GJD upgrades flagship D-Lite
Heywood, Greater Manchester (UK)
GJD Manufacturing Ltd
has
made significant updates to its
flagship courtesy/security light,
the D-Lite MKII. The second
generation D-Lite utilises the very
latest LED control technology,
providing detector activated il-
lumination for the safety of people
and properties.
Mark Tibbenham, GJD's Man-
aging Director commented: "To
make sure our customers receive
only the highest quality security
products, GJD continually look at
how we can incorporate the latest
technology in our detectors and
security lighting products".
In addition to the existing
instant lighting feature, the D-Lite
MKII includes a soft start and fade
away light option, making it suit-
able for varying different detection
requirements. The upgrade also
offers users significantly enhanced
flexibility, as adjustable time on,
sensitivity and lux level settings are
available. Another new feature is
the adjustable light on time, which
is available for up to five minutes.
Other major advantages
include a smartly disguised PIR,
making it impossible for an
intruder to know the direction the
sensor is pointing. The user also
has the ability to easily change the
positioning of the covert detector
to ensure accurate detection. The
new and innovative D-Lite MKII
is manufactured with an adjustable
detection range available up to
eight metres, paired with a detec-
tion angle of 110 degrees.
This aesthetically pleasing
courtesy/security light is perfect
to welcome guests to a property,
as well as being a robust intruder
deterrent. The D-Lite MKII is
quick and easy to install and is
both energy and cost efficient.

Zipstream lowers bandwidth and
storage requirements by an average of 50 percent
Lund, Sweden
Axis Communications
, the market
leader in network video, introduces
Zipstream technology allowing
customers to benefit from reduced
bandwidth and storage require-
ments without having to invest
in new cameras or software. Axis'
Zipstream technology is fully com-
patible with the widely adopted
H.264 compression standard. The
technology has been developed
specifically for video surveillance
applications and lowers bandwidth
and storage requirements by an
average 50% or more.
"Significant progress towards
better image quality with higher
HDTV resolutions and increased
low-light performance has also
increased the requirements on the
network and storage infrastruc-
ture. With Axis' Zipstream tech-
nology we enable our customers
to drastically reduce bandwidth
and storage needs without com-
promising on important image
details. For example, more than
twice the video footage can now
be stored on SD cards or NAS's in
small systems built on Axis Cam-
era Companion as well as other
edge recording applications," says
Johan Paulsson, Chief Technology
Officer, Axis Communications.
"Axis' Zipstream technology
adds a new module inside the
network camera's video compres-
sion engine which ensures that
important details in the image
get enough attention in the video
stream while unnecessary data can
be squeezed."
Axis' Zipstream technology
analyses and optimises the net-
work camera's video stream in real
time. Scenes containing interesting
details are recorded in full image
quality and resolution while other
areas are filtered out, to optimally
use available bandwidth and
storage. Important forensic details
like faces, tattoos or license plates
are isolated and preserved, while
irrelevant areas such as white walls,
lawns and vegetation are sacrificed
by smoothing in order to achieve
the better storage savings.
Customers can use Axis' Zip-
stream technology alongside other
Axis network camera technologies
such as Wide Dynamic Range -
Forensic Capture and Lightfinder.
As Zipstream is fully compatible
with H.264 and can be used with
Axis Camera Station, Axis Camera
Companion and third-party video
management software installations
already in place.
Axis is making available its
Zipstream technology on the exist-
ing network cameras Axis Q1615,
Axis Q1635 and in the Axis Q35
Series, via firmware updates. The
first new products with Axis' Zip-
stream installed are planned to be
Axis M1124/-E, Axis M1125/-E
and Axis P1365/-E fixed network
cameras, and Axis P3224-LV/-LVE
and Axis P3225-LV/-LVE fixed
dome network cameras.
