Dallmeier launches new entry-level camera

Dallmeier electronic is expanding its product portfolio with the Picoline. With the entry-level camera, Dallmeier offers a compact and cost-effective solution for applications that require day and night recording with the highest resolution (IR mode). Whether for use in an environment with difficult lighting conditions or where space is limited, the Picoline delivers results.

The Picoline combines high image quality with up to five MP resolution, a wide range of cybersecurity features and AI analytics in a compact surface mount housing. The small form factor enables installation on ceilings or walls in confined spaces and is powered via PoE. As an all-rounder, the entry-level camera is designed for a wide range of applications.

Security is a top priority for the Picoline series. Thanks to the closed Linux operating system Domera OS, users benefit from extensive security functions. Regular external penetration tests, monitoring and maintenance ensure that the software components are always up to date with the latest security standards.

Features in a small form factor

With the optional “Basic AI Object Classification”, the Picoline can detect and classify objects such as people or vehicles – regardless of movements in the background. AI EdgeAnalytics applications, such as “Loitering Detection”, “Intrusion Detection” and “People Counting”, allow users to analyse and evaluate the events that are relevant to them.

The camera series is ONVIF conformant, so users can easily integrate it with Dallmeier client software and other ONVIF conformant VMS systems. Event messages can be sent by email or used to control IoT devices via MQTT and HTTPS.

The cameras are equipped with a High Dynamic Range (HDR) function to optimise the capture of high-contrast scenes with very bright and very dark areas. Each frame is captured with two special settings that are combined in real time to produce a balanced result. The resulting video stream offers significantly more detail in both light and dark areas and is optically very similar to how the human eye perceives them.

Optional edge recording

Want to record two video streams with different settings at the same time? This is possible with EdgeRecording on an integrated SD card of up to 1TB. Triggered by an EdgeAnalytics event, recording allows critical moments to be captured with adjustable lead and lag times. In addition, the video stream can be transferred to a recording system for permanent backup.

The Picoline series offers users a flexible, cost-effective and secure solution for a wide range of surveillance requirements. Like all Dallmeier cameras, the Picoline delivers recordings with excellent contrast, brilliant clarity, maximum detail resolution, and colour fidelity.
