Point Grey, a world-leading Canadian designer and manufacturer of innovative, high-performance digital cameras, recently announced the release of the all new Cricket IP security camera family.

The Cricket IP camera packs exceptional imaging quality and rich IP surveillance features into a low cost, PoE-enabled network camera. The first two available Cricket models offer 720p and 1080p resolutions at 60 fps, using Sony Exmor CMOS sensors suitable for challenging low-light conditions and dynamic scenes. The Cricket camera employs Sony's Xarina IP camera platform, which integrates Sony's superior image signal processing and video encoding capabilities to provide multi-image wide dynamic range (WDR) functionality, 2D and 3D noise reduction, H.264 and MJPEG compression, multi-streaming, and ONVIF compatibility. Both models are compatible with 1/3" manual iris or DC auto iris lenses, sold separately.

"The Cricket camera offers excellent image quality, low light performance, and wide dynamic range capability comparable to more expensive security and surveillance cameras in the industry" says Michael Gibbons, Director of Sales and Marketing at Point Grey. "We have taken our 15 years of experience working with the most sophisticated digital camera technology in the world and created a low-cost, compact and easy-to-use IP camera that delivers superior imaging performance without the unnecessary gimmicks."
