Vista, the UK’s premier brand of electronic security equipment, has won the ‘Best Security Innovation’ award for Vista eclipse™, its groundbreaking 360º camera. The award was presented to Andrew Pigram, Vista Brand Director at the Security Excellence Awards on 4 October at the Hilton Hotel, London.

Andrew Pigram, Vista Brand Director, was delighted to receive the award: "For the second time in six months, the Vista eclipse™ has won a major industry award, a rare feat in an industry where new products are launched almost daily. This award confirms our belief that the Vista eclipse™ is the most exciting development in security camera technology for many years."

Based on the innovative yet proven IMTERA™ processor, the Vista eclipse™ is ideal wherever full situational awareness is essential to a successful surveillance operation. Particularly suitable environments include sensitive locations such as cash rooms, retail outlets, interview rooms, safe rooms, pubs, public areas and other locations where a permanent unrestricted field of view is essential.

The advantages of Vista eclipse™ extend well beyond panoramic vision, believes Andrew Pigram. "Because of the way the unit is designed and operates, installation and maintenance savings can be made by employing the Vista eclipse’s multiple ‘virtual cameras’ to replace several conventional fixed and high speed dome cameras. So Vista eclipse™ should be considered an alternative to some traditional multi-camera installs as well as being an addition to the 360º camera market."

The latest version to be launched before the calendar year end includes an integral digital video recorder which includes full 3 mega pixel image recording.  Replayed images can then be de-warped, zoomed, pan/tilted just like live, making it an even more compelling proposition as a standalone installation.

Exclusive to Vista, the Vista eclipse™ is only available through Norbain, Video Imaging Supplies and Network Video Centre.

Technical Note:

The Vista eclipse™ camera captures a single fisheye image that generates two completely independent analogue outputs. Each of these can then display any combination of image view from full 180º panoramic view to up to four virtual cameras (VCAMs), each with independently controllable ‘electronic’ Pan Tilt Zoom (ePTZ) functionality. Intelligent 360º video processing enables advanced alarm functionality that includes the automatic assignment of virtual cameras for motion detection and alarm activation. Superior subject tracking is provided, with the active "VCAM" automatically tracking any movement within the camera’s field of view. Vista eclipse™ motion detection algorithms use state of the art background analysis techniques to minimise false alarms. Motion detection automatically triggers a VCAM while the camera continues to monitor the full panorama. Containing no moving parts and with all required imaging software embedded in the camera itself, the Vista eclipse™ requires no external software or PC’s and is easier and cheaper to install than conventional and 360º alternatives.
