High-performance digital surveillance

Engineered for exceptional image quality

camera with 35x optical zoom

Advanced digital signal processing (DSP) technology ensures outstanding color
reproduction and low light performance, capable of capturing details such as facial features,
clothing, and automobile colors that can serve as vital evidence. Setting a new standard for
imaging quality, night or day, the Hitachi VK-S654N/EN marks another phase in the evolution
of high-quality digital surveillance systems.

35x optical zoom lens with 12x digital zoom

Optical zoom permits confirmation of facial features.

A newly designed 35x auto-focus optical zoom lens delivers
enhanced resolution, clearly capturing subject details at a
distance. Proprietary Hitachi auto-focus control makes it possible
to track rapidly moving subjects, while the addition of a 12x

digital zoom delivers a maximum zoom factor of 420x. The
improved lens design produces crisp clear details, even in
peripheral areas of the image.

Technology

E.I.S. on.

Wide dynamic range

When a surveillance scene includes bright and dark areas,
alternate images are captured at optimum exposure for both levels of
illumination, and the resulting two fields are combined into a single
frame. This produces clear, glare-free images in a variety of lighting
conditions, such as entrances with varying levels of indoor/outdoor
illumination and situations where backlighting can make it difficult to
identify facial features.

Progressive scanning

Conventional surveillance camera systems using interlaced
scanning are not capable of producing clearly identifiable images of
moving cars or people. The interlace method uses two scans to
create a single image frame, producing jumpy, poorly defined
images when still images are pulled from the video feed. Progressive
scanning incorporated in the Hitachi VK-S654N/EN records the
frame in a single sequential scan, creating sharp, high resolution still
images, with clearly defined lines and contours.

Electronic image stabilization

Based on Hitachi’s track record of pioneering image stabilization
technology, electronic image stabilization compensates for vibration
or movement of the camera, automatically minimizing image blur.

Outstanding color reproduction

Advanced digital signal processing ensures outstanding color reproduction. Characterized by
superior ability to accumulate available light, the high-performance CCD produces sharp, clear
images even in challenging lighting conditions. And accurate color reproduction enhances security
performance in a variety of surveillance scenarios. This digital surveillance camera can capture
details such as facial features, clothing, and automobile colors clearly and accurately, producing
true-to-life surveillance images that can serve as vital evidence.

Technology for low-light performance

High-performance CCD teams with digital signal processing
to achieve outstanding low-light performance, capable of
capturing images in standard mode at a minimum subject
illumination of 1.0 lx.

Frame noise reduction

F.N.R. off.

Hitachi’s frame noise reduction minimizes random noise and
after-images often associated with moving subjects, making
this high-performance unit suited to a variety of surveillance
scenarios. Producing clear, sharp images even in challenging
low-light conditions, this technology also facilitates image
compression in network camera systems.

F. N.R. on.

Digital slow shutter

Digital processing boosts sensitivity to a maximum of 1/1
second exposure time, making it possible to capture bright,
clear images in a variety of lighting situations.

Removable IR cut filter

Color camera without removable IR cut filter

Bright Scene

The degree of the removable IR cut filter’s effectiveness varies with the type
and intensity of the light source.

In daylight conditions, the IR cut filter ensures clear, high­quality color images. At night or in other very low light
situations, the IR cut filter is automatically removed to allow
capture of bright, high-contrast black and white images.

Dark Scene

Digital output ensures exceptional image quality

The Hitachi VK-S654N/EN relies on digital output to ensure lossless, noise-free image data, maximizing camera performance
and preserving the exceptional quality of captured images.

Privacy zone masking function

Image from
conventional camera.

  This function makes it possible to mask the camera’s view

of areas subject to privacy concerns, such as windows and
entrances. The position and size of the mask is maintained,
even when the camera pans, tilts or zooms, making this unit
particularly suitable for surveillance of public areas.

Motion detection

  This function triggers an alarm when motion is detected in

designated areas of the surveillance frame. Motion detection can
be activated in as many as eight frame blocks out of a total of 64.
