Hybrid Video System

Network Video Solutions cameras from Canon U.S.A., Inc., of Lake Success, New York, are now compatible with the DigiOp line of digital video recorders from General Solutions, Ltd., of Houston. DigiOp is an integrated hybrid video-management platform that allows for monitoring, recording, and management of both analog and IP video and audio streams. It also connects with access control, central station management, point-of-sale, video analytics, and command-and-control systems. The cameras include pan-tilt-zoom and fixed IP cameras with built-in servers, as well as analog pan-tilt-zoom cameras. The new Canon VB-C300 features a 2.4x optical zoom lens, 4x digital zoom, and a wide-angle autofocus function. It offers power over Ethernet for simple installation and a 310,000-pixel CCD that delivers sharp images of rapidly moving subjects.
