Digital camera specialist 7094 Basler is introducing edge storage in all IP camera models. The SD card functionality already available in their IP dome camera models will now also be integrated into their IP box camera range.

In this setup, the microSDHC card slot provides for local storage of up to 32 GB of data, making it possible to store live streams or single camera images in configurable time intervals on an SD card. In the event of a network failure occurs, the camera acts as a backup solution by recording video streams to the SD card. When the network connection has been restored, the video management system can retrieve the data and merge it seamlessly with video footage captured before the connection was interrupted.

When using an efficient encoder type such as H.264 and a high-capacity SD card, a Basler IP camera can independently capture and store images for an extended period of time without transmitting data back to a client. This is especially useful in remote surveillance locations, since the camera will not require any network connection.

Basler IP Cameras are available as box and dome models with resolutions of VGA to 5 megapixels and frame rates of up to 100 frames per second.

    Axis Communications is here at the ITS World Congress to demonstrate the latest innovations in IP video technology, something the company is uniquely qualified to do. Twenty years ago, all surveillance cameras were analogue and delivered video via a coaxial cable to a recorder that stored the video on a VHS tape. Axis Communications says that when it invented the network camera in 1996, it made it possible to connect a video camera directly to a computer network. The shift from analogue to digital technolog

    As IP-based technology makes its presence felt in the control room sector, it makes for greater economies of scale and also offers a migration path for many other traffic management technologies. So says Barco's Guy Van Wijmeersch. Efficient control room collaboration and decision-making is only possible if operators and decision-makers have easy and timely access to information. In many cases, that information also needs to be accessible to multiple users at the same time. This is certainly so in the case

    Basler will showcase four Ace U cameras which feature 20 MP resolution at Traffic Vision in Stuttgart, in Germany, 6-8 November. The company says a single camera can monitor multi-lane highways. The four ace U Models are suitable for inspection of structures such as printed circuit board or display production, the company adds. According to Basler, the U Models allow customers to use fewer cameras to achieve the same amount of pixels than before with cameras with lower resolution. This can also help
