Fusion III security DVR series

Honeywell HCX Megapixel technology - Honeywell's new HCX megapixel cameras offer leading-edge IP technology and savings on installation and equipment costs, providing network surveillance for high resolution object recognition beyond the capability of standard analog cameras. In areas where surveillance is required over a large field of view, one HCX camera is able to perform the same job as several standard analog cameras, with the quality of image facilitating significantly improved forensic analysis.

EQUIP™ series of IP cameras - Adopting the look of Honeywell's successful analog camera line, the EQUIP Series is a family of IP-enabled professional cameras. EQUIP IP cameras capture high quality images at a  rate of 25 frames per second at 4CIF even in low light, resulting in sharper images, while faster video transmission is achieved via MPEG-4 compression, reducing network bandwidth requirements. The range includes day/night body cameras and a vandal resistant mini-dome.

ACUIX™ IP PTZ dome - The crowning model in the EQUIP series provides superior images, faster responses to events and tighter integration with Honeywell DVRs. The ACUIX IP dome features 18X Colour and 18X, 26X and 35X True Day/Night lenses, Wide Dynamic Range for difficult lighting situations and Electronic Image Stabilisation for improved image quality in unstable mounting situations.
