LAKE SUCCESS, NEW YORK, April 7, 2003 -- The NU-700N Network
Controllable Pan/Tilt/Zoom (P/T/Z) system from Canon U.S.A.,
Inc., a subsidiary of Canon Inc. (NYSE: CAJ), will debut
at NAB 2003 (National Association of Broadcasters, April
7-10, Las Vegas). A complete turnkey system, the Canon NU-700N
brings the company’s reputation for very high quality
video, durability and outstanding support to a wide range
of remote applications.
With the Canon NU-700N, users now can take advantage of
the company’s renowned P/T/Z head technology for building
exterior and warehouse monitoring, weather and traffic surveillance,
and outdoor security. The Canon NU-700N combines a ¼”
3 CCD Canon video camera with a built-in 20X optical zoom
lens and 5X digital function for a powerful 100X zoom range.
All are contained under a rugged outdoor housing with a
rain wiper. When connected to Canon’s optional network-camera
server, the system can be connected to the Internet or a
LAN via a non-proprietary protocol control panel, or computer,
enabling image acquisition and the control of camera functions
(including camera pan, tilt, zoom, and focus) from anywhere
with network access.
Features of the Canon NU-700N include:
· A complete body design that allows it to blend
in naturally with buildings and city landscapes. A built-in
rain wiper and defrost effect make excellent video images
possible even under adverse weather conditions.
· Exceptional video quality from Canon optics and
a 3 CCD camera with 410,000 pixels per CCD (NTSC).
· Powerful 20X optical zoom lens (4.2 – 84mm),
plus digital zoom feature that will extend the focal length
up to a maximum of 100 times.
· Video auto focus for improved operability.
· Flexible connectivity, either to a LAN or the Internet
through an optional camera server.
· Non-proprietary protocol allows users and system
integrator to provide a third-party server or controller,
for easy integration with other systems.
