The SDF418 has just been released. This compact dome camera has been designed to be one of the most flexible cameras in the entire MESSOA line up. A wide range of features help the camera obtain fluid, crystal clear images in low light conditions from either the indoors or the outdoors. Quick installation, 3-axis mount, AC line lock, and multi-language support make the SDF418 completely adaptable for any environment.Image enhancement features show images as clear as day in day or night, indoors or outdoorsThe SDF418 utilises a high-quality 1/3" Sony CCD to deliver 700 TV lines of high resolution images. Image processing capability is further enhanced by MESSOA's LumiiIII™ technology, which makes images sharper and clearer images than typical 700 TVL cameras. Furthermore, the versatile SDF418 is packed with light adaptive features, such as the digital wide dynamic range, backlight compensation and auto white balance. The SDF418 ensures you quality image in any light conditions.Image noise is reduced or completely goneUltra low light conditions are no match for LumiiIII. The SDF418 can decrypt images in light as low as 0.03 lux. Image noise is immediately cleared up using with Noise Reduction. Not only do images become clear, but the image size is also reduced. As a result, storage-space requirements and back-end costs are minimised.Achieve any view you want with 3-axis camera mountWith 3-axis mount support, any view angle is achievable. This offers flexible installation on a ceiling or wall even angled surfaces. The camera's pan, tilt and panoramic rotation capability makes it an ideal solution for wide-area surveillance.Dual voltage for flexible powerThe camera supports two types of power operation: 24V AC or 12V DC. The camera automatically adapts to whichever power source is used, making installation fast on any power system.Stops vandals and bad weather with a camera casing that is rated IP66 and IK10 impact resistanceBlunt objects and water don't even faze the SDF 418. The thick security glass and tough body are rated IK10 and can withstand an impact of 20 Joules meaning it can withstand baseball hats, hammers, and even some small arm hand guns. Neither man nor nature will affect the SDF 418.
The shopping District, or Shoutengai, in Koto-Ku, Tokyo is located next to a busy train station that gathers many restaurants, shops, and sake bars together in this newly vibrant neighbourhood. As the area becoming more commercially alive, there was an increasing concern for crimes taken place within the district, especially during late nights. For the purpose of crime prevention, the Shopping District Association began to consider deploying surveillance cameras at the crime hot spots as a way to strengthen the public safety in the neighbourhood. Yet with its limited finances, the association had to look for an effective solution at a lower cost that would cope with its tight budget. Solution With the help from MESSOA, more than 60 Maven series NCR365 IR bullet cameras and a dozen of NOD385 IR dome cameras were introduced in this project. Equipped with a 3MP CMOS sensor and removable IR-cut filter for 24/7 monitoring, these cameras deliver exceptional image quality for accurate identification at crime-prone spots. Both cameras support onboard memory with microSD card slot that utilises edge recording technology. Up to 64GB of HD quality CCTV footage can be recorded locally on each camera without the need of installing NVRs, saving a significant amount of installation costs. Structure-wise, both the NCR365 and NOD385 are IP67 certified, featuring built-in heater and weatherproof enclosure to ensure the cameras are capable of withstanding any harsh environments in Japan, particularly in winter times. Result By utilising the edge-based recording technology, the whole project eliminated the need for a centralised recording server or storage, helping the association saving a great deal of costs as planned. This solution did not compromise reliability thanks to SD card's solid state without any moving parts like a hard drive. The files can be securely stored and easily retrieved when needed. The motorised lens with auto focus of the NCR35 provided benefits to the project as well by drastically facilitating the time-consuming installation. Technicians were able to get the job done fast with easy by taking advantage of remote configuration with simple mouse clicks. The simplified set up cut the installation process short and saved lots of labour costs as result.
