The two domes and box camera in the new 960H series are equipped with Samsung Techwin’s advanced wide dynamic range feature which compensates for backlight 128 times more effectively than standard WDR. This together with Samsung super dynamic range (SSDR), which automatically adjusts dark areas of an image and Samsung super noise reduction (SSNRIII), ensures high quality images can be obtained in a wide range of challenging environments including when the light may be as low as 0.1 lux. The new models also utilise progressive scan to optimise the high quality video capture of moving objects, making it possible, for example, to read car number plates without a motion blur effect.

A single push of a button located at the back of the camera is all that is needed to automatically focus the camera via the simple focus feature which can also be remotely accessed via a coaxial control enabled DVR. An additional operational benefit is that simple focus automatically optimises the back-focus required for clear, sharp images when the camera’s true day and night function changes from colour to monochrome mode.

Although extremely competitively priced, the models in the 960H series include Intelligent video analytics
which can assist people counting or the detection of activity by various means, such as tripwire and enter/exit direction, object appear/disappear and ‘tampering’, which creates an alert if paint is sprayed on a camera lens or there is unauthorised movement of a camera away from its usual field of view.

As you would expect, the three new models are all fully compatible with Samsung Techwin’s series of 960H DVRs which, according to the company, when introduced in March 2013 set a new standard in digital video recording enabling users to achieve an immediate improvement in the resolution of the live or recorded images that can be displayed on a high definition monitor.
