IDIS releases latest-generation 6 MP and 8 MP PTZ cameras

Issue 4 2022 Surveillance

IDIS has launched four new 8 MP and 6 MP PTZ cameras that deliver excellent image quality and extend the company’s trusted NDAA-compliant lineup.

The new choice of outdoor-ready and vandal-resistant 8 MP and 6 MP models combine infrared (IR) technology with powerful 31x optical zoom, autofocus lenses and 30 frames per second to provide broad coverage, even in low-light settings.

Designed for wide-area surveillance operations, the new models give users the ability to quickly verify security events, with the capability to clearly identify objects and recognise faces at distances of up to 300 m for forensic purposes. Two-way audio also provides operators with the ability to pre-configure alerts or issue verbal warnings. This makes them ideal for town and city surveillance, road junctions, parking areas, perimeter security, and open areas within shopping malls, sports facilities, hotels, logistics firms and warehouses.

The cameras boast features including IDIS Smart Failover to ensure uninterrupted coverage, built-in heaters, IDIS Intelligent Codec to deliver bandwidth and storage savings, true WDR and electronic image stabilisation to minimise the impact of vibration and shaking.

They also come equipped with motion detection, tampering alarms and a range of smart PTZ features that can move between pre-set positions and zoom in automatically in response to detected objects or events.

Overcoming the challenges of jerky PTZ functionality, operators can also take advantage of the IDIS Smart UX Controls, allowing them to smoothly and seamlessly follow moving objects in real time with accuracy by panning at different speeds and in different directions, literally without lifting a finger. Patented and intuitive features include ‘Rubberband’ and ‘Slingshot’ using joysticks, as well as keyboard and mouse ‘Quick Controls’ to significantly speed up and simplify operation.

Like all IDIS network cameras, the new PTZs also benefit from simple plug-and-play connectivity with IDIS DirectIP NVRs, which saves time and money during installation and maintenance, and come backed by extended warranties. Users can choose the cost-free IDIS Center or the modular, enterprise-class IDIS Solution Suite video management software (VMS) that comes without ongoing licence fees, which all combine to deliver on the IDIS promise of a low total cost of ownership.

“These newest additions to our lineup offer powerful and advanced camera choices designed to meet a broader range of applications, including wide-area surveillance and mission-critical perimeter detection,” says Dennis Choi, general manager, IDIS Middle East and Africa. “Because they are NDAA-compliant, they are the ideal choice for organisations looking to comply with the highest standards and give users the assurance of South Korean supply chain integrity.”
