At the show, Avigilon hosted an event to present the company's latest innovation in camera surveillance technology, and to explain the philosophy behind the 7K concept.    

So what does 7K mean? That is 7,000 horizontal pixels with 30 million total pixels or 30 MP aimed at offering best-in-class image quality.

“The idea is to get all the evidence and detail you need in one image,” said Avigilon’s Director of Global Product Marketing Willem Ryan. “This enables our end users to make quick decisions and capture footage that is immediately actionable.”

Dr. Mahesh Saptharishi, Avigilon’s Chief Technology Officer, added that the 7K HD Pro cameras are designed with the 35mm full-frame sensor that is often found in professional DSLR cameras.

“You get amazing low light performance at 30 MP with amazing forensic detail. You won’t be able to tell the difference between images taken with the 7K and those taken by a professional DSLR camera.”

Ahead of Ifsec 2015, the Avigilon team captured images of some of London’s most iconic landmarks.  For example, when you view the image of Trafalgar Square, captured by the 7K HD Pro camera, with the Avigilon Control Center software, you are able to digitally zoom in to get details such as street names or the destination on the bus. The 7K HD Pro provides wide area coverage yet still maintains situational awareness.

At the presentation Avigilon provided a live demonstration of the 7K HD Pro camera, demonstrating one of the company’s newest models set-up outside the London Excel Centre and proving that the camera could show quality images even when zoomed-in and all with great clarity.

“That’s the power of high definition; it offers complete coverage of vast areas along wth the high detail that can be used as evidence. That is the 7K HD Pro,” explained Ryan the presenter.
