547 Vicon Industries has introduced the new, comprehensive V960 line of fixed cameras that it claims deliver superior resolution, image quality and performance when used as part of any ONVIFcompliant video management system. These true day/night cameras are available in block, indoor dome, outdoor dome and bullet housings with a variety of lens options, and all are offered with resolutions of 1,080p, 720p and D1 (2 MP, 1.3 MP and VGA).

A removable IR-cut filter is said to provide superior image quality around the clock, while image quality is further enhanced by use of a P-iris that precisely optimises the balance between lighting and depth of field. The cameras transmit H.264 compression with dual streaming; up to nine secondary streams may be H.264 or M-JPEG and vary in resolution, frame rate and image quality. Remote focus capabilities, combined with power-over- Ethernet, facilitate easy installation.

    Sony’s Jerome Avenel looks at how advances in imaging technology are helping improve safety. On the 24th March 1999, a Belgian truck transporting flour and margarine through the 11.6km Mont Blanc tunnel caught alight when a cigarette stub entered the engine induction snorkel, lighting the paper air filter. The fire left over 30 dead and many more injured. At the time, the Mont Blanc tunnel disaster was the world’s worst tunnel fire.

    New trials show Bluetooth and Wi-Fi signals can be reliably used for measuring travel times and at a lower cost than an ANPR system, but which is the better proposition depends on many factors. Measuring travel times has traditionally relied automatic number plate (or licence plate) recognition (ANPR/ALPR) cameras capturing the progress of vehicles travelling along a pre-defined route. Such systems also have the benefit of being able to count passing traffic and have become a vital tool in dealing with c

    Across the board, technology is being brought to bear to improve the efficiency of enforcement. Bus lane monitoring, parking and controlled access have all benefited from systems introduced in recent months. While speed and red light infringements tend to attract the most attention, there remain several other areas of enforcement where automation can bring significant operational and efficiency benefits. Lane monitoring and access control also continue to benefit from technological development.
