Vicon Introduces Wide Selection of H.265 Cameras at ISC West

  • Mar 24, 2017

Vicon Industries, Inc. will introduce an extensive new line of H.265 megapixel IP cameras at the ISC West Show in Las Vegas, April 5-7. The cameras, available in a wide range of resolutions and form factors, all offer H.265 video encoding, also called HEVC (High Efficiency Video Coding), that delivers compression ratios from 40%-50% lower than H.264 encoding, while delivering the same visual quality. Use of H.265 cameras can dramatically decrease the cost of overall video management system operation, as they require significantly less bandwidth for video transmission and decreased storage requirements due to the smaller size of recorded video files.

Vicon’s new line of H.265 cameras includes a selection of domes, mini bullets, bullets and “eyeball” cameras, in resolutions ranging from 2 to 6 megapixels and a choice of fixed or varifocal lenses. Some models are suitable for outdoor use and feature a vandal-proof housing. All may be powered via PoE (Power-over-Ethernet). While specifications vary by camera, all offer exceptional image clarity due to features that include wide dynamic range, digital noise reduction, and IR illumination for visibility in low lighting condition. The cameras are ONVIF compliant, offer full frame-rate recording, and multi-streaming.

“State-of-the-art cameras are vital components to any video management system,” said Bret McGowan, Vicon’s Senior VP of Sales and Marketing, “and any efforts to deliver high-performance and cost-effective end-to-end solutions to our customers must include the right camera options. Our new H.265 cameras will deliver exceptional video quality while optimizing overall system efficiency and reduce long-term operating costs.”

  • 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.
