Toshiba IK-1000 Camera is 30X More Sensitive to Light Than Standard Low-Light Surveillance Cameras
Filed Under Product News, Toshiba
Toshiba introduces a new revolutionary design low light color security camera that is in a class of it own. The IK-1000 camera is so advanced it leaves low-light CCD, thermal imaging and image intensifier security cameras in the dark and at a fraction of the cost. A camera so versatile that it can reproduce color images in full motion in moonless starlight conditions as well as daylight conditions.
Incorporating a back-illuminated electron-multiplying CCD or EMCCD, a technology previously found only in scientific cameras, the IK-1000 is certain to have a profound influence on the future of video surveillance, extending night-time color video capabilities to military, aviation, public utility, coastal ports and other high-value asset security applications.
The IK-1000’s EMCCD sensor amplifies very low light signals above the read noise floor of a CCD, eliminating read noise and rendering the camera “single photon” sensitive for use in overcast starlight conditions. The 1/2-inch CCD (658 x 496) delivers 420 TV line resolution with a maximum sensitivity of 1m lux @ F1.2 or approximately 30 times that of a standard low-light camera. The EMCCD sensor, coupled with the camera’s 12 dB gain control function, provides even sharper images in illumination levels at or above moonlight. In fact, the camera operates across the entire light range, from bright sunlight to overcast starlight, making it ideal for 24/7/365 surveillance.
Other key features contributing to the success of the new IK-1000 include: RS-232C camera control, 60 field per second frame rate, 16-area selectable backlight compensation, and compact dimensions (2.3 x 2.3 x 5.2 inches) that makes the camera easy to incorporate virtually anywhere.
