Applications
SONY’s Exmor
TM
, the most well known back-illuminated CMOS technology, has been used in consumer electronics such as digital cameras
and digital camcorders and has proven to be a great success in capturing video in low light conditions. Thus, VIVOTEK IP8151/51P, which
features this sensor specifically designed for the security market, can surpass the performance of traditional cameras in low light environ-
ments. Traditionally, megapixel cameras require more light to achieve the picture clarity for object identification. With 1.3 megapixel being the
most popular megapixel camera standard today, VIVOTEK has explored how to achieve better image quality and usability through integration
of the latest technologies.
The frame rate of traditional megapixel cameras are limited to only 10~15 fps
due to hardware limitations. However, the IP8151/51P, equipped with Texas
Instrument’s newest chipset “DaVinci
TM
”, is able to transmit 1.3 Megapixel
resolution video at 30fps compressed with H.264. The ability to view and record
at a full frame rate brings many potential benefits. For example, if an object or
person passes through the camera view at high speed, a 10fps camera might
only capture 1 frame including the target, making identification difficult if that
frame does not contain adequate information. However, under the same circum-
stances, an IP8151/51P can capture 3 frames of the target, including details at
multiple instances when the event occurs.
Parking Lot Campus
With supreme night visibility, IP8151/51P is the perfect choice for
indoor/outdoor parking lots. The colors of the cars and passengers
are clearly seen and recorded without external illumination.
IP8151/51P can perfectly protect both human and cars at both day
and night.
In traffic monitoring, the most important thing is to see the
details of fast-moving cars. IP8151/51P is capable of cap-
turing fast-moving vehicles by the ability to record 30fps at
1.3-megapixel resolution. With supreme night visibility,
IP8151/51P can still capture moving vehicles under low-
light circumstances.
With high sensitivity & day/night function, IP8151/51P is also capa-
ble of campus monitoring. When there are true black areas, IR
illuminators can be installed to avoid “black spots” of security. The
high sensitivity further increases the range of IR, making
IP8151/51P the perfect choice of campus monitoring
