New 6 MP IR fisheye camera

Hikvision has revealed its 6 MP IR Fisheye network camera. This 6 MP IR Fisheye features a 1/1.8-inch progressive scan CMOS sensor to provide high-resolution images of up to 3072 x 2048 at 30 frames-per-second, and a 1.19 mm fisheye lens for a 360° panoramic view.

A 3 MP model of the WDR Fisheye network camera is also available. This 3 MP model features a 1/3-inch progressive scan CMOS sensor, 120 dB WDR (wide dynamic range) and streams video of up-to 1536 x 1536 resolution at 30 fps.

A single 6 MP/3 MP IR Fisheye network camera does the work of multiple cameras in both indoor and outdoor surveillance environments. Hikvision’s fisheye is designed to capture images from every corner of a particular location and eliminate blind spots with only a single camera. Both models are equipped with IR functionality, offering up-to 15 m IR distance of visibility under low or even zero-light conditions. Furthermore, a state-of-the-art housing unit and IP66 rating protect the camera against outdoor elements like rain and dust, and allows it to confidently withstand temperatures ranging from -30°C to 60°C.

The 6 MP/3 MP IR Fisheye camera supports several viewing modes, including the aforementioned 360° overview (in 6 MP resolution and 3 MP resolution, respectively), a horizontal panoramic view, PTZ quad window, and PTZ multi-window modes. Customers can also use this smooth PTZ functionality to easily zoom, and focus on any region of interest (ROI).

MJPEG and H.264 video compression formats are supported. Additionally, these cameras feature multiple H.264 compression profiles, allowing users to optimise bandwidth and storage without compromising image quality. Furthermore, supporting ONVIF, PSIA, and CGI standards, both Fisheye models offer the ability to easily integrate with other video surveillance equipment and systems.

Other features include a built-in micro SD/SDXC slot (with a total capacity of up-to 64 GB), a DI/DO interface to connect to alarm devices for further security control purposes, and an inbuilt high-quality audio intercom that allows two-way communication.

To further benefit the users, Hikvision has launched a fisheye camera and IP PTZ dome camera combination that provides a panoramic 360° surround view while offering the capability for a detailed regional view from the speed dome.
