New Illustra Pro Mini-Domes Gen3 Pro cameras with smart WDR

New Illustra Pro Mini-Domes Gen3 Pro cameras with smart WDR
Johnson Controls has updated its popular Illustra Pro camera family with a new generation of Illustra Pro Mini-Domes featuring Smart Wide Dynamic Range.
Johnson Controls has updated its popular Illustra Pro camera family with a new generation of Illustra Pro Mini-Domes featuring smart wide dynamic range. Offering a choice of 2, 3, 5 and 8 megapixel models and a variety of lens options, the new Pro Mini-Domes are ideal for a wide range of deployments in both medium and large-sized facilities.

Smart wide dynamic range

This new smart wide dynamic range (WDR) technology built into the new Mini-Domes greatly improves the quality of images captured in varying lighting environments. By continuously analyzing the scene, smart WDR, without operator intervention, automatically adjusts tone mapping intensity and optimizes the quality of the captured images by enhancing darkened areas, without oversaturating brighter areas. 

Setup times are also reduced with the addition of configuration profiles, such as auto, LPR, casino, indoor, outdoor, shutter priority, and iris priority, where camera settings are automatically adjusted based on the environment, with a simple click of a button. 

“The smart technology embedded in our latest generation of Illustra Pro cameras automates image tuning and ensures that what you see is always dynamically optimized, even in changing scenes and lighting conditions. We are aiming to reduce operator setup and management costs while always delivering a perfectly configured picture,” said Ric Wilton, director of product management for Illustra. “Adding intelligent, automated capabilities to our solutions is core to our product design and the illustra portfolio.”

Key features

Building off the previous generation of cameras, the Mini-Domes improve on important features such as Illustra IntelliZip bandwidth management, effective failover redundancy, cybersecurity, and video intelligence analytics. 

The new Mini-Domes also offer wide field of view and narrow field of view options, and are packaged in a bubble-free IP66 environmentally sealed and IK10 vandal-resistant housing, instead of a transparent dome cover usually fitted to dome cameras. This negates the potential problem of IR diffused reflection and maximizes image quality, regardless of the camera tilt angle.

Video intelligence analytics 

The new Illustra Pro Mini-Domes feature video intelligence analytics, which means users can offload analytic streaming from network video recorders to the edge, saving time and resources. Users can select from a choice of 10 video analytics tools, including object detection, object abandoned/removed, crowd formation, dwell and perimeter protection in order to set up real-time, user-customizable event alarms which will enable them to respond quickly to any incidents and make the best use of human resources. 

As part of the Johnson Controls, cyber solutions product security program, the new generation of Mini-Domes also has enhanced safeguards against cyber attacks. With cyber-threat resilience in mind, the Mini-Domes feature ‘secure boot’ which prompts the installer to change the default password at the time of installation. Additional safeguard controls include an enhanced security mode which forces the use of complex, non-default passwords and encrypted communications
