Samsung SNV-5010 Approved for the European Railway Industry

Samsung SNV-5010Multiple recent tests which were carried out by two entirely different testing houses have resulted in certificates being issued verifying that the new Samsung SNV-5010 vandal resistant network camera line is physically able to effectively operate within the extremely demanding conditions of European railway trains and stations. The tests, among other things, included the ability to withstand extreme vibrations.

TUV SUD, out of Germany, carried out testing of the SNV-5010 in order to ensure that it was strong enough to be used at railway stations in Europe by complying with the EN-50121 standard. The other tests were carried out by SGS Korea Co. Ltd. in a separate test that allowed the issuing of a certificate of compliance with the EN-50155 standard, confirming the SNV-5010's ability to perform under rigorous conditions on board trains.

According to Senior Product Manager for Samsung Techwin Europe Ltd. Peter Ainsworth, "This is an important landmark for Samsung as very few cameras have been able to meet the required standards of the European railway industry and in particular prove they have the capability to reliably operate on board moving trains. The SNV-5010 is an excellent example of our ability to provide railway companies and organizations with robust and reliable video surveillance solutions which, although keenly priced, are packed full of technically advanced features offering tangible benefits to railway and trained operators."

The SNV-5010 is just the most recent product from Samsung's professional security products catalog to be tested and receive EN-50121 standard certification. The vandal resistant and fully weatherproof 1.3 megapixel dome camera measures 100 x 115 x 42 millimeters and is specifically designed for environments where there may be limited space. The camera utilizes progressive scan technology in order to capture sharp, high-quality video and also features license-free Intelligent Video Analytics, which has an optical tripwire as well as enter/exit direction detection.

VideoIQ Debuts Low Temperature HD Cameras

VideoIQ iCVR D1 dome cameraVideoIQ, a leader in video surveillance innovation, just recently announced the addition of low temperature models of the company's iCVR-HD high-definition cameras as well as a low-temperature model of its iCVR D1 dome cameras. Low temperature models help extend the operating range of a camera to -30 degrees Celsius without the need for supplemental heating. This allows them to function in extremely cold conditions.

The all-in-one iCVR video surveillance solutions from VideoIQ are capable of delivering up to full 1080p HD video as well as zero bandwidth recording and zero calibration adaptive analytics. However, they do differ from your typical IP video surveillance systems in that these systems require significant bandwidth and storage capabilities whereas iCVR solutions do not.

VideoIQ's iCVR dome cameras are capable of storing up to 500GB of video captured over many months while at the same time reducing network traffic and bandwidth consumption by more than 90%. In addition to that, the adaptive analytics provided by VideoIQ never need calibrating which eliminates the need to manually tune or adjust the analytics for as long as you have the device. This also dramatically reduces the time and costs of not only installation but also maintenance.

According to VideoIQ President and CEO Ed Bednarcik, "We continue to provide innovation solutions which solve real customers' problems. By offering dome camera models with extended low temperature capabilities, we've made it easier for users to benefit from full high-definition images, category leading adaptive analytics, and distributed storage - even in the most extreme conditions."

Both the low-temperature models of the iCVR-HD high-definition cameras and low-temperature models of the iCVR D1 dome cameras from VideoIQ are available now.
