Hikvision launches Turbo HD 4.0 camera with PIR
Hikvision, the world’s leading supplier of innovative video surveillance products and solutions, has launched a new addition to its Turbo 4.0 analogue range with PIR technology to give it even more accurate detection.
The PIR (Passive Infra-Red) sensor, which has a detection range of 11 metres, senses movement in an area. It has been added to four models (DS-2CExxD8T-PIR(L) series), so it’s available in three form factors – bullet, dome and cube.
The sensor can filter out false alarms by differentiating between the infrared emissions of a human being from the other ‘noise’. So, when an inanimate object moves, there’s no alarm, but when it senses human body movement, an alarm is triggered. Filtering out false alarms saves on storage space and also means more efficient searching post-event, as there are fewer alarms to look through.
The cameras are also equipped with ultra low-light technology, so they can produce clear, high quality images even in low-light scenarios – down to 0.005 lux.
These cameras are really useful in applications where cost is a relevant factor, like for private residences and outside smaller retail outlets.
Peter Guan, Channel and Marketing Director at Hikvision EU, said: “We are pleased to extend our Turbo 4.0 range even further to meet more customer needs. This technology comes into its own in perimeter protection, on fire doors in buildings and dynamic fire detection. Applications include those areas with large areas to monitor, like airports, harbours, borders, industry and shopping centres.”
