The cameras have a 20-fold optical zoom and are equipped with intelligent EXIR lighting with a range of up to 100 meters. The highlight intensity is automatically adjusted based on the scene scale.

The movable turntable provides a 360 ° camera rotation range of up to 50 °/s. The vertical slope of the chamber is from -40 to + 30 °. Devices support up to 300 presets for monitoring an object or territory in patrol mode, it is possible to create up to 8 user templates for this scenario. The cameras have an "initial position" function that returns the devices to the preset position after an emergency power outage or reboot.

Rotary cameras PT-Y3220I-D and PTZ-Y3220I-D4 have built-in basic analytical functions - zone intrusion detection and line intersections. Due to the presence of alarm input and output, devices can receive an alarm from an external system (for example, a security sensor) and control actuators (for example, a siren). A ROI (Area of Interest) function is also available to select a particular area of the frame (most informative) and transmit its image in maximum quality, while the rest of the frame will be broadcast at a lower resolution. This reduces bitrate by up to 30% and saves hard disk space. In the PRO-series PTZ-Y3220I-D and PTZ-Y3220I-D 4 cameras, it is possible to install up to two fixed areas of interest.

Of the additional options, image enhancement functions are available - wide dynamic range (digital WDR), 3D noise suppression (3D DNR), rear illumination compensation (BLC).

PTZ-N2204I-D3 и PTZ-N2204I-D3/W

The HiWatch brand has produced compact PRO-series rotary IP cameras for indoor installation. Ergonomic design and miniature case size (125 x 137.2 mm) allow the use of PTZ cameras to monitor safety in limited spaces or in places where compact solutions are needed. The devices are suitable for building a security system in offices, classrooms and classrooms,, hotels stores, etc., the company said Hikvision on June 9, 2021.

The PTZ-N2204I-D3 and PTZ-N2204I-D3/W models have a resolution of 2 MP, a motorized lens, an optical (4x) and a digital zoom (16x). Automatic and manual focusing modes are available for adjusting the PTZ camera lens. The camera with the letter "W" in the name (PTZ-N2204I-D3/W) supports network operation Wi-Fi.

The novelties are equipped with a built-in microphone and can provide audio communication with the object using audio input/output. The audio signal transmitted by the camera is encoded using the MP2L2 codec, which provides a high degree of compression of the file while preserving sound quality, the company noted.

The compact PTZ cameras of the HiWatch PRO-series are equipped with EXIR lighting with a range of up to 20 meters - the illumination intensity is adjusted automatically depending on the scale of the monitoring scene. High photosensitivity provides high-quality image in conditions of insufficient illumination (up to 0.005 lx in h/b mode). Additionally, features for image enhancement are available: wide dynamic range (DWDR), three-dimensional noise suppression (3DDNR), oncoming and posterior illumination compensation (HLC, BLC).

The PTZ-N2204I-D3/W supports microSD/SDHC/SDXC memory cards with a maximum capacity of 256 GB. With an average bitrate and using the H.265 + codec on an SD card of 256 GB, it is possible to record 24 hours a day for up to six days. You can calculate the optimal amount of memory card, recording time and other parameters using the online calculator on the Hikvision website.

In the PRO-series PTZ cameras presented, all basic video analytics are also available: motion and intrusion detection, line crossing, sound event detection and sabotage. The cameras support two power standards: stabilized voltage (DC 12 V) and through the PoE interface.

Motion Detection 2.0

On February 12, 2021, it became known that the HiWatch Pro-series equipment range with updated technical characteristics was entering the Russian market. This series presents all the main product areas that Hikvision works with: cameras, recorders, switches, intercom and access control systems. The HiWatch product line will now be positioned as a Value Series - for simpler installations and budget projects.

Web HiWatch Pro

Already in the name of the Pro-series is the idea that this is equipment with a more functional set of solutions compared to standard products of the HiWatch brand. At the same time, we will continue to develop our products as a Value-series. In addition to the standard product directions that the HiWatch brand has traditionally worked with - and these are recorders, switches and intercom cameras - nonCCTV solutions, that is, security and access control systems, will also appear in the Pro-series. said Maxim Savelyev, product manager for the HiWatch brand, technical expert at Hikvision Russia

As explained, the first Pro-series products that will appear on the Russian market will be IP cameras with an expanded set of technical characteristics. These include increased EXIR backlight range, SD card slot, video analytics, optimized image quality and sensitivity, 3-stream translation, etc. Some functions (such as wide dynamic range, video analytics, SD slot and ANR function) can also be found in individual models of the Value series, but in the Pro series these characteristics will be "basic" for almost all cameras. Also, users will have a wider choice of video camera chassis form factors for installation on different surfaces and for operation in different climatic conditions.

For the Pro-series, you should separately highlight support for Motion Detection 2.0, an updated version of the standard motion video detector. Using it, the video system, when detecting movement in a frame, classifies objects according to human/vehicle types and sends these parameters together with the video image to a network recorder for archiving. Then, when working with the archive, you can select the object type of interest, and the recorder quickly filters and provides the corresponding records. The system will not respond to the movement of small animals, precipitation and other natural phenomena, which minimizes the number of irrelevant alarms.

Motion Detection 2.0 in HiWatch cameras optimizes the performance of the entire security system. Firstly, there is a classification of alarms. Secondly, the time of search in the archive is saved. When using a conventional motion detector - if there were many events related to movement in a frame over a selected period of time - the search among them takes a lot of time. Motion Detection 2.0 solves this problem. said Maxim Savelyev, product manager of the HiWatch brand, technical expert Hikvision Russia

Example of filtering Motion Detection 2.0 records in the recorder archive: All recordings on which there is a human movement are marked in red in the video recording.

