Samsung's new range of WDR 4CIF network cameras

Samsung Techwin has introduced a new range of high-speed network cameras, designed to offer an unbeatable solution in schools, hospitals, workshops, factories, warehouses and retail stores, as well as in other environments where high-performance PoE functionality is required.

Samsung Techwin has launched the new range of WDR 4CIF network cameras, designed to offer an alternative option to megapixel cameras at competitive prices in those video surveillance projects that require high quality images. Schools, hospitals, workshops, factories, Warehouses and retail stores are some examples of environments that could benefit from the new 4CIF range, a range that includes the classic SNB-3002 camera, SND-3082 dome camera, the SND-3082F recessed dome camera and the SNV-3082 vandal-resistant dome camera.

Peter Ainsworth, Senior Product Director for Samsung Techwin Europe, has pointed out that “Customer expectations today are very high in terms of image quality, in relation to the quality they expect their security cameras to be able to capture. Nevertheless, It might seem unnecessary for the vast majority of applications to incur the cost of installing megapixel resolution cameras when there are cameras like our new 4CIF resolution cameras that, if installed correctly, They are more than capable of generating images of exceptional quality. In addition to the economic savings, which could be notable in large projects where a high number of cameras is needed, 4CIF cameras are, also, much more suitable for the available bandwidth than megapixel cameras when images need to be viewed over the network”.

PoE functionality (power over ethernet) of the 4CIF camera range can reduce installation costs by offering both power, sound and image transmissions over a single Ethernet cable. The range also offers multiple playbacks, with a variety of MJPEG compression methods, MPEG-4 and H.264 and, besides, allows simultaneous transmission of images in multiple locations and at different frame rates of up to 25 fps and at different resolutions. So, Multiple authorized users can monitor live footage from one location while still recording video evidence from another. Simultaneously, Images can be recorded on an internal SD memory card and incident notifications sent by email to a smartphone.

High lighting contrast

The new models in the 4CIF network camera range incorporate Samsung's A1 DSP chipset and are capable of taking full advantage of Wide Dynamic Range technology. (WDR), which makes them the ideal solution for those points where high contrast lighting conditions may exist.. They also incorporate progressive scanning technology, which optimizes the recording of high-quality videos of moving objects, what makes possible, For example, that car license plates can be read without blurring the image due to movement.

The four models incorporate the day/night function with a mechanical IR filter and a CCD image sensor that allows recording high-quality, color images when lighting conditions are low. 0,001 Lux with Sens-up technology and black and white images at 0,0001 Lux con Sens-up.

Tamper alarm

Samsung's 4CIF cameras, in addition to standard motion detection, They also have a scene change tamper detection function that generates an alarm if, For example, paint is sprayed on a camera lens or unauthorized movement of the camera takes place beyond its normal field of view. Two-way audio feature offers effective two-way communication.

Thanks to the 12 polygonal privacy zones windows in residential areas, For example, can't be seen, while DIS technology (digital image stabilization) can correct the results of an unstable camera due to the effect of wind or vibrations in buildings.

Like all Samsung professional security products, The WDR 4CIF range of network cameras is offered with full support services from Samsung Techwin Europe Ltd., as free system design, Free technical support and full three-year warranty.
