Hitachi VK-S654N Zoom Chassis Camera, NTSC

The Hitachi VK S654N is a RoHS-Compliant compact chassis-type camera designed for surveillance of various sites under a wide range of light conditions. Even high-contrast scenes can be captured without glare or loss of detail thanks to the Wide Dynamic Range design.

The Hitachi VKS654N is a RoHS-Compliant compact chassis-type camera designed for surveillance of various sites under a wide range of light conditions. Even high-contrast scenes can be captured without glare or loss of detail thanks to the Wide Dynamic Range design. A reliable built-in x35 optical power zoom lens allows the user to monitor a scene from any angle. Combined with x12 digital zoom, the total zoom ratio is x420. Maximum digital zoom ix x2 when EIS is activated. Record high quality video directly to your hard disk. Say goodbye to grainy images and troublesome lines with progressive recording. Use this new function for cleaner, better quality video.

Hitachi's EIS function allows for the ultimate video experience. By automatically eliminating blurry, jumpy images the VK-S654N can be mounted in a vehicle to give crisp, easy-to-view images. Hitachi's Wide Dynamic Range Technology uses two shutter speeds in alternative video fields and combines two fields into one progressive scan frame. The highly sensitive F1.4 lens allows detailed capture of images even in a mixture of over-bright and dark scenes.

APPLICATION USE

→ Traffic Management: Monitoring and responding to ongoing road activity in residential and business areas.
→ Telepresence: Conference type solutions in business or learning institutions.
→ Low Vision Magnifier: Video technology for sight impaired individuals.

Advanced digital signal processing (DSP) technology ensures outstanding color reproduction and low light performance, capable of capturing details such as facial features, clothing, and automobile colors that can serve as vital evidence. Setting a new standard for imaging quality, night or day, the Hitachi VKS654EN marks another phase in the evolution of high-quality digital surveillance systems.

35x optical zoom lens with 12x digital zoom (Diagram)
A newly designed 35x auto-focus optical zoom lens delivers enhanced resolution, clearly capturing subject details at a distance. Proprietary Hitachi auto-focus control makes it possible to track rapidly moving subjects, while the addition of a 12x digital zoom delivers a maximum zoom factor of 420x. The improved lens design produces crisp clear details, even in peripheral areas of the image.

Outstanding color reproduction
Advanced digital signal processing ensures outstanding color reproduction. Characterized by superior ability to accumulate available light, the high-performance CCD produces sharp, clear images even in challenging lighting conditions. And accurate color reproduction enhances security performance in a variety of surveillance scenarios. This digital surveillance camera can capture details such as facial features, clothing, and automobile colors clearly and accurately, producing true-to-life surveillance images that can serve as vital evidence.

Technology for low-light performance
High-performance CCD teams with digital signal processing to achieve outstanding low-light performance, capable of capturing images in standard mode at a minimum subject illumination of 1.0 lx.

Frame noise reduction (Diagram)
Hitachi's frame noise reduction minimizes random noise and after-images often associated with moving subjects, making this high-performance unit suited to a variety of surveillance scenarios. Producing clear, sharp images even in challenging low-light conditions, this technology also facilitates image compression in network camera systems.

Digital slow shutter
Digital processing boosts sensitivity to a maximum of 1/1 second exposure time, making it possible to capture bright, clear images in a variety of lighting situations.

Removable IR cut filter (Diagram)
In daylight conditions, the IR cut filter ensures clear, highquality color images. At night or in other very low light situations, the IR cut filter is automatically removed to allow capture of bright, high-contrast black and white images.

Wide dynamic range (Diagram)
When a surveillance scene includes bright and dark areas, alternate images are captured at optimum exposure for both levels of illumination, and the resulting two fields are combined into a single frame. This produces clear, glare-free images in a variety of lighting conditions, such as entrances with varying levels of indoor/outdoor illumination and situations where backlighting can make it difficult to identify facial features.

Progressive scanning (Diagram)
Conventional surveillance camera systems using interlaced scanning are not capable of producing clearly identifiable images of moving cars or people. The interlace method uses two scans to create a single image frame, producing jumpy, poorly defined images when still images are pulled from the video feed. Progressive scanning incorporated in the Hitachi VK-S654EN records the frame in a single sequential scan, creating sharp, high resolution still images, with clearly defined lines and contours.

Electronic image stabilization (Diagram)
Based on Hitachi's track record of pioneering image stabilization technology, electronic image stabilization compensates for vibration or movement of the camera, automatically minimizing image blur.

Digital output ensures exceptional image quality (Diagram)
The Hitachi VK S654EN relies on digital output to ensure lossless, noise-free image data, maximizing camera performance and preserving the exceptional quality of captured images. Digital output is a REC656 data stream (YUV422, synchronous embedded 8-bit signal, interlaced output), compatible with a large number of encoder ICs.

Privacy zone masking function (Diagram)
This function makes it possible to mask the camera's view of areas subject to privacy concerns, such as windows and entrances. The position and size of the mask is maintained, even when the camera pans, tilts or zooms, making this unit particularly suitable for surveillance of public areas.

Motion detection
This function triggers an alarm when motion is detected in designated areas of the surveillance frame. Motion detection can be activated in as many as eight frame blocks out of a total of 64.

Digital image flip (Diagram)
Images can be flipped vertically or horizontally, enabling tracking of subjects moving underneath the camera in a single continuous shot.

Built with the environment in mind
The RoHS-compliant VKS654EN meets guidelines for permissible levels of lead, mercury, cadmium, hexavalent chrome, PPBs and PBDE, making it an ecofriendly way to implement high-tech surveil-lance.

Compatibility facilitates system upgrades
The VK-S654EN offers effortless upward compatibility with the VK-S654R/ER, making it easy to upgrade and incorporate the latest technical advances in your surveillance systems.
