LILIN Merges the Power of 360 Degree Video Surveillance

LILIN has combined the cost-effectiveness of analog cameras with the powerful effectiveness of 360° panoramic video surveillance in its new CMD2422 series HD two-megapixel sensor dome surveillance camera.

Providing a sphere of 360° coverage in 1600 x 1200 pixel HD resolution, the camera accurately monitors a scene up to 4,000 square-feet. Four independent views from a single camera reduces camera count, cabling, and the personnel needed to administer surveillance for lower cost-of-ownership without compromising situational awareness.

This is how it works: Each of the four D1 resolution channels are independently operated and their video is "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 motor is needed 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.
