CARROLLTON,
TEXAS - February 2, 2009 - SAMSUNG | GVI Security today announced a new high
performance 36x Zoom SmartDome camera system that is easy to use and installs
in only ten minutes. The new SCC-C7478 (wall mount) and SCC-C7478C (ceiling
mount) cameras feature a 432x zoom, among the largest in the surveillance industry.
"As the
surveillance market continues to change, becoming more complex, the soft features
of products are becoming increasingly important. With these customer needs in
mind, our goal at GVI was to make this camera the easiest to install and simplest
to use high performance camera on the market today and the forerunner of products
to be introduced in the near future," reports Steve Walin, SAMSUNG | GVI
Security CEO. "That we have done. Not only does it incorporate advanced
features that set new standards for sharpness and high resolution, the 36X System
adapts to the environment into which it is placed flawlessly. Importantly, anyone
can install this camera system anywhere within ten minutes."
Walin adds,
"This camera has already been selected and installed by some of GVI's large
scale projects in Latin America, including the Bogotá, Colombia, city
surveillance project, announced last August. Now, the camera is available for
the North American market as well."
Since the new
36x SmartDome cameras are shipped with the camera already enclosed within the
housing, installers only have to affix the mount to the wall or ceiling, connect
the wires and screw on the housing. The entire procedure takes ten minutes or
less.
The new camera
system features a 36x auto focus optical lens and a 12X zoom, combining to provide
a 432x zoom, among the highest available. It supports various focus modes including
AUTO, MANUAL AND SEMIAUTO. With full auto focus, the system produces crisp,
clear images at all times and with a wide dynamic range of 128x (NTSC) and 160x
(PAL). Contrary to the conventional use of software-based technologies, true
WDR technology generates sharp, clear images that are free of glare and shadow
over a wide range of illumination levels, yielding more usable video than traditional
IP cameras.
To block viewing
of specific areas within a picture, especially important in urban public venues,
eight different privacy zones may be set. Areas can also be monitored on a time
and day schedule.
The new 36x
SmartDome system is the finest weather and vandal resistant camera available
for IP network deployment, featuring a housing that is fully IP66 compliant.
Regardless of its environment, the system performs admirably, resisting rain,
dust and cold. The housing also features an optical grade, polycarbonate transparent
bubble combining optimum optical capabilities with strength and durability.
The robustness of
the camera system is also enhanced with the finest quality motors, belts and
bearings to provide superior lifetime operation. The operating temperature is
-45C to +50C.
The housing
also features a revolutionary fan design optimized not only for cooling, but
for even airflow and ventilation throughout the entire PTZ assembly as well.
Instead of using the customary plastic frame used by most commercial surveillance
cameras, a proprietary aluminum frame supports the assembly, providing superior
panning alignment and greater reliability.
The moving
filter of the new camera system offers true day/night function, identifying
objects even when dark. Dwell time can be set respectively from day to night
and from night to day.
With a low
power consumption of only 2.5amp with heater and blower, the new 36x SmartDome
system provides economical operation, backed by a three-year warranty.
The new SAMSUNG
| GVI Security 36x Optical Zooming SmartDome is available now.
