LAS VEGAS, April 2, 2008 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ — ISC WEST –
OmniVision Technologies, Inc. (Nasdaq: OVTI), the world’s largest supplier
of CMOS image sensors, today announced that its OV7725
(http://ovt.com/products/part_detail.asp?id=192) VGA image sensor has been
selected by leading global surveillance technology innovator, Zavio Inc.,
for use in its next generation F511E Day/Night IP security camera solution.
The F511E, which is expected to launch commercially in June 2008, is a
dual-mode IP security camera designed primarily for indoor security
applications in the commercial and domestic markets. The camera’s dual-mode
employs an automatically removable IR-cut filter mechanism, which enables
superior imaging performance in both daytime and nighttime conditions. By
day, the camera provides full color imaging with the IR-cut filter in
place. As light levels fall, the camera automatically moves the IR-cut
filter to the side and transitions to black and white mode with active
infrared LED illumination, enabling full night vision capability.
The F511E incorporates advanced video features such as simultaneous
Motion JPEG and MPEG-4 real time video streaming, as well as mobile phone
video streaming using 3GPP. The camera also offers integrated multi-window
motion detection, I/O ports for connection to an external alarm or sensor,
Power over Ethernet (PoE), two-way audio with a built-in microphone and the
core of all Zavio cameras, stable and powerful firmware.
“With the F511E, we are providing a very versatile IP camera solution
at a revolutionary price-performance ratio,” commented Mr. Shau-Chau You,
Product Manager at Zavio. “We selected the OV7725 for its best-in-class
performance in all lighting conditions and its low power consumption, both
of which are critical qualities in modern security applications. The OV7725
represents one of the very best solutions on the market.”
“Delivering exceptional low light performance at a reasonable price has
been a key objective for our CameraChip(TM) security vision solutions,”
said Todd Koelling, Senior Director of Marketing - Emerging Product Markets
at OmniVision. “This innovative solution from Zavio is an example of the
benefits of our system-on-chip CMOS cameras, which offer the high quality
standards traditionally linked to CCD based cameras, while dramatically
reducing overall system cost.”
The OV7725 is a highly integrated, 1/4-inch CMOS CameraChip(TM) sensor
that provides the full functionality of a VGA camera and image processor on
a single chip. Built on OmniVision’s proprietary OmniPixel2(TM) technology,
the OV7725 offers unparalleled performance in low-light conditions, and can
operate at 60 frames per second (fps) in VGA mode, or 120 fps in QVGA. The
OV7725 is currently available in volume quantities in a lead-free, 28-pin
CSP2 package. Full product specifications can be found online at
