According to Observint Technologies president Brian Wood, the addition of 3S Vision to Observint Technologies’ expanding technology portfolio adds further depth to the company’s ability to deliver fully-integrated video surveillance and security system solutions for any system and vertical market need.

With this announcement, Observint Technologies is launching several of 3S Vision’s new 5 megapixel network cameras. The new models include a box style camera, an indoor/outdoor vandal resistant dome camera, and an indoor/outdoor IR bullet style camera - all delivering 5 MP resolution at 15 fps and 1080p resolution at 30 fps. Features include H.264/MJPEG dual codec and streaming capability; 3D Noise Reduction technology to filter noise in low light; Digital Wide Dynamic Range for enhanced imaging in diverse lighting environments; plus motion detection, tamper detection and privacy masking. Prices for the new 3S Vision line of 5 megapixel cameras start at the affordable price point of $420.00 (MSRP).

In addition to the 5 MP cameras, the 3S Vision product line includes 2 megapixel cameras and accessories, network PTZ cameras, and IP encoders. 3S Vision video surveillance products are compatible with major VMS platforms such as DIGIOP, Digifort, NUUO, Video Insight (API), Exacq, Genetec, Geovision, Milestone, OnSSI and Solstice.

Observint will provide sales and technical support for the 3S Vision product line including a nation-wide network of manufacturer’s reps, field and inside sales, sales engineers and dedicated technical support. 3S Vision products are available through Observint’s growing list of distribution partners, including BlueStar, CSC, ScanSource, Security Cameras Direct and Supercircuits.

3S Vision’s line of megapixel cameras and IP system solutions will be on display in Observint Technologies’ ISCW booth (#12087) in Las Vegas from April 10-12, 2013.

  • 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.
