Camera systems stream video

Edited by the Engineeringtalk editorial team Apr 13, 2007

Southern Vision Systems' StreamView and StreamView-LR high speed camera systems can stream high-resolution video for hours on end to a host computer, allowing them to be used for surveillance.

Southern Vision Systems (SVSi) has added the StreamView and StreamView-LR high speed camera systems to its product portfolio.

Both camera systems are capable of streaming high-resolution video for hours on end to a host computer for high-speed monitoring and surveillance applications.

SVSi's expanded high-speed camera lines make high-definition slow-motion analysis affordable and convenient.

Both StreamView and StreamView-LR have the capability of streaming video directly to host RAM for several seconds or to host hard disk array for several hours.

StreamView is a networked high-speed camera capable of streaming uncompressed 1280x1024 images at 65-frames per second, 640x480 at 250-frames a second, or 320x240 at 1000 frames a second to a host computer at distances up to 91m over gigabit Ethernet.

StreamView-LR streams 640x480 at 200 frames a second, 640x380 at 250 frames a second, or 320x240 at 400 frames a second.

When streaming to a host computer with disk array, continuous recording times over eight hours can be achieved.

StreamView and StreamView-LR can be bundled with a computer to create a complete video recording system tested to customer specifications.

Recording times either to RAM or HDD are 12 seconds per Gbyte.

By accessing host RAM just as if it were inside the camera, these systems are very efficient and cost-effective high-speed video recording platforms with expansion capability.

For trouble shooting applications, StreamView sets the industry standard for long record time monitoring.

When immediate recognition of an event is not possible because of location, hostile environment, or automation, StreamView and StreamView-LR can monitor for a full eight-hour shift with no need for complicated and unreliable triggering mechanisms.

Because it doesn't need to tie into a PLC or machine vision system, setup is easy and reliable.

Both camera systems come with software that can be installed and functioning in minutes.
