Hikvision's PICADIS camera family expanded with new vari-focal models
30 Sep 2013
Hikvision recently introduced two vari-focal models into its PICADIS analog camera family -- the DS-2CE15C2P(N)-VFIR3 720TVL IR Bullet camera and DS-2CE55C2P(N)-VFIR3 720TVL IR Dome camera
While security camera manufacturers continue to seek simple technical functions to meet customers’ needs, the user flexibility for their own cameras offers a larger jump into higher product value. These new models are equipped with a 2.8mm~12mm adjustable lens allowing these models to operate at given focal distances to best suit a particular field of view.
New look for Vari-Focal
Of particular note is the DS-2CE15C2P(N)-VFIR3 IR bullet camera's incorporation of unique product design for focusing and zooming. Compared to traditional vari-focal models (which require users to use a screwdriver for focus and zoom adjustment), the DS-2CE15C2P(N)-VFIR3 is equipped with a detachable “Focus & Zoom Tool” to simplify these cumbersome steps. Users need only remove the cover from the camera and simply plug one end in until the desired zoom and clarity is achieved. It’s this easy! Moreover, the compact size and inconspicuous appearance of the “Focus & Zoom Tool” provides an additional discreet surveillance.
Excellent Image Delivery
The most noteworthy feature of Hikvision 720TVL cameras series is the 1.3MP (1280x960) image sensor incorporated into the cameras. This offers a detailed image quality of real 720TVL resolution. Both the DS-2CE15C2P(N)-VFIR3 and DS-2CE55C2P(N)-VFIR3 camera models also share the majority of features with Hikvision's previously released 720TVL PICADIS models. These features, such as ultra high resolution, High Dynamic Range, Adaptive Local Tone Mapping, and excellent low-light performance, are optimized for imaging performance in varying lighting conditions.
Additionally, these two models are available in both color and true day/night variants. Equipped with enhanced IR LEDs, the two cameras allow up-to 40m of vantage in complete darkness. Smart IR is supported to further address overexposure issues when the object draws closer to the camera.
960H Solution
While Hikvision's 720TVL PICADIS cameras provide a clearer video option, the benefits of 960H technology is most fully realized in conjunction with Hikvision’s excellent line of DVR products. Pairing Hikvision’s WD1 embedded DVRs with the 720TVL analog camera series creates a truly vivid 960H world!

Hikvision recorder transports Cologne based museum into HD future
Hikvision, the world’s leading supplier of innovative
video surveillance products and solutions, supplied digital video
monitoring technology solutions to the Museum for East Asian Art in
Cologne – thus paving the way for entry into the age of HD-TVI. The
museum previously had analogue cameras and an analogue recorder in
place. The image quality of the recordings was poor and rewinding and
fast-forwarding recordings turned out to be complicated. The museum was
looking for a more modern and flexible solution to circumvent these
difficulties. So a hybrid digital video recorder and a new hard disk
drive from Hikvision were installed, providing the museum with a more
cutting-edge video monitoring solution.

Feature article: Thermal technology – visualising without seeing
The science of infra-red detecting has many
applications, not least in the security industry. Where regular cameras
cannot see – for instance in very low light, fog or other bad weather
conditions or smoke-filled areas – thermal technology can provide a
clear image. Combined with regular lenses and smart functions, like
intrusion detection, this technology provides an invaluable addition to
security solutions.
Hikvision is always pushing the boundaries of technology, innovating to meet ever-increasing needs of the security community.
The
products lead the market in three ways. They create better images due
to an independent research and development module on the cameras
themselves. They include better smart functions giving smart analysis
functionalities. Finally, they are suitable for better applications,
including temperature exception and fire detection.
