Vicon Introduces New Features and Enhanced Performance on its SurveyorVFT Camera Domes

Hauppauge, NY, June 11, 2009: Vicon Industries Inc., a leading designer and producer of video surveillance systems, has introduced several enhancements to their line of powerful SurveyorVFTä camera domes. The line includes cameras that offer 22X, 22X with ExViewä, 23X and 35X zoom in standard indoor and outdoor, impact-resistant and pressurized housings.

All SurveyorVFT domes now offer enhanced auto focus performance, eliminating the need for any manual adjustments.

The 23X and 35X cameras now offer higher, 540 line resolution, with the 35X model also offering progressive scan to reduce blurring and enhance overall image quality. Digital Noise Reduction (DNR), which increases camera sensitivity and improves performance in low-light situations, is now featured on the 23X camera and will be available soon on the 35X camera.

The SurveyorVFT domes in pressurized housings now offer on-screen readings for the pressure value, temperature and humidity, making it effortless to perform diagnostics on an on-going basis.

“Our SurveyorVFT domes are considered the best-in-class, industry-wide, and we are pleased to continue improving on that tradition,” said Bret McGowan, Vicon’s VP of US Sales and Marketing.

Model numbers and ordering information for the cameras has not changed. For more information on Vicon and Vicon products, visit www.vicon-cctv.com.
