Vivotek FD8133 H.264 Dome Network IP Camera

New to Vivotek’s dome network IP camera line-up is the FD8133. This new dome security camera offers high quality 1 megapixel video with bandwidth optimized h.264 video compression. This allows the FD8133 to offer resolutions up to 1280 x 800 with frame rates up to 30 fps. The camera also supports an onboard MicroSD card slot for onboard recording of video and saving of snapshots.

The Vivotek FD8133 also supports tamper detection which can send alerts when events occur such as camera blockage, redirecting, defocusing and spray-painting. This allows the camera to be an ideal solution for locations where vandals may tamper with the camera in high traffic areas.

The FD8133 also supports ONVIF, the new standard for interoperability.

The FD8133 will be available soon for purchase at Network Camera Store.

For more information on the FD8133, visit www.networkcamerastore.com or call (877) 638-2260.

Axis Communications has recently announced two new IP camera devices that are the first full featured network cameras to include Thermal Imaging. Thermal imaging will allow for persons and objects to be detected with great reliability in complete darkness and in environments that may include smoke, haze, dust or light fog. Thermal imaging has existed with specific analog surveillance cameras for some time but these products have always been geared towards high-end installations with a higher price point then most people are willing to accept.

The Axis Q1910 and Axis Q1910-E are the first full featured network camera devices to include thermal imaging. Both the Axis Q1910 and Axis Q1910-E have the capability of producing images based on heat that will radiate from objects, vehicles or persons. This will provide users with added viewing capabilities in environments that are in complete darkness and in environments that may hold harsh weather conditions.

Axis Communications Press Release Excerpt:
”Today’s launch provides our customers with cost-efficient, easy-to-install thermal network cameras for professional installations and will promote safety and security in critical areas such as public places, industries, railways, ports and roads. We see a great potential for these new cameras and we are proud to be able to broaden our portfolio and thereby contribute to strengthening our customers’ security systems”, says Ray Mauritsson, President, Axis Communications.
