RUNCORN, UK, April 28th 2009 – Honeywell (NYSE: HON) today announced that it
has extended its IP solutions portfolio in Europe, Middle East and Africa (EMEA)
with the launch of the Fusion III v3.6 Digital Video Recorder (DVR), and HCX
megapixel camera range, providing security installers and integrators with a
comprehensive Honeywell IP video solution alongside its proven analogue
solutions. The new portfolio of IP products is ideal for organisations such as
government facilities, educational centres, commercial buildings and municipal
environments looking to expand current digital or analogue networks with the
latest IP technology.
The Fusion III v3.6 – the latest version of the highly regarded Fusion III
security DVR series – offers full integration with Honeywell’s new HCX megapixel
camera range as well as the EQUIP™ range of IP cameras and ACUIX™ IP PTZ Domes.
The Fusion III v3.6 also enables existing Honeywell Fusion users to implement IP
onto an analogue network via a flash upgrade, without the need to install a new
DVR or replace network infrastructure.
“With these new products, we can offer installers and integrators a complete
IP video solution portfolio,” said Chris Koetsier, Global Video Systems Product
Director, Honeywell Systems Group, EMEA. “Honeywell has a heritage of developing
innovative, high quality analogue video solutions for the security market and
now we are bringing that knowledge and expertise to the IP realm through our
Fusion III, HCX, EQUIP and ACUIX ranges.”
Honeywell’s IP products portfolio include:
Fusion III v3.6 DVR – The latest version of the highly
regarded Fusion III security DVR series incorporates proven Fusion III hardware
alongside new enhancements such as advanced IP camera integration, Smart Motion
search technology and Microsoft Active Directory integration. The Fusion III
v3.6 uses the latest IP technology to bridge the gap between analogue and
digital systems, offering complete integration between the two formats.
Furthermore, optional intelligent video analytics via Honeywell’s Active Alert®,
Smart Impressions® and People Counter packages can significantly increase event
detection accuracy while virtually eliminating false alarms.
Honeywell HCX Megapixel technology – Honeywell’s new HCX
megapixel cameras offer leading-edge IP technology and savings on installation
and equipment costs, providing network surveillance for high resolution object
recognition beyond the capability of standard analogue cameras. In areas where
surveillance is required over a large field of view, one HCX camera is able to
perform the same job as several standard analogue cameras, with the quality of
image facilitating significantly improved forensic analysis.
EQUIP series of IP cameras – Adopting the look of
Honeywell’s successful analogue camera line, the EQUIP Series is a family of
IP-enabled professional cameras. EQUIP IP cameras capture high quality images at
a rate of 25 frames per second at 4CIF even in low light, resulting in sharper
images, while faster video transmission is achieved via MPEG-4 compression,
reducing network bandwidth requirements. The range includes day/night body
cameras and a vandal resistant mini-dome.
ACUIX IP PTZ dome – The crowning model in the EQUIP series
provides superior images, faster responses to events and tighter integration
with Honeywell DVRs. The ACUIX IP dome features 18X Colour and 18X, 26X and 35X
True Day/Night lenses, Wide Dynamic Range for difficult lighting situations and
Electronic Image Stabilisation for improved image quality in unstable mounting
situations.
