Apollo Video Technology has released the RoadRunner Mobile App for the iPhone and iPod Touch to allow transit officials to view live video feeds from buses, trains, police cars and transit facilities. "The RoadRunner Mobile Application is the first iPhone app aimed specifically at transit officials and first responders," said Rodell Notbohm, general manager of Apollo Video Technology.

Traficon has announced its first automatic incident detection (AID) board for analysing images coming from network cameras. The new multi-functional Video Image Processor for traffic control (VIP-IP) has been developed to respond to the upcoming trend towards IP cameras, and is being launched at the same time as Flux, a new video detection management system.

Iteris has launched Pico, a compact video detection system that delivers superior vehicle detection in a small and economical package. Designed to address international video detection needs, the system includes a weather resistant camera sensor with a built-in vehicle detection processor and an interface controller that resides in the traffic cabinet. Designed for easy installation and configuration, Iteris says the device can be mounted at low heights with no need for special poles or mounting apparatus.

TagMaster has launched the XT series readers and ID-tags addressing the EPC Gen 2 specification designed for application areas such as parking, gated communities, and condominiums as well as people access. TagMaster is initially introducing the XT-2eu and XT-2us to its UHF series. The XT-2eu is designed to comply with the European regulations for ISO18000-6 type C, while the XT-2us is designed for the North American regulations, in terms of frequency range and output power.

Fujinon has introduced two newly developed, 2/3" sensor size 5 Megapixel lenses for day/night applications: the HF35SR4A-1/SA1, with a focal length of f=35mm and F2, and the HF50SR4A-1/SA1, offering f=50mm and F2.8. Iris control can be either manual or automatic, by DC signal. Due to the combination of high resolution and IR correction, the company says these lenses are ideally suited for CCTV and security as well as for traffic applications, such as automatic number plate recognition.

A new camera range from Stemmer Imaging uses a sensor, based on solar cell technology, to allow imaging from scenes which simultaneously contain both very light and very dark areas. The company says this makes them ideally suited to use in environments with a very high dynamic range, or where there are strong and unpredictable brightness fluctuations. The new FX4 HDR (High Dynamic Range) sensor produces a logarithmic signal output. This enables fine differences in brightness to be imaged even in very bright

The Prosilica GX-Series from Allied Vision Technologies (AVT) is available with five sensors from 1-8 megapixels and a new thermal management housing. This range of Gigabit Ethernet cameras combines high speed and high resolution. Running at 240Mb/s data rate, the company claims the GX-Series are the fastest GigE Vision-compliant cameras in the world. They are equipped with the latest Kodak CCD sensors to offer excellent image quality and high sensitivity. All models feature the specially designed new therm

Omnitron Systems Technology has announced a new solution for extending network distances to remote IP security cameras that draw electrical current from Power over Ethernet (PoE). The company's new OmniConverter media converter enables fibre connectivity up to 140km from video servers and network equipment. Installed at end of the fibre run, the device is located near an AC or DC power source, where it converts the fibre to UTP and injects PoE over the cabling to power the IP camera. Classified as Power Sou

Communication Networks (ComNet) has expanded its ValueLine by introducing a cost-effective 24-port modular Gigabit Ethernet switch for commercial security applications. The CWGE24MODMS is the company's first modular managed Ethernet switch that provides a high port count with great flexibility in communications media type and connector choice. The all-new device is essentially a user-configurable chassis that allows for three eight-port modules to be accommodated. The modules are available as either eight e

Swedish company ABC-CAD Elektronik has announced a new vehicle detector, the ABC043. The device, which has a built-in PIC processor for intelligent control, features automatic calibration with the attached loop. Sensitivity and trigger level can be adjusted in 10 different states. A 10 LED bar graph shows the signal level and can be used for adjustment of sensitivity, trigger level and pulse/presence.

Vicon Industries is introducing a new, progressive scan camera within its SurveyorVFT 35X zoom domes. According to the company, the new camera delivers superior video quality in two modes (Normal and High Sensitive); it will be included in all in SurveyorVFT outdoor, impact-resistant and pressurised housings.

Mitsubishi Digital Electronics America's Presentation Products Division, has announced an addition to its SeventySeries display wall product line, the SeventySeries: FLAT, a super-narrow bezel LCD panel designed for transportation management centres, emergency operation centres and security operation centres.

ParkingPal, a new barrier-less approach to pay-on-foot parking, integrates Parking Applications' Veri-Park management and control system with a significantly enhanced Parkeon Strada Pay & Display (P&D) terminal equipped with a full-colour touchscreen.

UK-headquartered Siemens Mobility, Traffic Solutions has released its latest UTMC-compliant Outstation Transmission Unit (OTU) to provide customers with the full benefits available within SCOOT MC3 and fully implementing the latest UG405 communications protocol.
