LAS VEGAS, NEVADA–( EMWNews – April 2, 2008) – ISC West – Lumenera Corporation, a leading developer and manufacturer of high performance and custom digital cameras, today announced the release of two new intelligent camera models which respond to security threats in real-time. The Li165 and Li175 provide unique, tangible results by preventing intrusions, attacks and vandalism while in progress.

The Li165 is specifically designed for critical surveillance applications with low-light conditions and/or fast motion. Streaming 15 fps at 1.4 megapixel resolution, the Li165 transmits high quality MJPEG/H.264 images across a standard 10/100BaseT network interface. The Li165 combines excellent sensitivity and extremely low noise levels for superior performance in poor lighting conditions.

The Li175 combines 1.3 megapixel image quality with video analytics to help automate surveillance in any environment. A CMOS sensor provides images at up to 21 frames per second. This camera has powerful peak white inversion and anti-blooming features for dealing with intense glare from reflected sunlight or headlamps on vehicles.

PoE, analog loop-out, advanced dc-iris control, and improved software interface are standard. Cameras are future proofed with in-field software upgrades over IP. Video management is simplified with OVReady – an open-platform XML standard. Optional true day/night variants available.

ObjectVideo OnBoard(tm) is embedded into a powerful on-camera DSP, pushing intelligence to the network edge for optimal efficiency in large installations. Users have three levels of ObjectVideo licenses to choose from, depending on the level of monitoring functionality required.
