International. Hikvision, the world's leading provider of innovative video surveillance products and solutions, is proud to announce the receipt of the prestigious iF Design Award for its PanoVu Series DS-2DP1636-D 16MP camera with 360-degree panoramic view. The annual iF Design Award is recognized as a symbol of design excellence worldwide, attracting more than 5,000 submissions from 70 different countries, being judged by a panel of more than 60 design experts.
The PanoVu camera provides 360-degree Ultra HD distortion-free images with 8 x 1/1.9" CMOS progressive scan sensors in a single camera. This allows users to replace multiple cameras with a single multi-sensor unit – reducing costs and reducing technical complexity. Its all-in-one design provides easy-to-use installation and configuration via a single Ethernet cable and a single power supply cable. The minimum illumination of 0.002 Lux in color mode indicates that full 360-degree control is available.
Hikvision's director of international marketing, Keen Yao, said the iF Design Award is a great honor and recognition of the work done by Hikvision's dedicated engineers.
"We are thrilled to have received this prestigious award from such an esteemed and influential organization," he explained. "The PanoVu Series features a simple, clean design and a compact structure that provides ultra-high definition panoramic images that seamlessly integrate video from multiple sensors within a single unit. We believe this is the best-equipped high-end panoramic solution on the market."
Hikvision PanoVu Series has been designed for large-scale security control applications such as stadiums, city centres, airports and car parks. The product range is available in 8 MP, 180 degree and 16 MP, 360 degree variants, allowing users to select the ideal model for their specific surveillance application.
The iF Design Awards have been presented annually since 1954. Each year, the iF International Forum Design invites with submissions from around the world in seven disciplines: Product, Packaging, Communication, Interior Architecture, Professional Concept, Service Design and Architecture. Hikvision's award is for surveillance cameras in the Product discipline.
