Pixim develops new imaging solution

Pixim has announced the development of an imaging solution custom-tuned for IC Realtime's line of DVRs and NVRs. IC Realtime, located in Florida, USA, has introduced the I-Sniper video security solution.

I-Sniper is based on Pixim's latest image capture chip, but Pixim has implemented the technology to produce algorithms that are in sync with IC Realtime's storage and network streaming devices. When I-Sniper cameras are paired with IC Realtime DVRs or NVRs, the result is 25% to 45% longer recording times and reduced network bandwidth versus non-optimised third-party cameras.

Through Pixim, I-Sniper cameras adjust to highlights and lowlights in the same scene, capturing the entire picture even in the most challenging, mixed lighting conditions. In addition, I-Sniper offers 690 HTVL effective resolution and proven wide dynamic range. The new I-Sniper cameras require just 0,1 lux of illumination to produce usable, colour images at a full 30 frames per second, and as low as 0,001 lux with slow shutter modes enabled.

"Our partnership with Pixim is the first time an image sensor developer and a system manufacturer have worked so closely together to custom design an image capture solution," explains Matt Sailor, CEO of IC Realtime. "I-Sniper will allow our customers to not only capture the best images in all types of challenging lighting, but they will also be able to optimise the use of their DVRs and NVRs—saving money and storage space."
