u High performance day/night camera for perimeter
surveillance and critical asset monitoring
u Integrated Intelligent Video Analysis (IVA)
u Black Diamond Infrared Illumination Technology
The ZX55‑IP is an Infrared Imager for long range,
critical outdoor Day/Night surveillance applications.
The ZX55‑IP features a 9‑90 mm lens, powerful Black
Diamond infrared illumination and a powerful
processor for Intelligent Video Analysis (IVA). The
ZX55‑IP also provides night imaging up to 300 m
(1000 ft) resulting in unparalleled performance for
long range 24/7 surveillance applications.
To effectively monitor critical assets and long
stretching perimeters, the ZX55‑IP incorporates a
9‑90 mm varifocal lens. Narrow or wide angle shots are
possible for the preferred field of view, with the
system capable of delivering identification-level
performance to 100 m (330 ft), providing the ability to
distinguish facial features.
This high level imaging is also delivered with lower
network bandwidth impact than standard IP cameras.
The weather-rated ZX55‑IP features top and side
sunshields to reflect heat in applications that expose
the unit to intense direct sunlight. The integral flowthrough-vent also allows airflow to directly cool the
high performance system and lower internal
temperatures. The ZX55‑IP is ideal for critical
applications such as force protection, perimeter
surveillance, and critical asset monitoring.
