SmartCam digital security cameras are the next generation in image quality, features and economy for professional video surveillance and security. SmartCam is a high resolution, low light, color video camera and high precision pan-tilt mount, with DVD quality video and audio. SmartCam connects via a high s peed Ethernet network, with standard Internet protocols. Multiple SmartCams connect to a low cost network switch in the Evolution System. They can be located up to 1000 feet / 330 meters from the switch on standard Cat5 network cable. A single Ethernet cable transmits and receives compressed, encrypted video and camera control.

More SmartCams can be easily added to an existing Evolution system; even conventional analog cameras can be added using the SmartCoder.

The embedded MPEG2 encoder produces DVD quality, real time, full motion video at data rates from 2.2 to 12 mbps.

SmartCam image quality is far higher than conventional analog and motion JPEG systems available to security staff. MPEG2 is the most efficient storage format for high quality video and audio, as used in DVD. SmartCam includes an optional hard disk drive for video storage inside the camera in case of damage or destruction of the SmartServer hard disk video recorder (like as a cockpit/passenger cabin recorder-ground relay).

High quality directional microphone allows for recording sound with the video.

These SmartCam products are available:

SmartCam-F: Fixed position, non motorized camera with zoom control only. This camera can be positioned manually.

SmartCam-PTZ: Pan-tilt-zoom, software controlled motorized camera.

SmartCam-PTZIO: Pan-tilt-zoom, software controlled motorized camera with analog and digital inputs and outputs. These IO connections support motion sensors, smoke/heat/fire detectors, access control systems, burglar alarm systems and other devices.

Evolution SmartCam is a high quality, ultra precision pan-tilt-zoom, professional video - the next generation in image quality with an embedded MPEG2 encoder and network connectivity.

Many housing options are available including 6”, 8” and 12” indoor domes and a pressurized outdoor housing. An infra-red night camera is also available.
