbacks in providing night-time illumination for cameras such as domes, where these rotating cameras' required angle of lighting at any one time is not known - requiring potentially expensive, constant and wasteful illumination of the whole scene.

Thermal Dome

Also new this year is CBC's Thermal Dome, a robust compact static ball camera that provides a highly ruggedised thermal imaging solution. The camera sphere is machined from solid aluminum, anodized and powder coated to offer IP67-level protection, with flexible ceiling and wall mounting options.

A 50° lens option allows the camera to provide man detection up to 150m away, day or night and in adverse weather, and operate in a smoke filled room.

Radar & Thermal Vision

CBC will also be demonstrating its new Thermal Vision, which combines thermal imaging technology with the C-AllView camera's optical imaging advantages. Its integrated capabilities include the ability to detect a person at distances up to 1km using a combination of sophisticated thermal imaging and high res images. Thermal imaging also spots intruders in darkness and adverse weather conditions including fog, mist, rain and snow.

CBC will showcase its latest Ganz Systems, Computar lenses and Radar Vision System at IFSEC 2009

Also on-show at IFSEC 09 will be CBC's Radar Vision system, which offers unrivalled detection ability by not only detecting intruders but tracking and verifying them too. It proactively alerts security staff to an intruder's (person or vehicle) presence and automatically tracks their movements in real-time. The system can also track and monitor multiple intruders at the same time. Providing detection up to an 800m radius, the system can be coupled with any Ganz AllView CCTV camera to detect, track and outsmart intruders in all weather or lighting conditions. A Radar Vision system coupled with a C-AllView dual optical/thermal or Night Vision camera can observe people, animals and vehicles without the need for artificial lighting, Working in conjunction with C-AllView cameras, Radar Vision can not only detect the intruders but outsmart them by providing images in fog, mist, rain and snow conditions - true 24/7 detection.
