Chapter 2 - 36x Outdoor Speed Dome
Network Camera Overview
The Brickcom OSD-040 36x series is a high-end, Speed Dome network camera
designed to provide high-quality video surveillance for outdoor environments. By offering
H.264/M-JPEG/MPEG-4 triple codec compression, it is able to provide a flexible system
which does not require high bandwidth or storage capabilities.
The advanced features of the OSD-040 36x series work together to create crystal-clear
video surveillance. By adopting a powerful 36x optical zoom lens with auto focus, it can
easily provide clear close-up shots of objects. The Sony Super HAD II CCD sensor
with Effio DSP(Digital Signal Processor) and removable IR-cut filter significantly improve
the light sensitively of the OSD-040 36x series, providing excellent surveillance in both
day and night settings. When its Wide Dynamic Range (WDR) sensor, the camera
can handle extreme variations of brightness within the same sense. The WDR sensor
averages out the very bright and very dark areas to create a more even evenly exposed
video scene which is close to what the human eye would see.
Along with high-level sensors, the OSD-040 36x series is equipped with a fast and
precise pan/tilt mechanical design. The 360ocontinuous pan and -10o~190otilt
combine with a rotation speed of 0.5o ~400oper second to provide complete coverage of
every angle. With such powerful pan, tilt and zoom capabilities and a weather-proof
casing (IP66), this camera is perfect for environments where precision and reliability are
key; such as railway stations, airports, warehouses, and production facilities.
