Arecont Vision Introduces AV3135 Dual Sensor H.264 Day/Night Camera
MegaVideo® Image Processing and H.264
Compression Save Bandwidth and Provide Superior Low-Light Performance
ANAHEIM, Calif. --(Business Wire)-- Sep 21, 2009
Arecont Vision, the industry leader in IP-based megapixel camera
technology, is debuting its Dual Sensor AV3135 Day/Night camera at ASIS
2009, combining high-resolution megapixel images with unparalleled
low-light sensitivity compared to conventional day/night surveillance
cameras. The camera features Arecont Vision's H.264 compression
technology providing full frame rates at full resolution as well as
multi-streaming capabilities to allow transmission of several H.264
video streams at various video formats, frame rates and/or resolutions.
“Our new dual sensor day/night H.264 megapixel camera solution is the
first of its kind using H.264 encoding for varying sensor formats within
the same camera. In addition to advantages in bandwidth and storage
efficiency, the technology provides far greater sensitivity compared to
single sensor day/night solutions,” said Dr. Michael Kaplinsky, CEO,
Arecont Vision.
The Arecont Vision AV3135 has two 1/2” CMOS sensors – a 3 megapixel
color image sensor and a separate 1.3 megapixel black and white sensor –
to ensure the highest image quality and best sensitivity regardless of
light levels. The individual pixels on the black and white sensor are
larger to provide higher sensitivity in low light. The black-and-white
sensor is also infrared sensitive, making the AV3135 ideal for extreme
dark conditions.
Incorporating proprietary MegaVideo® image processing and
using Arecont Vision's fully compliant implementation of H.264
compression, the megapixel day/night camera uses up to 10 times less
bandwidth and storage compared to cameras using only MJPEG compression.
Additionally, the Arecont Vision AV3135 Dual Sensor Day/Night camera has
no moving mechanical parts and is complemented by state-of-the-art
surveillance software, the AV100, capable of live image acquisition and
display from multiple cameras. Users can zoom-in live or after an event
while recording the full field-of-view in high definition, replacing
pan-tilt-zoom (PTZ) devices. Up to four virtual cameras can be streamed
by selecting regions of interest within an image and acquiring them
independently. Switching between the 3 megapixel day sensor to the night
sensor with 1.3 megapixels is automatic and may also be manually toggled.
