When the Allegheny County Housing Authority’s old surveillance system proved more of a hindrance than a help in providing security, Chief Michael Vogel invested in a new hybrid solution.
Astronauts on the International Space Station inserted an effervescent tablet in a floating ball of water to test a new device that can record four times the resolution of a normal high-definition camera.
This bullet camera combines 24/7 high-contrast thermal video and high-performance built-in video motion detection to provide intrusion detection and visual awareness in daytime and nighttime conditions.
Where there is darkness, light. Or, at least, actionable security video boasting higher quality images at night. George Carlin, as the hippy dippy weatherman, had his spot-on prediction: “Weather forecast for tonight: dark. Continued dark overnight.” Add an additional nighttime forecast of likely chance of greater crime risk, too.
4K ultra-high definition (UHD) technology increases situational awareness and offers considerable value in control room environments. Delivering ~8.3 million pixels, 4K/UHD displays significantly enhance the ability of operators to monitor finely detailed imagery in a range of applications.
