Verifying identity is essential

1 July 2013 Information Security

The new GCI-H0812W flat dome is the latest addition to Grundig’s IP camera range. It offers installers a cost-effective, high quality IP camera solution in a discrete, low-profile indoor housing measuring just 117 mm in diameter and 50 mm tall. The flat dome has Power over Ethernet (PoE IEEE 802.3af), so no separate power supply is required, keeping installation simple. It is designed to suit many different indoor applications, including retail, commercial, industrial units, offices, banks, education, hotels, leisure and residential.

The GCI-H0812W uses a 2-megapixel CMOS sensor and progressive scan technology to produce high quality, quad video streams in H.264 and MJPEG compression modes. Installers can select 720p resolution at 25 frames per second (FPS) or 1080p at 13 FPS. Andreas Franusic, product manager at Grundig, explains, “Quad video stream technology enables efficient video transmission and storage, while saving network bandwidth. The 2 MP stream is ideal for NVR recording and the lower resolution D1 or CIF video streams are optimised for monitor displays, PCs, tablets and smartphone viewing.”

The GCI-H0812W comes with a 4 mm lens, giving a 78° viewing angle, but has the option of a 2,8 mm lens with a 100° viewing angle. It also has a micro SD/SDHC memory card slot for alarm and scheduled image recording.
