The first IP video security camera prototype based on TI's DaVinci(TM) technology, has been introduced by Nexvision, a IP network video security solutions company. The power and programmability of DaVinci technology-based processors enables customers to create unique, feature-rich video applications that were previously not possible. The latest technology provides an open camera platform suitable to large area surveillance applications such as public transportation, utility plants and medical centers. These large areas need to rely on cameras that enable monitoring centers to deal easily with the increase in the number of surveillance cameras with advanced features, such as object detection and tracking, traffic surveillance and automatic license plate recognition. The compact size of the camera (13 cm x 13 cm) makes installation quick and easy.


"The integration of DaVinci technology with its open platform enables companies to easily develop advanced security solutions, at reduced bill. The Nexdome Dragonfly features a 360 degree X180 immersive lens on a high resolution five megapixel CMOS 1/1.8 inch sensor, allowing the user to view a full scene or zoom in through a virtual pan/tilt/zoom (PTZ) display without diminishing image quality.
