Canon extends ultra-compact range

August 2014 Products & Solutions

Canon Europe has added two new ultra-compact 1.3 MP resolution network cameras – the VB-S805D and VB-S905F – to its product range. The new cameras form part of the recently launched S series and feature Canon’s distinctive advanced lens technology as well as dual image and network processors.

The VB-S805D and VB-S905F offer high-quality monitoring with detailed images and six intelligent analytic functions, offering great value for money. The in-built analytics offer detection of movement, abandoned objects, removed objects, camera tampering, passing and volume detection. These new models are suitable for surveillance in a variety of indoor environments, including small retail outlets, education and hospitality sectors.

The inclusion of dual processors DIGIC DV III and DIGIC NET II means each step of the imaging process – capturing, processing encoding and transmitting – is performed seamlessly. Additional benefits include enabling outstanding low light performance, even in difficult lighting conditions, to offer a true day/night solution.

The ashperical lens elements and high refractive index lenses of the VB-S805D and VB-S905F are used to create an extremely compact lens unit. In both models, the lenses offer a wide angle of view and low distortion, while more light is delivered to the camera’s sensor. The result is brighter and better defined images.

The cameras have been designed with minimal dead space due to a reduction in the size of the circuit boards and the number of components used. The lightweight cameras therefore make installation far easier for end-users. The arrangement of the components also reduces the load on the cables that operate the camera, helping to ensure durability.
