Vicon Surveyor VFT Domes Now Available With New Advanced Features

The Surveyor VFT dome camera range, the preferred choice of professional installers for over a decade, now offers a number of new features and performance enhancements. The range includes models with 22x, 23x and 35x zoom in standard indoor, outdoor, impact-resistant and pressurized housings.Increased Resolution - The 23x and 35x zoom models offer 540 TV lines of resolution (previously 480 TV lines), to deliver superb quality colour images with increased sharpness and detail.Progressive Scan is incorporated into these models and provides images which are crisper and far more stable than interlaced video. The difference is particu­larly noticeable when viewing moving images.Digital Noise Reduction (DNR) is now offered on both the 23x dome cameras and the 35x versions. Digital Noise Reduction improves picture quality in low light environ­ments by digitally sampling the video image and removing excessive noise which interferes with image clarity. In addition to DNR, the cameras also offer increased sensitivity, further improving performance in low­light conditions.Enhanced Autofocus - All the dome cameras in the Surveyor VFT range, now maintain correct focus without any manual adjustments.On-Screen Status Indicators - The SVFT-PRS pressurized camera dome now has on-screen status indicators. Temperature, humidity and pressure value indications displayed on-screen make it effortless to perform on-going diagnostics of the camera's performance.For full information on the increased functionality of the Surveyor VFT dome cameras, please contact your Vicon Account Manager or visit Vicon's website at www.vicon-cctv.com.

Major Performance Upgrade For Vicon Dome Cameras
Major Performance Upgrade For Vicon Dome Cameras

Vicon will be adding yet more performance and functionality to its fixed-dome ranges during 2010. This will mean enhancements of the V910, V926, VC-600, VC-700 and SurveyorVFT fixed dome models. With the exception of WDR models, all of the domes will benefit from a new camera module that delivers dramatically improved image quality as well as offering additional features. These include Dynamic Range to improve the details in bright and low light areas of an image and Digital Noise Reduction which improves image quality in low light environments and provides a better compression ratio to reduce video storage requirements. The new Day/Night camera module, which has a privacy masking feature and an on-screen menu, can capture superb quality colour images at 560TVL even when lighting levels may be as low as 0.3 Lux and equally high quality monochrome images in night time conditions at 0.01 Lux. New WDR models will be using an improved version of the Pixim camera module to provide enhanced dynamic range by making use of the patented industry-leading Digital Pixel System®technology which provides pixel-by-pixel analysis and processing. Key improvements offered by the new WDR models are a correction for colour roll when capturing video under fluorescent lighting and an optional high-resolution mode which is controlled through the menu system. "This performance upgrade of what has been a very successful product line for us, demonstrates Vicon's commitment to an ongoing R&D programme and a determination to provide our customers with a competitive edge by equipping them with leading edge CCTV and video management solutions," said Richard Allen-Miles, Vicon's Sales Director for the UK and Ireland.
