Infrared camera captures colour video in pitch black
Sharp has developed the industry's first infrared colour night-vision camera capable of capturing colour video in pitch-black (zero lux) environments, the LZ0P420A. The infrared colour night-vision camera will be marketed to corporate customers such as security camera system manufacturers.
Equipped with an IR colour night-vision CCD developed jointly by Sharp and the National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology (AIST), the camera uses near-infrared light for illumination to enable colour images to be captured in total darkness (zero lux) - a first for the industry.
In addition, this infrared colour night-vision camera takes high-definition images (at 1280x720px resolution) with smooth video capture at 30fps. Its single-sensor system uses a single CCD chip, enabling a more compact camera size. This camera is also compatible with standard HD-SDI output, making it an easy replacement for existing camera systems.
The infrared colour night-vision camera allows users to capture video with a high level of visual recognition at any hour of the day or night. Beyond deployment in conventional anti-theft cameras, it will find use in a broad range of applications, for example, in monitoring patients in hospitals and nursing homes.
