Press Release Summary: Has new shell on all-weather cameras affected their technical characteristics? How will practical usage of the newly designed cameras change?
Press Release Body: The technical depart of Acumen Int. Corp. Russian Division has answered these questions. The new all-weather camera shell in practice only increased their value. Some inconveniences associated with increased time of the camera's initial setup are offset by overall enhancement of its reliability and longevity. The new shell design of all-weather cameras Acumen better protects the camera's lens from sunlight than the old equipment. The new camera body is designed such that camera's own LED lights do not interfere with camera functionality. No matter how small the angle of LED lights, there is some defocusing of the camera is present when a minute quantity of the IR radiation is reflected from the visor back to the camera. The new shell design has removed the visor from the body of the camera thus increasing the sensitivity of video surveillance at night. New camera design improved construction of the front glass. This membrane now consist of two glass panes each reacting to two different wave length preventing the light from LED lights interfering with the quality of video from the camera. The new design allows the possibility of installation of aspheric lens which enhances the sensitivity of the camera and minimizes distortion of the output image.
The new shell of all-weather cameras has improved air-tightness which allows for visor-less design. The new shell gives the camera better protection against accidental fall by using the new mounting hardware of the camera's internal electronics. To address the question of overheating due to camera's black color, the technical department proved the ability of the cameras to work with ambient temperature in excess of +197F (92C). The test also proved that although cameras have stopped transmitting video signal in temperatures above +197F, the functionality of the cameras was restored as soon as the temperature was brought below critical.
