Tyco Illustra Camera Range Deliver HD in Darkness

Essentials_Gen4_1500x800-1024x546
October 28, 2020

The Tyco Illustra Essentials IP camera range includes the fourth generation Essentials mini-dome, varifocal mini-dome, bullet, and varifocal bullet cameras, which supersede their respective older models and are all equipped with built-in adaptive IR illumination, which enables them to capture up to 2MP HD images of objects in total darkness up to a distance of 30 98ft. The NDAA compliant, IP67-rated cameras provide protection against everyday elements such as dust and water and offer enhanced H.265 video compression. To aid ease of setup, all Essentials Gen4 models support one-touch auto-focus, and the varifocal models provide motorized zoom. The four new cameras have true day/night functionality with a removable infrared cut filter, which enables them to operate effectively in low light conditions. They are also able to take advantage of “pixel by pixel” WDR technology to deliver clear images captured from scenes which might contain bright and dark areas, such as the entrances to retail stores. Support for H.264 and H.265 compression formats allows up to three simultaneous video streams to be efficiently transmitted at up to 30 FPS, while a corridor mode provides an efficient and effective method of monitoring narrow areas, such as hallways, shopping aisles and tunnels, and results in lower bandwidth and storage requirements.
