Lucid Vision will expand its Power over Ethernet (PoE) camera range with Phoenix models that feature 0.4 MP Sony Pregius IMX287 and the 1.6 MP IMX273 global shutter complementary metal–oxide–semiconductor sensors, running at 291 fps and 77 fps, respectively. The company says that the Phoenix camera has a transformable design that can be configured to meet a range of original equipment manufacturer applications. The board layout can be tri-folded into a stacked camera which can also be unfolded into a 10

AMG Systems has launched 90W Power over Ethernet (PoE) switches aimed at assisting demanding video surveillance applications. PoE is intended to allow power and data to pass over twisted pair Ethernet cabling. The company says that Ethernet cables help to remove the costs associated with hiring electrical installers and allow powered devices to be deployed at almost any location with an Ethernet presentation. The low voltage, according to AMG, helps to lower the risk of electrical hazards. The company’s

UK-based Redvision has launched its rugged camera housing for tough, hazardous or corrosive, outdoor surveillance applications. It will house fixed camera and lens combinations and is said to provide protection from dirt, moisture and ingress. Called Redvision Vega 2010, the cable-managed device includes a Chat interface board for power, audio, washer and wiper control, using the Pelco telemetry protocol. Wiper and washer intervals can be automated using dip-switches on the Chat board when telemetry

Vricon has launched its Precision 3D Registration (P3DR) software suite which, the company says, georegisters imagery automatically anywhere in the world. It works with Vricon’s Globe in 3D brand, a source of geospatial and digital elevation data used by defence and intelligence agencies. The company says that P3DR provides critical accuracy enhancements to other intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance sources, allowing geospatial intelligence data to be used to direct resources. The solution aims to

Navtech Radar has launched a sensor to complement its ClearWay solution and provide automatic incident detection (AID) coverage in highways and tunnels for 175m in both directions. Phil Avery, the company’s managing director, claims that the solution is ideal for applications where line-of-sight is limited. Called CTS175, the solution features Clearview’s AID solution and can be used for traffic applications, including roads, tunnels and bridges.

Sony Europe Imaging Sensing Solutions has launched its industrial vision global shutter complementary metal oxide semiconductor (GS CMOS) module to use the USB3.0 transmission standard. Called XCU-CG160, the solution has a 1.6MP resolution and is said to transmit data at 100 frames per second.

BriefCam has launched its V5 video content analytics platform to help enterprises and law enforcement agencies generate visual evidence. The product combines computer vision and artificial intelligence technologies to help users pinpoint objects of interest. The company says that V5 brings new capabilities across all three of the system’s integrated modules to help make video searchable and actionable. V5 includes semantic detection for increased object extraction quality and a video search function with

Redvision has launched a combined thermal and Internet Protocol (IP) rugged pan, tilt and zoom (PTZ) camera for tough, hazardous and corrosive outdoor environments. Called Volant Duo, the device comes with a dual-adaptive infra-red and white light Light-emitting diode illuminator option to provide lighting for its Starvis sensor up to 150m in darkness. Stephen Lightfoot, technical director at Redvision, said: “The Volant Duo offers both thermal and IP sensors in the same rugged, PTZ camera body. The