Already in the first quarter of 2021, several Pro-series models will appear on the market, including variofocal dome and cylindrical chambers, miniature bullet and turret. In the second quarter, the Pro-series will be replenished with network DVRs, street and internal PTZ cameras, thermal imaging devices. Most devices have a built-in microphone or audio interface with support for AAC/MP3/MP2L2 codecs.

Among the technical characteristics of the camera, the HiWatch Pro-series highlights sensitivity, which provides a brighter and richer image in low light than standard brand cameras (Value-series). The EXIR illumination range in some models of the updated series has been increased from 40 to 60 meters. Also, most devices will support the operation of the wide dynamic range (WDR 120dB) function to obtain a more contractual and detailed image with strong rear illumination and scenes with proper contrast. Another feature of the Pro-series line is the presence of cameras with a motorized lens and autofocus (2.8-12 mm) - the devices are available in two versions of the case, cylindrical and dome.

DS-I214W(B), DS-I250W(B), DS-I252W(B)

On August 5, 2020, Hikvision announced Wi-Fi cameras - DS-I214W (B), DS-I250W (B), DS-I252W (B).

DS-I214W(B), DS-I250W(B), DS-I252W(B)

According to the company, the Wi-Fi camera DS-I214W (B) compact IP camera provides translation of images with a resolution of 2 MPs. The maximum viewing angle is 132 ° (a lens with a focal length of 2.0 mm), which allows you to monitor a large area. A distinctive feature of the camera is the presence of an integrated microphone and speaker - audio processing is carried out using the MP2L2 codec. The camera is equipped with a PIR sensor, which is able to respond to the appearance of a person in the monitoring area and start recording by motion detection. At night or in conditions of insufficient visibility, the image remains clear thanks to EXIR illumination with a range of up to 10 meters - without dark spots and darkening at the corners that are characteristic of conventional IR illumination. The camera also has a slot for SD cards with a capacity of up to 128 GB - in case of a network failure when transferring the image to the recorder, recording will continue to the SD card. The chamber is designed for indoor use, the operating temperature is from -10 to + 40 ° C.

Wi-Fi cameras DS-I250W (B )/DS-I252W (B) devices can already be used for external monitoring: the camera housing is protected from external exposure according to the IP66 standard and they can be operated at temperatures from -30 to + 60 ° C. There is also support for SD cards: the DS-I250W (B) model can work with memory cards up to 256 GB, DS-I252W (B) - up to 128 GB. Audio is transmitted and recorded thanks to the built-in microphone and MP2L2 audio codec. The range of EXIR illumination is already higher than that of the DS-I214W (B) model - up to 30 meters.

All models broadcast images with a resolution of 2 MP, use H.265 +/H.265/H.264 +/H.264 video codecs, which increases compression efficiency to 80%. At the same time, the load on the information transmission network is reduced and image quality is preserved. The devices are made in a concise, miniature design.

DS-I250L и DS-I253L

On July 31, 2020, it became known that the DS-I250L and DS-I253L models became the first IP cameras in the product line of the HiWatch brand to receive support for ColorVu technology. IP cameras transmit a full-color image of good definition when light is low or completely absent. The technology ColorVu expands the capabilities of the HiWatch brand product line for projects in the small and medium-sized business segment, as well as for ensuring the security of private territories.

As explained, the IP cameras HiWatch DS-I250L and DS-I253L use advanced lenses with an aperture of F1.0, soft non-blind LED illumination with a range of up to 30 meters. Another possibility of the ColorVu camera line is the photosensitivity of the matrix: the minimum illumination indicator is 0.001 lx.

DS-I250L и DS-I253L

The models are presented in two versions of the case: cylindrical DS-I250L and dome DS-I253L. The DS-I250L and DS-I253L support the RoI function (area of interest), which allows encoding with maximum quality that area of the frame where the most security-relevant events occur. At the same time, the rest of the image is subjected to more compression, which reduces the load on the data network and saves disk space.

To ensure network security of devices, an IP address filter is implemented. The feature protects cameras from unauthorized connections from IP addresses that are not added to the allowed list.

The cameras operate in the temperature range from -40 to + 60 degrees. They support power supply using PoE technology and from an external 12V power supply.

Full-color image in 24/7 mode with any lighting and even its complete absence makes it possible to ensure security at objects for which 24-hour observation is an important condition. When developing this solution, our main task was to ensure the optimal balance between cost and functionality. said Maxim Savelyev, brand product manager HiWatch

Key characteristics for July 2020 DS-I250L and DS-I253L:

• Resolution 2 MP
• Technology Support ColorVu
• Fixed lens 2.8/4 mm
• Support for H.265 +/H.265/H.264 +/H.264 compression codecs
• Non-blind LED-illumination with range up to 30 m
• Digital WDR
• Dust and Moisture Protection IP67

HiWatch DS-T200L and DS-T203L with ColorVu support

On June 10, 2020, Hikvision announced that it has released HDTVI cameras HiWatch DS-T200L and DS-T203L with support for ColorVu technology. Both models can be used in security systems for projects of various scales.

According to the company, most incidents (theft, illegal entry into the protected area) occur in the dark. Ordinary cameras can capture them, but the quality of the recording will be low: the image is dark, it is difficult to distinguish important details on it, on which the speed of reaction to the incident and the results of its investigation often depend. With ColorVu technology, instead of a compromise monochrome image, the cameras transmit a full-fledged color image with the required level of detail. This was made possible by the use of improved lenses and matrices, as well as "soft" and non-blinding LED lighting, which allows you to form a color image.

Support for ColorVu technology will be an additional point of interest in the HiWatch line, which as of June 2020 is used in the small and medium-sized business segment, as well as for small installations in private projects. said Maxim Savelyev, brand product manager HiWatch Hikvision Russia

ColorVu technology was first introduced on the market in 2019.
