It incorporates Panasonic's Super Dynamic III (SDIII) technology which provides 128-times dynamic range; pixel-based digital contrast correction; Auto Image Stabilizer to minimize effects of vibration and wind; Auto Focus to maintain image detail and clarity across its extensive zoom range; Auto Tracking to follow an individual’s movements within the camera's field of view; Scene Change Detection to alert if the camera has been tampered with; 30-times optical zoom (300-times electronically); Adaptive Digital Noise Reduction to minimize image streaking when viewing moving images; 540 lines of color resolution; and extreme low light sensitivity in color (0.5 lux) and BW (0.06 lux). Additional features of the WV-CS954 include; day/night operation; privacy zone masking; built-in digital motion detection; digital-flip for automatic 180-degree turning; 360-degree endless fine panning at a max speed of 400 degrees/second; RS-485 communications; alarm inputs/outputs; VD2 internal synchronization; and 256 presets. It is the most feature-rich video surveillance dome camera available. Smart cards HID Global Corp. and one of its companies, AccessID, are supporting the launch of QiWave, HID's iClass 13.56 MHz contactless smart cards. They are are optimized to manage multiple applications in a secure, versatile and interoperable environment. Applications include physical and logical access, cashless vending and biometric authentication. AccessID is designed to add further value to the iClass card through custom printing, anti-counterfeiting features such as holograms and UV inks and other value-added card services required in the campus environment. QiWave's contactless iClass solution increases transaction speed and convenience for the user, reduces or eliminates cash handling, reduces machine maintenance and extends card life by eliminating mechanical contact between the card and the reader. QiWAVE was introduced to the public at the Campus of the Future Meeting in Honolulu, Hawaii July 8-11. Reducing health risk Ingersoll Rand Security Technologies today announced that it is using an advanced plastic technology to reduce the spread of microorganisms from people using its new GT Series biometric HandPunch readers for time and attendance applications. HandPunch readers take a three-dimensional reading of the size and shape of a hand to verify the user’s identity in less than one second. A silver-based material, using BioCote silver antimicrobial technology, is embedded into the plastics used to create the HandPunch, providing a hygienic finish that resists bacterial degradation and reduces bacteria levels on the reader's surface. BioCote Limited, the market leader in the field of antimicrobial technology, developed the antimicrobial technology used in the handreaders. The active agents in BioCote products are incorporated during the manufacturing process and remain active for the life of biometric reader to protect it from degradation |
