Vicon Introduces a New Portfolio of 5 MP Corner Mount Cameras to Their Award-Winning Roughneck AI Line

Vicon Industries, Inc., a subsidiary of Cemtrex Inc. (Nasdaq: CETX, CETXP), designer and manufacturer of video surveillance and access control software, hardware, and components, announced today the launch of its new portfolio of vandal-resistant, fixed IP cameras that deliver 5 MP coverage in a wide variety of indoor applications. They will be showcasing these new cameras at ISC West 2023 in Las Vegas. Attendees can see them in action at the Vicon booth #5081 from March 29-31 at the Venetian Expo.

Corner mount cameras are uniquely designed to provide complete coverage of a room, making them ideal for a wide variety of applications—especially where there is a risk of tampering or destruction. Vicon’s new series of Roughneck^®AI corner cameras includes a new standard Corner Camera, an upgraded V-CELL High-Security Camera, and a camera module for V-CELL retrofit opportunities.

“Our new suite of 5 MP corner cameras delivers the industry’s highest resolution for this class of cameras, plus a 2.4 mm lens that gives a nice wide-angle view of the room,” said Bob Germain, Vicon’s Director of Camera Products. “Add to that the built-in mic, which allows for recording of audio evidence, and the Starlight low-light technology that lets users see color in near-dark conditions,” added Bob.

The new Roughneck AI Corner Camera provides wall-to-wall and floor-to-ceiling coverage of small to medium areas like elevators, waiting rooms, classrooms, lobbies, and observation rooms. Its small, unobtrusive footprint is aesthetically appealing in any environment.

Vicon’s renowned V-CELL High Security Camera—already considered best-in-class for correctional facility applications—has been redesigned, inside and out. All of the features that make this camera unique remain intact, including its stainless-steel anti-ligature design, its impact-resistant construction and secure tamper-resistant mount, and its water and corrosion-resistant components.

“Customers worldwide already love the V-CELL,” said Germain. “And now it’s been upgraded from 3 MP to 5 MP, and it also incorporates non-visible IR, which eliminates that visible glow, so the resident won’t be distracted or alerted that the camera is on.”

Additionally, Vicon now offers a V-CELL Camera Module Replacement Kit, which lets customers upgrade their existing V-CELL installed base with these new and improved cameras—complete with their 5 MP resolution, non-visible IR, and Starlight low-light technology.

“We know there’s a huge installed base of V-CELL Cameras already in place in correctional facilities worldwide, and our ability to upgrade them to the latest camera technology will be a great advantage,” said Bret McGowan, Sr. Vice President of Sales and Marketing. “In keeping with their anti-ligature nature, their frames are literally cemented to the wall, which can make it challenging and costly to replace them with new cameras. Until now,” continued McGowan.

This new V-CELL Camera Module Replacement Kit has a three-step swap-out process: unscrew and remove the old camera module (just three screws). Plug in the new camera module using the single component connector. And replace the screws. Because the camera and all electronics are mounted on that removable front plate, there’s no need to remove the entire frame just to install the new camera.
