  • Apr 16, 2015

Digital Watchdog is demonstrating two additions to our MEGApix camera line at the ISC West Exhibition, April 15-17, 2015, in Las Vegas, Nevada, Booth 25089. DW MEGApix IP camera technology is now available in new 2.1MP Pan, Tilt, Zoom (PTZ) cameras with 5X optical zoom in both surface mount and flush mount models. These very aggressively priced cameras further round out our already proven IP product line, representing our commitment to deliver powerful and reliable security solutions to our customers worldwide.

"These tiny dome PTZs are remarkable for their usability and image quality," said Wade Thomas, President, Digital Watchdog. "They are also two of the easiest to install cameras on the market today."

Both MPTZ5X models are triple codec PTZ network cameras that provide 1080P megapixel resolution at up to 30 frames per second. Advanced features such as True Day/Night, 3D-DNR and WDR help to deliver the best images in any type of lighting environment. A powerful 5~25mm lens offers 5x optical zoom controlled from the camera's web-viewer without the need for additional cabling. PoE and a Micro SD card port boost ease of installation and management. The MPTZ5XFM flush mount model offers additional features such as 2-Way Audio and Sensor In/ Out Interface.

  • 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.
