Since the introduction of the digital communicator in 1978, our industry has spent thousands of costly man-hours programming (and often reprogramming) communicators, sensors and other devices. In the old days we had to program PROM chips using a vendor-specific “burner.” Today we still have to program many devices using either a keypad or a PC. Technicians performing these tasks need extensive knowledge of the device and the programming options to ensure the device or system functions properly and to avoid expensive callbacks.

 Tyco Security Products, Boca Raton, Fla., part of Tyco, the world’s largest pure-play fire protection and security company, will showcase a new slate of innovative technology introductions at the upcoming ASIS International 60^th Annual Seminar and Exhibits, Sept. 29 to Oct. 1.  

Another trend in the lighting space is to maintain a low-noise color image in low light rather than switching to black-and-white or changing to an IR illuminator setting. One way this is made possible is with better sensors, specifically larger sensors with more pixels.

With intelligent Dynamic Noise Reduction, the camera selects only what is deemed necessary and blocks outside noise, saving bandwidth.

For convenient installation, all OpenEye IP cameras are detected automatically by current model OpenEye recorders and are ONVIF compliant, allowing integration with many other IP recording solutions on the market.

The cameras include dual H.264 (MPEG-4 Part 10) and MJPEG encoders, privacy masking, extended motion detection with 1,024 zones per channel, and pixel binning for increased sensitivity in low light applications.

It is also vandal-resistant with an IK10 rating, and it has sensor in/out capabilities that allow it to integrate easily with other security systems such as alarms or infrared devices.
