IP SECURITY
Wisenet X’s eXtreme performance
IP cameras for
any lighting
environment
Pelco by Schneider Electric
has launched the Sarix range
of enhanced IP cameras in
fixed bullet, box and dome
configurations.
Designed for demanding
mainstream applications,
products in the Sarix range
feature Pelco’s exclusive
SureVision 3.0 technology that
delivers wide dynamic range
(WDR) performance for the most
challenging lighting environments.
The Sarix IP cameras feature
an enhanced WDR of 130 dB,
advanced low light performance
with full colour down to 0.05 lux,
anti-bloom technology, 3D noise
filtering and enhanced tone
mapping for colour accuracy.
Sarix IP cameras also feature
pre-loaded analytics on every
model, including: abandoned
object, intrusion detection,
camera sabotage, wrong
direction, loitering detection,
object counting, object removal,
and stopped vehicle. The
analytics can be remotely
enabled and configured, and are
compatible with Pelco VMS as
well as third party VMS partners
that support Pelco’s open API.
Additional key features
include: high frame rate
operation of up to 60 fps (or
30 fps with WDR enabled) to
capture fast-moving events
at full resolution; and optional
IR illumination which enables
operation in complete darkness
(0.0 lux) at distances up to 30m
(approximately 100ft).

Hanwha Techwin says its new Wisenet X cameras series is supercharged by the most
power ful chipset ever incorporated into a full camera range. The chipset uses an all-new
architecture to enable faster processing, which the company says means you get the best
video per formance just as you need it.
The new two and five megapixel H.265 Wisenet X cameras feature the latest advances in
video surveillance technology much of which is unique to Hanwha Techwin, to provide practical
real life benefits to users and a competitive edge to the company’s business partners.
Tim Biddulph, head of product and solutions at Hanwa Techwin Europe, said: ‘Wisenet
X cameras have been designed with the user in mind. They are equipped to deliver a
supercharged per formance with twice as fast video processing than you would expect in
high definition cameras, complete with three times more memory to handle enhanced on-
board video and audio analytics.
‘All Wisenet X cameras feature H.265 compression and WiseStream II, a complementary
compression technology which dynamically controls encoding, balancing quality and
compression according to movement in the image. Bandwidth efficiency is improved by up
to 99 per cent compared to current H.264 technology, when WiseStream II is combined with
H.265 compression.’

Mobotix camera system first to support new standard
Mobotix has started production of its new Mx6 6MP camera line with the outdoor dual
cameras M16, D16, S16 and V16.
In terms of their outer appearance, these models look exactly the same as the x15
cameras (which are still available); all the innovations in these new cameras have been
made to the mainboard and camera software.
Mobotix says the Mx6 cameras use a new, more power ful CPU that delivers up to twice
as many images per second – at the same resolution. For example, they deliver up to 34
frames per second in full HD.
The new camera line is not only faster, but also has more capacity for software
applications such as 3D motion analysis and license plate capture in the camera. Regular
software updates ensure that the performance of the intelligent camera system continually
improves. This makes the Mx6 camera system a smart investment, the company says.
Mx6 cameras also offer basic functions in keeping with ONVIF, a global open interface
standard. The next firmware update will achieve complete ONVIF compatibility.
The new Mx6 camera system is far more flexible and higher performing, thanks to RTSP/
Multicast. Multicast enables simultaneous camera access for any number of users without
reducing the frame rate.
