30x optical zoom camera

Paul Boughton

The Hitachi DI-SC120R features a 1/3inch CCD sensor which provides a 1280x720 high definition video stream. Hitachi has combined its proprietary Digital Signal Processor (DSP) to a high sensitivity CCD sensor and 30x lens to achieve a minimum subject illumination of 0.5lx in colour mode.

The DI-SC120R includes  new features, defog, the camera processes in real time each pixel for fog thickness and applies contrast to the image to offer a much enhanced picture.

The 30x zoom function is combined with Hitachi’s unique high-speed auto focusing system. This ensures the accurate capturing of important evidence in many applications, including urban surveillance, license plate capture of distant vehicles, trains, etc.

Electronic image stabilisation compensates for vibration or movement of the camera, automatically minimising image blur and providing clarity of the picture.

Wide Dynamic Range allows the capture of image detail even in areas of great contrast, indoors/outdoors scenes at the entrance of a building for example. These areas are prone to white-out or loss of dark detail, reducing clarity of the subject area.

Unique to Hitachi is their two step approach to this problem The first step uses a composite of images taken at two different shutter speeds, while the second employs a contrast offset that corrects the contrast for an image pixel by pixel basis.

Advanced features include Privacy Masking in 3D mode in up to 8 zones, Motion Detection 64 zones, Motion Tracking, Image, reverse, mirror, vertical invert, freeze,

This block camera is suitable for security, surveillance, defence and many other applications
