Samsung has introduced a new mini camera range suitable for unobtrusive surveillance, such as ATM monitoring applications. The SCB-3020/2020 high-resolution cameras provide a horizontal resolution of 600TV lines and a low light level of 0.45Lux. Especially designed for ATMs to assist in the prevention of crime, these cameras keep a close watch on cash deposit/withdraw, while at the same time blanking out the sensitive PIN information. In addition, there are advanced options that include coaxial control (such as with the SCP-300, VPS (Virtual Progressive Scan) and intelligent video function.
The SCB-2020 and SCB-3020 are 600 TV line mini day/night cameras incorporating the Samsung A1 DSP chipset. They measure just 44.5 44.5x 20.1mm, have a built-in 3.7mm lens and are supplied complete with a mounting bracket.
Both cameras provide a privacy masking facility to blank out sensitive areas, such as the PIN keypad on an ATM machine. They are also both equipped with a long list of technically advanced features such as Digital Noise Reduction (DNR) and Digital Image Stabilization (DIS) to deliver images of the highest quality.
Coaxial control compatibility (CCVC and a multi-language on-screen display are just some of the additional user friendly features which make the SCB-2020 and SCB-3020 easy to use and operate. Built-in video analytic, including virtual fence line and loiter detection, adds intelligence to enable security teams to be alerted to suspicious behavior.
The SCB-3020 features Wide Dynamic Range (WDR) which is able to balance the image in challenging lighting conditions whilst progressive scan prevents blurring upon playback of fast moving subjects.
"Although ideal for ATM applications, the extremely well priced SCB-2020 and SCB-3020 are likely to prove an attractive option for installers who are looking for a compact camera with a small footprint which can, for example, be fixed onto a retailer's cash desk," said Peter Ainsworth, Senior Product Manager for Samsung Techwin Europe Ltd.
As is the case with all Samsung professional security products, the SCB-2020 and SCB-3020 are offered with full support services from Samsung Techwin Europe Ltd, including free system design, free technical support and a full three-year warranty.
