Arecont Vision has recently announced a new line of compact megapixel IP cameras that will feature MegaFlash technology. The announcement of the MegaFlash camera series was made at the 12th Annual China Public Security Expo Show (CPSE) in that was recently held in Shenzhen, China. The CPSE event is the world’s largest public security expo in the world averaging 1,000 exhibitors and over 55,000 visitors.

With the inclusion of the MegaFlash technology Arecont Vision will provide IP cameras capable of capturing megapixel quality snapshots using a high speed shutter that is synchronized with an external strobe light for license plate recognition or intelligent transportation systems applications. The MegaFlash technology will be included in 1.3, 2, 3 or 5 megapixel formats and is expected to be available in the first quarter of 2010. Be sure to check out the full press release on the Arecont Vision website by following the link included below.

Arecont Vision Press Release Excerpt:

“Megapixel CMOS cameras provide exceptional frame-rate and image clarity benefits for license plate recognition. However, the use of CMOS megapixel camera technology in LPR and ITS applications has been impeded by its inability to synchronize with a flash strobe, due to the lack of global shutter in conventional CMOS sensors. Introduction of sophisticated high-speed shutter in the camera effectively addresses this problem, opening exciting possibilities with new applications in the transportation vertical with LPR and ITS requirements. The new compact MegaFlash™ cameras further expand what is already the broadest megapixel product line in the industry,” said Dr. Michael Kaplinsky, CEO, Arecont Vision.

Arecont Vision recently announced the integration of Arecont megapixel IP cameras by Service Tracking Systems (STS). STS is a provider of various customer service applications. Arecont Vision megapixel IP cameras have been integrated for use in the HDCamPro high-definition camera lane system developed by STS. The application uses Arecont IP cameras to record the condition of vehicles down to every scratch and dent for the purposes of confirming or contradicting damage liability claims. Such an IP camera application requires the utmost clarity in picture resolution. Arecont Vision megapixel IP cameras feature the clarity and resolution needed for this application.

Arecont Press Release Excerpt:

“Our clients have reported a significant improvement in their ability to deny responsibility for pre-existing damage due to the increase in video quality provided by Arecont Vision megapixel cameras,” said Andy Preas, President STS. “We are proud to be able to provide our clients with hundreds of dollars worth of savings each year by reducing the number of damage claims paid out.” The HDCamPro system uses Arecont Vision cameras installed at a customer’s location – typically six cameras per lane. The cameras connect to an IP network that uses CVPS valet parking software from STS running on a Windows platform. A parking attendant can trigger the Arecont Vision cameras to capture megapixel images, which are stored locally in a JPEG format and later copied to a file server.
