Canon Europa has announced the expansion of its product range with the launch of four new cameras with Full HD resolution. The new VB-H41 cameras, VB-H610VE, VB-H610D y VB-H710F, incorporating Canon's advanced technology in lens design and image processing, will be presented to the public for the first time at the Security Essen fair 2012 (Hall 2.0, stand 540), the main showcase of the latest innovations in international security and fire prevention technologies, which is celebrated from 25 al 28 September in the German city of Essen.

These new cameras have been developed with the experience of more than 70 Canon has been designing and manufacturing lenses for years. All of them incorporate specially designed objectives with several double-sided aspherical elements., to achieve the best optical performance. Besides, allow you to take great advantage of the zoom and wide angle focal lengths, since high refractive index glass has been used in the manufacture of their respective objectives. In addition, Low-light performance is improved by using Canon's original lens coating, reduces ghosting in infrared lighting situations (AND), so that users can be sure that security will be maintained whatever the circumstances..

These four new HD network cameras also provide the high image quality you've always come to expect from Canon., Using the same DIGIC DV III image processors used in the advanced EOS Cine C300 television camera system (‘broadcast’) and Canon XF300/XF305 professional camcorders. Canon's networked DIGIC NET II processor chip enables many HD video input sources, so it is possible to efficiently control those places with multiple visual surveillance points.

Julian Rutland, Director of Visual Communication Products and Solutions at Canon Europe, has stated that “our new range of Full HD network cameras combine, both high quality image processing technology, like Canon's lens design legacy with our network management expertise. “The incorporation of these products is a very important step to continue the growth of our business in the network camera segment.”.

Low light recording

The VB-H41 camera has a 20x optical zoom while the VB-H610VE, VB-H610VE, VB-H610D and VB-H710F feature 3x optical zoom. La VB-H610VE, VB-H610D and VB-H710F have a viewing angle of 112 degrees, allowing operators to enjoy a wide field of view, to achieve maximum coverage. Four new cameras offer best-in-class HD features, even in low light situations, which means they can control even the darkest environments. The VB-H41 is capable of recording in very low light, up to just 0,4 lux in color and 0,2 lux black and white, while the VB-H610VE, VB-H610D and VB-H710F are capable of recording images with good detail with up to just 0,3 lux in color and 0,15 lux black and white. Besides, Canon's Intelligent Shadow Control feature provides visible images in very difficult lighting situations, compensating for dark areas of the image, while maintaining the luminous sections, so that internal areas can be clearly seen and controlled clearly and efficiently, even when the image has been exposed to very bright external lights from windows, For example.

In addition to providing high image quality, Canon is committed to helping system integrators make security maintenance possible through the use of high-performance, easy-to-use analysis systems., that are incorporated in all new equipment. The availability of advanced analysis systems means that system integrators will be able to adjust their cameras to detect sounds, objects that are moved (or abandoned) In a place, areas of movement and camera manipulation. In addition, Walker Detection can be set to detect when a person crosses a certain line across the image in a specific direction. The combination of several lines allows the camera to monitor people passing into a security zone, without detecting when personnel leave said area.

All new cameras save system integrators time and money, since they can be configured remotely by a single operator. In this way, Tasks that took up to an hour can now be completed by a technician in five minutes.

The VB-H610VE and VB-H610D include Canon's PRTZ function, thanks to which a single technician could configure the camera angle, zoom and focus, for easy adjustment for specific tasks or to reconfigure the system, which reduces personnel costs, timing and any other preparations that may be necessary to allow for new system settings. Compatible with most third-party solutions and ONVIF 2.2 y Profile S, The new cameras will be available from December 2012.
