EYE-12- WOLFVISION Advanced Live Image Camera

Description

EYE-10 and EYE-12 are popular high definition LIVE IMAGE cameras, that are used for various live image presentation applications. For example: as a Ceiling Visualizer (without light) when mounted on the ceiling or integrated into a suspended ceiling, or for live room-to-room transmissions. Alternatively, the cameras can be mounted on tripods, pan-tilt zoom mounts or wall mounts designed for video or surveillance cameras.
The EYE cameras deliver top of the line imaging performance as all components used in their manufacture are of the same high end specification as those used for WolfVision‘s Visualizers.
Large Zoom Range
A large optical zoom range is one of the most important features of a Live Image camera, because only an optical zoom can pick up objects in full resolution. WolfVision Live Image cameras feature a 12x optical zoom which offers the possibility to pick up objects as large as an architectural drawing and as small as a postage stamp in full size to fill the screen. For enlarging even smaller objects the EYE-12 and EYE-10 also offer 4x and 2x digital zoom respectively.
Power over Ethernet (PoE)
The LAN port of the EYE-12 includes Power over Ethernet functionality. A popular way of saving cables and installation costs.
Trigger Function (EYE-12)
In “trigger mode“ the EYE-12 only shows a new image when it receives a trigger signal from an external
unit. This is very useful for surveillance and machine vision applications. Unlike most recording devices that cannot start recording in a fraction of a second, the trigger function freezes the live image output by the EYE-12, thus recording the exact image.
High End Camera
EYE-12 features a high definition 1-CCD camera giving 820 lines of visible resolution in every part of the picture, including the edges, as WolfVision only uses high end camera lenses. It can output native resolutions of SXGA-, WXGA and 720p.
Infrared Remote Control / Integrated Keypad
For ease of use the EYE cameras have large and clearly arranged keys on the remote control and on the integrated keypad. The infrared remote control allows for maximum flexibility in operation, and the infrared reception is excellent due to the built-in and external infrared receiver (with 10m cable).
Internal Image Memory
The user has the opportunity to store 9 (EYE-12) or 4 (EYE-10) images and recall them by just pressing one of the numerical keys on the infrared remote control.
Anti-Theft Device
WolfVision‘s EYE Series cameras are equipped with T-Lock (Kensington® Lock) anti-theft devices.
USB Device Port / Connectivity Software (EYE-12)
The EYE-12 can be connected to a computer using the USB 2.0 or the LAN port. Communication is possible via the WolfVision Connectivity Software or a dedicated WIA, Twain or video capture driver. The supplied Connectivity Software allows for saving still images and videos onto a PC or Mac, controlling the unit, updating the firmware, adding annotations, instant printing of camera screenshots and even streaming live images over a network. Firmware updates allow new features and technical improvements to be added at no cost.
LAN Port / Additional Network Features (EYE-12)
The LAN port is a key feature of the EYE-12. It makes the camera a part of the internal computer network, and it can be used for communication over the Internet, if it is assigned an official (WAN) IP address. Administrators of a large number of cameras can use the LAN port to control, support and update all of their units from their local desktop PC. It can be used for controlling, capturing still images, viewing live video streams, firmware updates, adjustments, menu settings and maintenance purposes. The EYE-12 offers streaming of live images directly from the camera (without a connected PC) in Singlecast (unicast) and Multicast mode.
External Controlling
A wide range of connectivity options ensures that effective external controlling is possible from devices such as a room control system, a videoconferencing system or a computer. This is a major difference as compared to consumer oriented HD camcorders. EYE-10 and EYE-12 can be perfectly remote controlled with the keypad on the unit, with the supplied infrared remote control, or via the serial port (RS232). Additionally, the EYE-12 can be controlled via the USB or LAN port.
