Lumenera Releases 2 New Intelligent Megapixel Cameras

Las Vegas, NV – ISC West 2008 – April 2, 2008 - Lumenera Corporation, a leading developer and manufacturer of high performance digital cameras and custom imaging solutions, 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, such as transportation and military, where the ultimate in megapixel image quality is required. Streaming full 1376 x 1032 megapixel resolution at up to 15 frames per second, the Li165 transmits high quality MJPEG or 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 high-end global shutter CCD is ideally suited for capturing images of rapidly moving vehicles.

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.

Features such as Power Over Ethernet (PoE), analog loop-out, advanced dc-iris control, and improved software interface are standard. Cameras are future proofed with on-going software developments and analytic enhancements that are remotely upgradable via the IP Network. Integration with NVRs/DVRs is simplified with OVReady - a standardized, open-platform XML interface. Optional true day/night variants are available, with a field-proven filter mechanism to provide outstanding nigh time performance when paired with infrared lighting. Lumenera can also provide a selection of weatherproof enclosures.

Through Lumenera’s partnership with ObjectVideo (OV), OV OnBoardTM is fully embedded into a powerful DSP within the camera. Embedded analytics push intelligence to the edge of the network for optimal system efficiency, especially for large network installations with hundreds of cameras. Users have three levels of ObjectVideo licenses to choose from, depending on the level of monitoring functionality required.

“Lumenera’s continues to push the envelope with cameras that meet the specific needs of demanding surveillance applications.” stated John Recesso, Director of Business Development, Lumenera Corporation. “The unsurpassed sensitivity of the Li165 makes it the product of choice for critical surveillance applications, while the cost-effective Li175 offers good sensitivity, megapixel resolution, and powerful anti-blooming.”

Lumenera is pleased to announce that the Li165 and Li175 cameras are now shipping. Contact your local Integrator or Distributor for pricing, or visit our website at www.lumenera.com for more details.
