We have recently started to stock high-performance megapixel network cameras from Lumenera Corp.  This Canadian company develops high-performance cameras, which are ringing in a new era for video monitoring through their remarkable light sensitivity and resolution.

Megapixel and multi-megapixel sensors (progressive scan CMOS or CCD) offer several advantages: a resolution 4-16 times higher than standard CCTV systems and thus needle-sharp images, as well as up to 32 x more image details than recordings made using NTSC/PAL systems!  Over 2,600 resolution lines provide a density of optical information that results in incomparable colour fidelity and sharpness.  This means: better image material/better evidence, improved protection against claims of liability and loss, faster identification and decisions.

All eleven Lumenera megapixel network cameras have motion detection, privacy zones and alarm inputs and outputs.  Additional features include an internal fault analysis system, an integrated image memory for up to 1,000 images, RS-232 and USB interfaces and PTZ control.  Thanks to these features, the LE375C-DN, for example, with its resolution of 3.1 megapixels at 10 fps (2048 x 1536 p) is able to replace several standard CCTV cameras and to monitor traffic situations, border installations or poorly lit business sites.

Features:

• 1, 2 and 3 megapixels for more image detail
• Progressive scan CMOS / CCD technology
• Access through standard browser
• MJPEG compression
• Motion detection, Privacy zones
• Internal image memory (64 MB)
• Superior image quality, Wide dynamic range (up to 72 dB)
