LILIN Merges the Power of 360 Degree Video Surveillance with the Affordability of an Analog Dome Camera

  • Oct 07, 2014

LILIN North America has combined the cost-effectiveness of analog cameras with the powerful effectiveness of 360° panoramic video surveillance in the new CMD2422 series HD two-megapixel sensor dome camera for both indoor and outdoor applications.

Providing a sphere of 360° coverage in 1600 x 1200 pixel HD resolution, the camera will accurately monitor a scene up to 4,000 square-feet resulting in 4 independent views from a single camera providing a reduced camera count, less cabling, and fewer people needed to administer the cameras. That means llower cost-of-ownership without compromising situational awareness.

Each of the camera's four D1 resolution channels are independently operated and their video is corrected or "dewarped" to avoid the fisheye distortion common in other, lower quality panoramic cameras. Also, in the event of a criminal act, the CMD2422 series makes more video data available for post-incident analysis. This new approach to 360° analog full HD video monitoring means that no mechanical PTZ (pan, tilt, zoom) motor is needed in the CMD2422 series to capture the full scene, further enhancing its ease of use and installation.

Other winning features of the camera include an IR cut filter for true day and night imaging, RS-485 control interface, IP66 outdoor rating, and on-screen display setup for faster installation.

Choose the model that best fits your installation environment. CMD2422S provides 4 BNC video outputs at the camera while CMD2422SC provides a single RJ45 output for use with up to a 300ft Cat5e cable run to the included video decoder that restores the 4 independent BNC video connections at the end of the cable run for easy connection to the DVR using a single home-run cabling approach. Optional PIH-931D or other Pelco D joystick controller adds easy PT scanning.

  • The Evolution of IP Camera Intelligence

    As the 30th anniversary of the IP camera approaches in 2026, it is worth reflecting on how far we have come. The first network camera, launched in 1996, delivered one frame every 17 seconds—not impressive by today’s standards, but groundbreaking at the time. It did something that no analog system could: transmit video over a standard IP network. Read Now

  • From Surveillance to Intelligence

    Years ago, it would have been significantly more expensive to run an analytic like that — requiring a custom-built solution with burdensome infrastructure demands — but modern edge devices have made it accessible to everyone. It also saves time, which is a critical factor if a missing child is involved. Video compression technology has played a critical role as well. Over the years, significant advancements have been made in video coding standards — including H.263, MPEG formats, and H.264—alongside compression optimization technologies developed by IP video manufacturers to improve efficiency without sacrificing quality. The open-source AV1 codec developed by the Alliance for Open Media—a consortium including Google, Netflix, Microsoft, Amazon and others — is already the preferred decoder for cloud-based applications, and is quickly becoming the standard for video compression of all types.
