The CamVu 2000 has been designed to deliver 2-mega pixel image capture - up to six times that of analogue cameras - and offer a wide field of view to maximize coverage.

"Typical applications - where greater image resolution and quality to identify suspects is a pressing requirement - include public space surveillance, the retail environment and, crucially, banks where traditionally they have used disparate 35 mm wet film based cameras to provide detailed individual pictures of a scene in high security areas - now this can be accomplished with CamVu 2000 which seamlessly integrates with the NetVu Connected system" says Pauline Norstrom, worldwide head of marketing, Dedicated Micros.

The CamVu 2000's high resolution - mega pixel - technology is based on the NetVu Connected architecture, supporting seamless communication with other NetVu Connected CCTV elements. This ensures that deep integration is possible with a wide range of DVRs and devices, as well as supporting simplified integration into larger scale systems.

Specialised ChipWrights Visual Signal Processing (ViSP) technology, incorporated into the new CamVu 2000, allows it to readily transmit simultaneous MPEG-4 and JPEG images to be recorded on an associated NetVu Connected DVR for image capture. This flexibility enables users to record high quality images for evidential purposes whilst watching streamed video at the same time. In addition an integrated pre-alarm feature within the CamVu 2000 - recording via internal memory or expandable via SD Card - ensures that critical pre-event movement can be captured.

The CamVu 2000 camera can be fitted both indoors and outdoors (via external camera housing). Site adjustment and set-up for the CamVu 2000 has been designed to be as flexible as possible with web configuration pages enabling installers to adjust the camera's features over the network without the need to return to the site.
