Lorex introduces a series of innovative cameras equipped with
4K Ultra HD resolution, motorized
optical zooms and Color Night Vision™
MARKHAM, ON, Aug. 9, 2018 /CNW/ - Lorex Technology, a
global leader in home and small business video surveillance
solutions, introduces new and innovative Motorized Zoom Lens
Security Cameras (otherwise known as Varifocal Security Cameras)
that are equipped with state-of-the-art lenses that are capable of
easy FOV (field of view) adjustments. These cameras can zoom in on
a narrow FOV to focus on specific object or area in its view, like
a doorway or cash register, or zoom out to a wide FOV for maximum
coverage, or anywhere in between.
The majority of security cameras in the market today are limited
to a static Field of View. These security cameras have what is
called a fixed or prime lens. This type of lens has a limited focal
range, which means the field of view is always the same. Security
cameras with a varifocal lens from Lorex, on the other hand, can
zoom in and out, allowing users to customize the field of view for
their purposes.
To achieve a customizable field of view, Lorex varifocal cameras
use a powerful optical zoom lens. This type of lens is capable of
moving within the camera, altering the distance between itself and
the image sensor. As a result, the further the lens moves from the
sensor, the more magnified the field of view will become. Optical
zooms do not degrade the quality of the video unlike a digital
zoom, which basically just creates an "artificial" close-up by
cropping up and magnifying (or blowing up) a portion of the
image.
Unlike zoom lens security cameras of the past, which would make
users break out the ladder to adjust the zoom and focus on the
actual camera, the new Lorex varifocal security cameras are fully
motorized. This allows for customers to make FOV adjustments right
from a connected smartphone or from the security recorder. The
camera will also automatically focus, so images are always sharp
and crisp, regardless of focal length.
Lorex offers a wide range of zoom lens security cameras, in both
bullet and dome varieties. The latest varifocal offerings are
equipped with 4K Ultra HD resolution
recording, a 4x optical zoom lens, and Color Night Vision. Zoom
lenses can also be found in advanced PTZ (pan-tilt-zoom) security
cameras, which can be programmed to use their 12x optical zoom
capabilities as part of a set "tour" or "pattern." A new "Zoom and
Focus" feature for varifocal PTZ cameras is also coming soon. This
feature means that the camera will not only detect motion but will
also automatically zoom in and focus on it.
"Lorex security cameras with motorized varifocal lenses can add
a new level of versatility to your property's surveillance system,"
said Sufi Sulaiman, Vice President of Digital and Commerce of Lorex
Technology. "With the most innovative features, such as the highest
resolutions, the most advanced zoom lens technology, and Color
Night Vision, you will have peace of mind, knowing that your home
or business is monitored by the best tools in the industry."
