International. Hikvision was awarded again. Its PanoVu 360-degree panoramic camera was recognized as the Best CCTV Security Product through video in the 2017 version of the prestigious awards given by GIT SECURITY magazine.
The GIT SECURITY awards, which are given annually, are one of the most competitive in the world. The 75,000 readers of GIT SECURITY and GIT SICHERHEIT nominate and vote for the products, and then three winners are chosen in each of the categories. GIT SECURITY and GIT SICHERHEIT are the most widely circulated security magazines in Europe, the Middle East and Africa, and Germany.
The 16MP PanoVu DS-2DP1636-D camera delivers distortion-free 360-degree images with ultra-high definition quality. Eight independent 1/1.9" progressive scan CMOS image sensors are seamlessly integrated into each camera. These 8 cameras merge with the powerful PanoVu 36x optical zoom PTZ unit and intelligent tracking features to ensure no detail is lost within the panoramic scene. In addition, the cameras of this series capture color images of great detail with high resolution in light conditions of just 0.002 luxes. This allows for permanent 360-degree monitoring, an ideal feature for open public spaces in congested urban centers.
The combination of 360-degree panoramic viewing and a powerful PTZ in a single unit reduces costs and technical complexity while simplifying installation, as users can replace multiple cameras with a single PanoVu. Its integrated design uses a single Ethernet cable and a single power supply cable, which speeds up its installation and simplifies its configuration.
Hikvision International's Chief Marketing Officer, Keen Yao, says the GIT SECURITY award is a great honor and an important recognition of the work done by Hikvision's dedicated designers. "We are very pleased to receive this prestigious award from the very informed readers of this respected magazine. The PanoVu series cameras have a simple and clean design and a compact structure that offers ultra high definition panoramic images, perfectly integrating video from several sensors into a single unit. We believe it is the best-equipped state-of-the-art panoramic solution on the market."
Hikvision's PanoVu series is designed for large-scale security monitoring applications such as stadiums, city centers, airports and parking lots. The product family offers 8 MP, 180-degree, and 16 MP, 360-degree models. This way, users can select the ideal model for their specific surveillance applications.
In April 2016, Hikvision's PanoVu series also received the iF design award, recognized worldwide as a symbol of design excellence.
