Simon Davies, Internal Sales Manager for Pro-Vision told us, “The SNF-7010 is a 360 degree 3 megapixel high definition camera that allows users to select from a number of display options including fisheye, single and double panorama, quad and rectangle. 360 degree cameras are increasingly being specified for projects where there is a need to monitor activity 24/7. They offer the advantage of efficiently and cost effectively covering an area where a larger number of standard cameras might normally be required to avoid any blind spots. And with no moving parts, savings can also be made on maintenance costs.”

Simon continued, “The dome, which features a digital PTZ, utilises progressive scan technology to deliver sharp edges on moving subjects and vehicles. It supports up to six streams of video, using either H.264 or MJPEG compression formats, to simultaneously transmit images to multiple locations at various frame rates. A built-in memory slot provides the opportunity to remotely access and download video which has been recorded onto a suitable memory card. Other features include four polygonal motion detection zones, privacy masking, tamper alert and bi-directional audio. When combined with on-board video analytics, the built-in microphone has an audio detection capability. Plus the vandal-resistant version should be with us very early next year.”
