Sony Effio Chipset: Effio (Enhanced Features and Fine Image Processor)
The new Sony Effio Chip set is what Sony is calling the new DSP chip set. It allows for 700TVL with richer color, high S/N, built in WDR, and higher color reproduction for security cameras. Under normal circumstances the worst digital IP camera or megapixel camera is 10x better than the best analog camera but the new Sony Effio is giving that thought a run for its money. This camera is excellent for facial recognition or giving a clear image on license plates. This camera provides a low lux of .001 before it changes to black and white with the IR function but has a 30m (100ft) illumination length when the IR function is on.
Excellent Color Reproduction
Noise Reduction
The Design and Fabrication of an Access Control System and its Components
There are many areas of importance when building and creating an access control solution for you business. You want the process to be smooth and efficient below or some key factors to go over when looking at you application.
1.) You need to look at how the system will benefit your needs, will the cost of the investment create a positive solution that is worth the money you put into the project.
2.) Make a layout, create a plan on where the vulnerable areas. Find out what areas need to be secured, and list the areas in order from the most important to the least important.
3.) Figure out what means of protection that will be placed on these secure areas. What components will be needed to make the door accessible and secure.
4.) Are you going to need a reader, pin pad or combo pad on each specific location?
5.) What kind of hardware will be needed to secure each door? Will it be a magnetic lock, electric strike or knob?
6.) Are there any other components that will be needed to make the door functional? Will a REX (Request to Exit) method be needed such as a red push to exit button?
7.) You will need to make sure all the components can work together and be compatible. How will the Reader connect to your existing network?
8.) What cables will be needed? There are many different ways to create the wire setup, you need to figure out what layout will work best for you.
9.) If you system comes with management software then great, if not you need to find what Access Control Management Software you would want to use.
10.) How many people will be included in the system? How do you want to access the system?
IR Ilumminators
Ir illumination plays the vital role in the ability to be able to see at night. We are all familiar with night vision capability. The most commonly used IR camera is probably the IR dome camera. Typically the camera comes with a ccd or cmos ship set and can range from 420 TVL ( t.v. lines) to 600+. The amount of illumination is typically a result of the amount of LEDs this camera or the strength set inside the camera. For instance a camera with 24 LED’s is capable of seeing further in low light conditions if the LED’s are bigger.
Let us say you have an application where there is very little light but you have a very specific focal point. Typically a box camera can be used. A perfect example would be a camera that is being used for a license plate recognition camera or LPR. Typically this is accomplished with a high resolution box camera and a powerful varifocal or adjustable lens. But, box cameras do not have the ability to see true IR. This is a perfect application for an IR illuminator. What an IR illuminator will allow you to do is to transmit infrared light in the path of the camera which in obvious will provide greater night vision range. These can be used with traditional IR cameras as well to extend the range of illumination. One key component to remember is the IR cut Filter. This is required in a camera to be able to use the illumination coming off the illuminator.
But, don’t forget a simple motion light will also increase your odds and capturing your footage.
