960H security cameras means the security camera can deliver analogue high resolution images at 700 tv lines or 960x480 for NTSC, 960x582 for PAL tv system. As one of leader in developing and manufacturing CCD image sensors and DSP, Sony lunched a new series "Effio" DSP for security market since 2009. As result of inexpensive price, now 960H camera replace other analogue cameras as the main trend in security market.
Although IP camera has already been replaced analog camera becomes the most popular installed security camera in video surveillance industry. There is a still demand for analog HD camera. Dated back to 2013, Sony released Effio series digital signal processor (ISP) to work with 960H CCD, which has the capability to deliver over 650 TVL images. From Sony's statistics, the total shipments of Sony's camera DSP for security use have achieved more than 200 million pieces (At the month of July.2014).
In security field, SONY dominated the CCD and DSP chip market around the world. SONY developed and launched the new generation DSP (Digital Signal Processor) for security camera. The "Effio" (Enhanced Features and Fine Image Processor) DSP provides the advanced OSD menu control with functions of WDE (Wider Dynamic Range), TDN (True Day Night), facial detection, 3DNR (Dynamic Noise Reduction), AGC, ESS....etc. From the SONY official website, the "Effio" DSP combine 960H CCD image sensor can realize the horizontal resolution of over 650 TVlines.
Dated back to 2009, Sony launched its newest "Effio" series image signal processor for working with CCD image sensor, which can deliver 960H/700TVL HD resolution images. The "Effio" series image sensor includes "Effio-E", "Effio-S", "Effio-P", today the Sony launched another two advanced image signal processors "Effio-V" and "Effio-A".
Effio-V (CXD4141GG) and Effio-A (CXD4151GG) are both high image quality which can deliver over 700 tv line resolution images from statement of Sony product's webpage. That means 750 tv line or even 800 tv line security cameras based on Effio ISP will be available in market in near future.
On October 2014, Sony released Xarina CXD4145GG for IP security camera, CXD4145 is the image signal processor to provide image capturing and encoding solution for entry-level IP security camera. It's the latest model among Xarina portfolio. Similar to analog "Effio", "Xarina" is the trading mark for IP video streaming technology products from Sony.
Today Unifore is proud to announce latest Effio-V based security cameras for advanced HD video surveillance system. We will upgrade our exist Effio-P based cameras to latest Effio-V based cameras. This will increase the resolution for the currently security cameras, also bring advanced wide dynamic range functions, as well anti-blur functions to Unifore's cameras.
Video surveillance cameras and video recorders are essential for video surveillance system from residential security to commercial projects. There are diversity of video surveillance cameras and recorders in the market for customer selection.
Effio is a DSP which used in high resolution security camera, SONY lunched this DSP dated on 2009, it's a high resolution (above 650TV Line) DSP work with SONY CCD (960H).
