Westinghouse Security Adds Starlight Color Camera Series to Lineup

  • Mar 06, 2017

Westinghouse Security announces the addition of the Starlight color camera series to their product lineup. Available in a turret or bullet model, these cameras capture high resolution color video surveillance day or night. The 1080P cameras provide superior detail and clarity, making them not only ideal for home security but for business surveillance. From convenience stores, garden centers, and drug stores to banks and jewelry stores, Starlight cameras offer an affordable, dependable solution that helps keep people and property more safe, more secure.

Both the Starlight bullet and turret cameras are available as either a 4-in-1 that use existing coaxial cables and work with HDTVI, HDCVI, AHD, and CVBS technologies or IP version. With a 3.6mm F1.2 starlight lens, these cameras capture images up to nearly 1,000 feet from a fixed position. In addition, the strong waterproof housing is rated IP66, providing a high level of protection against particles and water. And, with a value-priced MSRP, Westinghouse Security Starlight cameras offer an affordable path to surveillance without sacrificing quality or dependability.

“In addition to color being more aesthetically pleasing, a full-color output can be critical when identifying key elements of a perpetrator or situation,” says Brian Moses, chief sales officer, Westinghouse Security. “If someone needed to identify a person and provide details such as the color of the jacket he/she was wearing or the color of the car that drove away, Starlight cameras would be able to provide that level of detail.” Moses went on to say, “Some color cameras are not suited for low light environments, but Starlight cameras excel at providing exceptional color night vision, which is key to this type of camera system."

  • 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.
