IP Video Surveillance Systems for Perimeter Control

Vimar has updated its hardware security offering by integrating the By-alarm Plus and Elvox CCTV systems within the View IoT Smart System platform. This architecture enables the unified management of surveillance and intrusion detection devices via IP protocols, targeting applications in the residential and small commercial sectors.

Thermal and High-Resolution Cameras
The product range consists of IP cameras in Dome and Bullet form factors, available with resolutions of 2, 4, 6, and 8 megapixels and equipped with integrated video analytics algorithms. The hardware lineup includes Plus variants equipped with thermal sensors, designed to detect the heat emitted by objects under compromised visibility conditions (such as fog, smoke, or total darkness), thereby supporting advanced perimeter control and event search functionalities.

High-Sensitivity Sensors and Mechanical Protection
For installations requiring color night vision, the architecture expands with the Panoramica Plus camera, which offers a 180-degree field of view via dual lenses, and the Bullet Color Plus model. The latter is equipped with an ultra-high-sensitivity sensor (0.0005 lux and an F1.0 aperture) that enables the acquisition of color images in the absence of additional illumination. For space-constrained environments, the Mini PTZ Plus camera (116x75 mm) has been introduced, while for areas exposed to mechanical risks, the portfolio includes the Dome Plus camera with IK10 vandal-proof certification.

In the IP video surveillance sector, lenses with a focal aperture of F1.0 (such as those used in the Color Plus series) allow the optical sensor to capture a significantly larger amount of light compared to traditional F2.0 lenses. This eliminates the need to rely on active infrared (IR) illuminators, which, while effective in the dark, only yield monochromatic (black and white) images, thereby limiting visual identification capabilities. Furthermore, the IK10 rating cited for the Dome Plus model represents the highest standardized level of mechanical protection according to the international IEC 62262 standard. The housing is tested to withstand an impact of 20 joules—equivalent to the kinetic energy generated by a 5 kg mass dropped from a height of 40 cm—ensuring hardware operation in public areas or locations prone to tampering.
