IFSEC 2013 is upon us!

And one of our Site Sponsors, 360 Vision Technology, have given us a sneak preview of what they are up to up at the NEC this year!

Making it’s official pre-launch debut is the exciting new HD PREDATOR !

We heard from the 360 guys and here is the outline spec:-

  • 1080p 2MP Sony colour/mono AutoFocus camera
  • 30x Zoom (Brand New module, not the commonly used 20x Sony unit)
  • ONVIF 2.2 Profile ‘S’ IP Compatible

we spoke with Mark Rees and asked what is the expected compatibility – he told us that right now, anything that is Profile ‘S’ on the ONVIF 2.2 platform will control and operate the Predator’s PTZ functions - including their patent pending White Light/IR LEDs and Wiper functions! Mark said this was a game changing product in that no other ruggedised PTZ camera was available with the range of functions, on a hugely compatible IP Platform and with HD 1080p resolution too !

Also launching their ‘Any Colour, Any Quantity’ message, 360 Vision really do have a great choice of products for the ever increasing world of IP !

We have been promised a review the HD Predator right after IFSEC where we can report more on the quality of that great looking new Sony 30x HD camera!

It has long been known that the HDcctv standard has been developed in order to ensure interoperability between compatible HD SDI equipment but what happens if you test non compliant equipment together? We set out to prove if it mattered or not. The devices we tested were as follows.

So the debate goes on. Is CCTV out of control is a question asked in the recent security briefing from IFSEC. References to government legislation that seem to be pointing to far greater control over CCTV in public places is a highly contentious issue. We already have the data protection act and this has served us well over a number of years. Do we really need more… Continue reading
