Honeywell HCCWD484X Specifications

HCCWD484X

WIDE DYNAMIC CAMERA

T

he HCCWD484X from Honeywell Video Systems is the ideal camera for environments

with high contrast and changing light conditions. Using Next Generation Image Capture

Technology, images are converted from analogue to a digital format within each pixel

immediately after the image is captured. Even in high-contrast lighting conditions, the

HCCWD484X delivers higher-quality images; significantly better dynamic range (120dB

max) and higher frame rates than conventional CCD cameras.

Another area where the HCCWD484X separates itself from the competition is proper

exposure of each pixel. While conventional cameras record every pixel in a frame with

the same exposure time, the HCCWD484X records each of its 388,800 pixels at its

optimum exposure time. This results in correct colour rendering and capturing of

details in all applications including high contrast scenes with shadows and glare, where

CCD cameras would render the same scene washed out or under exposed. Next

Generation Image Capture Technology also eliminates multiple processing steps prior

to being digitised and stored, which significantly reduces noise. This delivers crisp,

high-resolution images without the presence of image artefacts, such as blooming or

smearing, in both moving and still pictures.

Market Opportunities

The HCCWD484X from Honeywell Video Systems is a cost effective surveillance

solution designed for locations where high contrast and variable light conditions exist.

Setup is quick and easy and the HCCWD484X can be customised with on-screen

displays and preset modes providing optimum performance for both indoor and

outdoor applications including: lobbies, atriums, vestibules, gated entrances, foyers,

loading docks and driveways.

owerful new features offer exceptional performance for high contrast lighting conditions.

Wide Dynamic Range Capabilities

Since every pixel can have its own exposure time optimised, high contrast scenes with shadows and glare, such as

loading bays and lobbies, can be properly exposed through the entire field of view. The minimum 95 dB of dynamic

range eliminates the need for selecting a portion of the scene to be properly exposed using backlighting compensation,

but instead allows the entire scene to be properly exposed.

Preset Scenes

The HCCWD484X offers five preset scene settings to ensure fast installation and setup of the camera.

These include:

General Scenes High contrast scenes with no specific optimisation for light or dark areas

Fluorescent Office environments lit with fluorescent lighting having low dynamic range

Indoor General indoor scenes

Outdoor Outside environments and high contrast scenes where the camera is focused on the darker

areas of the scene

User Defined Allows the user to adjust the dynamic range of the camera to optimise the image for a

given lighting condition

Progressive Scan for Sharper Images

The HCCWD484X image pr

ocessor uses pr

ogressive scanning technology to render a sharper picture than is

produced by interlaced scanning technology used in conventional CCD cameras. The image is also smoother with less

visual artefacts as there is less of a time delay in rendering the pictures captured by the individual pixels than there is in

trying to combine two complete images that are captured sequentially.

Low Light Per

for

mance

The HCCWD484X offers 0.4 lux of low light sensitivity, which is the best of any of the ultra wide dynamic range

cameras on the market today. Honeywell offers three Vari-Focal Auto Iris lenses which have the widest maximum

apertures of comparable lenses having the same focal length range. These are the HLD29V8DNL, 2.9 – 8 mm F0.95,

the HLD27V13DNL, 2.7 – 13.5 mm F1.3 and the HLD5V50DNL, 5 – 50 mm F1.6. The HCCWD484X combined with

one of Honeywell’s Vari-Focal Auto Iris lenses offer the best low light performance of any ultra wide dynamic camera

system in the market today
