Security Camera Turns Night into Day
NEC Australia has launched a new night vision camera that could bring new levels of security and surveillance to Australia’s ports and other high-risk infrastructure.
The NC-R550 delivers high resolution moving colour images in almost complete darkness, using only starlight, and has the capacity to view long distances while retaining excellent sharpness and clarity.
Unlike traditional night vision cameras, the NC-R550 displays high resolution colour moving images instead of standard green images, providing a clearer and more detailed picture.
Lance Heather, Senior Product Specialist and Business Development Manager, NEC Australia said: “This advanced technology has been tested around Asia with excellent results. We see a great market in Australia for this technology.”
