Avigilon Adds Day/Night Performance to its High Definition Cameras
New high definition IP color day/night cameras deliver superior low-light performance and sensitivity to infrared illuminationVANCOUVER, BC - August 18, 2008 - Avigilon has added an automatic infrared (IR) filter
technology to its line of performance leading high definition (HD) IP color day/night cameras to
deliver superior low-light performance and sensitivity to infrared illumination. The new cameras
incorporate IR filters that are automatically calibrated based on light conditions making the
cameras ideal for day or night surveillance as well as infrared illumination. Delivering on its
promise to develop cost-effective HD surveillance solutions, this new performance feature will be
delivered at no additional cost, and has been added as a standard feature to the entire HD model
line. The new models also deliver the ability to manually override the day/night operation, which
allows a default to full time color operation.
"Responding to market demand for the addition of monochrome, low light sensitivity
functionality to our performance leading HD cameras, Avigilon has begun delivering day/night
performance, across our entire line of HD cameras. We have added this feature while holding true
to our intent to enable the accelerated adoption of higher value megapixel IP cameras," said Dave
Tynan, vice-president of global sales, at Avigilon.
About Avigilon's HD IP Cameras
Avigilon's four HD IP cameras are available in one megapixel (720p), two megapixels (1080p),
three megapixels, and five megapixels and can automatically adjust iris and exposure to capture
high quality detailed images making it possible to reduce the total number of cameras required.
With built in support for High Definition Stream Management (HDSM), Avigilon's four new
cameras are able to leverage Avigilon Control Center's Progressive Lossless Compression to
deliver the lowest bandwidth and longest record times of any high definition surveillance cameras
while preserving image quality. The new HD IP cameras also offer Power-over-Ethernet (PoE) to
reduce installation costs and Alarm Input and Outputs to easily integrate into current alarm
systems for further performance and cost gains.
