Multisensor Cameras: High Resolution, Low Cost

The users have always needed higher resolution cameras from the beginning of the production of the first security camera to the present day. In the early 2000s, the security cameras could broadcast up to 720x576 (DVD quality). Although this was a very good value in those years, people's faces could not be recognized and plates could not be read while the records were being viewed.

With technological developments, the resolution of security cameras has increased. Today, it is possible to find 50 megapixel cameras. However, the resolution at this height requires the use of the following:

  • very high bandwidths,
  • expensive sensors,
  • expensive lenses,
  • high lighting at night,
  • a highly developed network infrastructure,
  • large and reliable recording spaces and
  • powerful monitoring computers

.

Solution: Multisensor Cameras

It is possible to send high resolution images of only the places of interest to the center from a single IP address with the multisensor cameras. There are 2, 3, 4 or more high-resolution (2MP, 4MP, 8MP, 12MP, …) economic camera sensors on a camera. You can rotate the directions of these cameras to the places of interest and get a 40-50MP image in total and the expected performance from a 90-100MP camera in a more cost-effective manner.

If you desire, you can arrange the multi sensor cameras in order and monitor and record 180, 270 and 360 degree areas in real time, as if they were capturing images from a single camera. You can only view the places you need in live or recording viewing.

In our present day, the multi sensor cameras have developed so much that there are also models with integrated speed dome cameras.

Places of Use of Multisensor Cameras

We can give examples of the use of multisensor cameras from hotels. You can monitor all 4 corridors by placing 1 multi sensor camera at the intersection of 4 corridors of a hotel. Likewise, only 1 camera is sufficient in the elevator hall.

With multi sensor cameras, you can obtain non-dewarped, high-quality images in the resolution that the face recognition systems can detect (digitally bending and correcting images specific to the fisheye cameras).

The multisensor cameras are also suitable for the outdoor environment. For example, you can view a whole street at 36MP for 180 degrees.
