Johnson Controls Unveils New Illustra 4K Camera, Cloud-Powered Cams
Johnson Control adds a bullet model to the Illustra Flex 4K camera line and updates the Smartvue platform to work with Tyco’s new Cloud-powered surveillance cameras.
MILWAUKEE — Johnson Controls unveils the addition of a bullet form factor to Tyco’s Illustra Flex 4K camera line.
Featuring an IP68-rated housing, the Flex Bullet camera is well-suited for exterior applications of small to medium size offices, retail boutiques, schools and small bank branches looking for a camera that can withstand harsh environments.
Illustra IntelliZip provides bandwidth management beyond H.264 and H.265, reducing network bandwidth and video storage requirements, according to the company.
This embedded technology continuously monitors and optimizes system streaming parameters to match the level of activity within the camera’s field of view, offsetting the added video storage required when streaming at 4K resolution.
The camera also features true day/night and true wide dynamic range, in addition to adhering the security standards of the Tyco Cyber Protection Product Security Program.
Tyco’s Smartvue Gets New Updates, Additions
Johnson Controls also launched a new line of Cloud-powered network video surveillance cameras, Tyco’s Smartvue Camera 2 Cloud.
JCI says Smartvue Camera 2 Cloud offers a secure, simple to install, easy-to-use Cloud-based video surveillance management service — no on-site servers, storage or components are needed.
Additional cameras can be added and controlled through Cloudvue, a single pane of glass interface that’s accessible anywhere, anytime on any device.
The integrated service enables secure, centralized global management of cameras, providing support for local privacy requirements and regulations across 140 countries, according to the company.
“Demand is growing for trusted Cloud-based video surveillance solutions,” says Martin Renkis, CEO of Smartvue Cloud and IoT video services at Johnson Controls. “Offering this new secure and cost-effective add-on to our proven Cloud platform creates new video-as-a-service opportunities for our partners and simple solutions for our customers.”
The Smartvue Cloud provides live or recorded video surveillance that can be viewed on any smartphone, tablet or computer using a web browser or native mobile apps.
