Tyco Illustra Flex Gen3 Cameras From: Johnson Controls Security Products (formerly Tyco Security Products)

Johnson Controls has added eight new models to its Tyco Illustra Flex IP camera range.

The new third generation Flex mini-dome (indoor/outdoor), compact mini-dome, and bullet cameras are available in 3MP and 8MP options. The 3MP Flex Gen3 models supersede their respective older models, and are designed to offer high-image quality and are a feature rich surveillance option for a wide range of applications. The 8MP Flex Gen3 models are offered in addition to the respective 8MP Flex Gen2 models, and for the first time augment advanced analytic events to the Flex series of cameras.

Powerful Technology to Increase Confidence and Savings

The Flex product family cameras feature built-in technology that ensure efficient recording and smart bandwidth management. When paired with a VideoEdge or exacqVision NVR, edge-based failover redundancy allows video recording to continue on the camera when a network disruption occurs or the NVR is offline, then when connection is restored transfers video back to the media database for seamless viewing later. Illustra® IntelliZip continuously monitors and optimizes system streaming parameters to match the level of activity within the camera’s field of view.

Key features

The eight new cameras have increased maximum frame rates and video intelligence analytics (8MP models – Advanced Analytics and Face Detection subject to future firmware release). The new Compact cameras now benefit from integral IR and are factor-focused which speeds up installation times.

Other key features include secure boot protection, increased IR illumination performance, and a new generation of image sensors.

Innovation is at the heart of these new cameras and this extends to the deployment of them. Using the Tyco illustra App and the compatible WiFi dongle, camera install and set-up has just got easier and quicker.
