August 10, 2007 — CoVi Technologies, the high-definition video surveillance company, recently introduced the CVQ-3100 dome security camera in CoVi’s MultiStream camera line.
The [BOLD]CVQ-3100[/BOLD] provides high-definition video in a dome configuration, and is designed to work within the CoVi SCAN (Security Camera Area Network) architecture used for the deployment of video surveillance on IP networks.
CVQ-3100’s high-definition capabilities offer significant advances over traditional analog cameras, according to the company, including the ability to capture video in resolution levels up to 1280×720, resulting in video images that are up to 12 times better than traditional analog cameras systems, says CoVi. In addition, its wide -format 16:9 ratio (letterbox size) picture reportedly provides 30 percent greater horizontal field-of-view coverage than standard 4:3 video.
According to CoVi, the MultiStream encoding technology enables the simultaneous recording of up to six different rates and resolutions of video, allowing a choice of video formats suitable to situation and need, while ensuring that surveillance video does not become a network bottleneck.
As an imaging component of CoVi SCAN, the CVQ-3100 addresses the often conflicting requirements of physical security and IT professionals. It offers exceptional image quality and accessibility for security, while removing bandwidth consumption concerns of IT. The CVQ-3100’s streamed video can be recorded at the edge of the network using CoVi’s Distributed Media Managers (DMMs). The end result is HD video with what CoVi calls “zero bandwidth consumption” on the IP network.
