Mobotix M16 Thermal Radiometry camera. We like thermal cameras and with Mobotix well and truly hooked up to open platforms, it hard not be warm further to the company’s robust surveillance offerings. Teamed up with MxActivitySensor, thermal is a killer for serious surveillance applications. HID mobile access is not new but it’s been polished for a number of years and we’re keen to see how simple it is to apply to a mobile credential and subsequently use the device to drive a door.
Sony is showing its new Exmor R CMOS sensor in the SNC-VB642D. This camera is a robust and compact external bullet camera with integrated IR that looks like it would be at home in multiple applications. Sony new G6.5 range includes 4K and we’re definitely looking forward to seeing that.
