Elmo Introduces Fixed Weatherproof Day/Night Camera

Sept. 16, 2005
Network-enabled camera offers dual MPEG4 and JPEG streams

PLAINVIEW, NY -- The ELMO SN2230IP Day/Night network camera incorporates a built-in-web server with a dual compression format, network interface, and analog video output in a single unit. This full-featured outdoor camera with wide dynamic range and high sensitivity captures almost every detail, even in lighting conditions that range from brilliant sunshine and glare to nearly complete darkness. Built-in IR illumination provides extra light and works with camera's day/night functions during darkness. A weatherproof IP66-rated housing protects it against the elements.

The SN2230IP delivers simultaneous MPEG4 and MJPEG output over the network to make high quality video viewable by standard web-browsers or through PC software, at the same time that their NTSC video outputs are sent to an analog CCTV system for display or recording. Users can monitor sites on their network and view identifiable real time images on a PC from anywhere at anytime. Dual MPEG4/MJPEG formats permit users to adjust frame rate up to 30fps and image size/quality up to full D1 to meet changing network conditions or application requirements. The 30fps rate in both formats provides clear, detailed moving images. Up to 50 users of MJPEG or 3 users of MPEG4 can access a site simultaneously.

For full day/night operation, the camera's low illumination requirements: 0.35lx, (color); 0.45lx, (B & W) and removable IR cut filter make it easier to identify intruders, even at low light levels. The camera delivers detailed images using advanced DSP circuitry with 1/3 inch IT 410,000 pixel CCD, backlight compensation. It has a 2.5x digital zoom and a high quality 2.7x vari-focal auto iris lens. Built-in motion detection sends alarm outputs to alert security personnel. The images captured can be transferred to an FTP server for later viewing. IP filtering assures site security by restricting access to authorized users.
