April 6, 2005
VCC-9000/9100 Series offers broad range of monitoring applications

Chatsworth, CA -- Sanyo Security Products announces the launch of a series of DSP super high resolution PTZ cameras with flexible configurations for indoor or outdoor monitoring. Known as "high- speed PTZ cameras" for their PTZ properties, the series adapts to almost any application with 520 TV lines of resolution in color or day/night versions, as well as a choice of housing types and dome cover types for various monitoring situations. The series will be shown in Booth #20038 at the ISC West April 6-8 in Las Vegas.

With remote-controlled Pan/Tilt/Zoom functionality, the flexibility of the VCC-9000/9100 Series takes monitoring to the next level by offering the flexibility to see almost anything within the camera's range. A powerful 22x optical zoom and 16x digital zoom allow the user to zoom in on small or distant objects with exceptional clarity.

"The arrival of the high speed PTZ for Sanyo opens up exciting new application possibilities and delivers the flexibility to install the cameras in a variety of situations," said Raul Calderon, Sanyo's National Product Development Manager. "With the VCC-9000/VCC-9100, Sanyo offers a powerful demonstration of how PTZ expands the functionality of the security camera and expands system solutions for Sanyo," he added.

Both the VCC-9000 Color Camera and the VCC-9100 Day/Night Camera provide clear, sharp images achieved by Sanyo's digital signal processing (DSP) system for over 520 TV lines of horizontal resolution. In addition, while offering minimum illumination of 1.2 lux with the VCC-9100 or 2.0 lux with the VCC-9000, camera sensitivity can be further enhanced via an up-to 32x electronic sensitivity boost. The Pan/Tilt/Zoom features include 80 Preset Positions, four types of Auto Mode Settings, variable speed Pan and Tilt providing endless panning over 360? in the horizontal plane and 180? of tilt in the vertical, and mechanical Auto Flip for monitoring objects directly below the camera. Other features of the camera include Privacy Masking so that certain areas will not appear on the monitor screen to protect people's privacy. A center- weighted photometry system provides backlight compensation with light measured at the center of the field of view. Thirty-two different camera combinations offer greater flexibility for almost any installation requirement. This can be achieved by selecting from one of the two camera types (VCC-9000 Color or VCC-9100 Day/Night), two housing types (indoor pendant or outdoor pendant), clear or smoked dome covers and four mounting types. Recognizing the need for easy set-up and control, the Speed Dome Series is compatible with Sanyo's Security Serial Protocol (SSP), a communications method for interfacing between various components of a security video system, allowing seamless integration into existing video surveillance systems.
