Dahua introduces dual camera technology for wide area surveillance

AN INNOVATIVE camera unit combining panoramic scene overviews with detailed PTZ and tracking capabilities has been unveiled by Dahua Technology. The X-Spans Series integrates a 180-degree panoramic camera with a PTZ camera capable of zooming in and tracking objects and targets. This results in images consisting of a broad overview of a scene, together with close-up and detailed views of a person or object of interest.

The main features of the new range include long-range IR capability in low light conditions, 180-degree ultra-wide views and the ability to operate both in Combined Mode – whereby the panoramic and detail sensors work together to provide smart tracking capabilities – and Independent Mode. In the latter, the two channels function separately with different Artificial Intelligence functions.

By covering larger areas and viewing angles, an installation will typically require fewer cameras and less cabling, in turn yielding a cost-effective solution for monitoring a given area or site.

“The X-Spans Series provides the ultimate performance in dual camera technology and is set to empower the ability of end users to monitor large and medium-sized spaces both effectively and efficiently,” explained Michael Lawrence, marketing director for Dahua UK and Ireland. “Its powerful simultaneous wide scene and detailed tracking abilities render X-Spans a game-changer for this type of video surveillance.”

The X-Spans range includes:

*dual PTZ featuring unauthorised parking detection, smart tracking, IP67 protection and built-in speaker

*digital tilt panorama for large areas capable of unauthorised parking detection, smart tracking, face detection and ultra-wide panorama

*fixed panorama for medium-sized areas for perimeter protection, smart tracking, face recognition and video metadata

*manual tilt panorama featuring perimeter protection, smart tracking, smart dual-light+ and ‘Three-in-One Camera’ PTZ

*Further information on the X-Spans range is available online at www.dahuasecurity.com
