Vicon’s 35x SurveyorVFT domes, which have been a highly popular choice among installers and system integrators since they were first introduced in 2004, have been upgraded to deliver even higher quality video.
All 35x SurveyorVFT domes, including standard indoor and outdoor, impact-resistant and pressurised housing versions, now utilise Progressive Scan technology which offers a higher quality video image than interlaced video with better vertical resolution and no visible flicker. Two modes are offered, “normal” for average to high-motion video and “high sensitive,” for low-motion video.
Additional new features include Digital Noise Reduction to improve picture quality in low light environments by digitally sampling the video image and removing excessive noise that interferes with image clarity. When adjusting for white balance within the camera’s set-up menu, there is a new Special Mode which allows for further adjustment based on the lighting source. As fluorescent and conventional lighting affect video differently, this special mode allows the users to capture video with the most visually pleasing white balance.
In addition to manual focus, the new cameras offer two auto-focus settings. Fast auto-focus is preferable under most conditions but a slow auto-focus option is offered to better accommodate high-motion video.
Vicon’s SurveyorVFT camera domes continue to offer four on-board transmission options i.e. IP/network, fibre and twisted pair as well as conventional coaxial cable providing real flexibility when designing a CCTV system design using domes. The TCP/IP network module offers direct-to-network, high quality digital video for recording and viewing on any ViconNet workstation or Kollector recording platform.
