From Bosch, the MIC400 Infrared PTZ Camera is a ruggedized speed dome with built-in infrared illumination. Black Diamond technology delivers high quality night-vision video up to 180 feet for improved incident monitoring and asset protection in total darkness. Even illumination eliminates hot spots and underexposure, producing the clear picture that security systems require to provide reliable 24/7 surveillance -- making the camera an ideal choice for many locations, including utility sites, ports and commercial buildings. www.boschsecurity.us
From Cernium, CheckVideo is an intelligent video verification product that seamlessly integrates with central alarm station software to dramatically reduce false alarms while decreasing the burden to operators. CheckVideo uses powerful Cernium video analytics technology to determine if a real person is present, greatly reducing false alarms triggered by motion alone. Simple to install, the IP standards-based CheckVideo solution connects to existing cameras, requires minimal set up, and is priced comparably to “standard” video encoders. www.cernium.com
