518 Allied Vision Technologies (AVT) has launched Prosilica GT, a new range of GigE Vision compliant digital cameras designed to perform in extreme environments and fluctuating lighting conditions. The company says the range offers new advanced features well suited for outdoor installations such as ITS and traffic monitoring, public security and surveillance.

Designed to minimise field maintenance by surviving extreme weather events, the Prosilica GT features a rugged thermal housing for maximum heat dissipation and remote temperature feedback with automatic power-down at peak temperatures to prevent critical component damage. Equipped with Ethernet surge suppression technology they are even designed to withstand a lightning storm.

The Prosilica GT family features the latest CCD sensor technology including a selection of 576 Sony EXview HAD CCD sensors, well known for high sensitivity and excellent

near IR response, and the latest Kodak KAI family sensors that combine high resolution and fast frame rates. Models from VGA to six Megapixels and up to 119 frames per second at full resolution will be released in three phases with the first models now available and additional models featuring high performance CCD and CMOS sensors scheduled for release in 2012.

All GT cameras feature Power over Ethernet (PoE), a technology that supplies power along with image data through the camera's

Gigabit Ethernet interface without the need for additional cabling.

High frame rate capability offers burst image capture often required in a targeted event such as traffic applications where multiple images of a licence plate improve ANPR accuracy.

The Prosilica GT family is supported by a free software development kit which includes libraries for Windows, Linux and QNX, and 32/64-bit CPU architectures allowing the same code base to be deployed across all major operating systems.

    Monitoring traffic flows is set to become an even bigger challengebut a revolution in camera technology can help, as Patrik Anderson explains. By 2025 almost 60% of the world’s population will live in urban areas and in those cities there will be an estimated 6.2 billion private motorised trips every day. In order to manage this level of traffic growth, traffic management centres (TMCs) will need to both increase their monitoring capabilities and be able to detect traffic problems quickly, efficiently and r

If traffic management centres (TMCs) around the world are to cope with the increasing demands of growing traffic flows while maintaining or improving transport safety and efficiency, then video monitoring will have to be supplemented by automated warnings of incidents or deviations. According to Patrik Anderson, business development director at Swedish camera manufacturer Axis Communications, it is no
