Illustra Flex Features:

IntelliZip provides superior bandwidth management

All of the Flex 3MP cameras feature IntelliZip compression technology which provides powerful bandwidth management beyond H.264 and H.265 to reduce network bandwidth and video storage requirements. This embedded technology continuously monitors and optimizes system streaming parameters to match the level of activity within the camera’s field of view. When the camera detects motion, IntelliZip automatically adjusts the video quality to ensure every detail within the region of interest is captured clearly. When the scene becomes static, IntelliZip continues to optimize bitrate.

TrickleStor technology provides edge-based failover redundancy

The new TrickleStor feature allows video recording to continue when an outage occurs. If communication between the NVR and cameras is interrupted, the camera automatically detects the anomaly and begins recording to its internal micro SDXC card, storing up to 128GB of video. Once the connection is restored, the recorded video is then seamlessly transferred back to the NVR’s hard drive.

Included in Cyber Protection Program

The next generation 3MP cameras adhere to the rigorous standards set forth by Tyco Security Products Cyber Protection Program (CPP). The CPP mandates an extensive and systematic approach to developing, configuring, and supporting physical security products and systems that help manage the risks associated with cyber-attacks and meet IT security demands. The new Flex 3MP cameras meet these requirements and employ multiple user access levels, IP address filtering, user access logs, and IEEE 802.1x for additional security.

True WDR 120dB for superior image clarity in challenging light conditions

Illustra Flex 3MP cameras deliver superior HD 1080p video at 60 frames per second using H.264, H.265, MJPEG, or IntelliZip compression technologies and feature a P-Iris lens for optimal image clarity. The box, bullet and outdoor mini-dome include an integrated IR illuminator that provides high-quality video up to 25 meters in even the worst lighting conditions.

True Day/Night functionality for quality video recording in low light conditions

Using the very latest True Day/Night technology, the cameras maintain image detail in scenes of varying light conditions (e.g., doorways and windows) with, and automatically switch between color, and black and white mode depending on the ambient illumination level allowing the camera to maintain crystal clear images day or night.

Motorized lens for ease of focus and zoom operator control

The cameras feature a motorized lens which makes it very easy to focus and zoom, eliminating timely and error-prone manual adjustments.

Excellent options for indoor or outdoor surveillance

All of the new Flex cameras feature motion detection that instantly alerts operators of any intruder activity, and blur detection to ensure the cameras are in focus at all times. Additionally, the new mini-domes are IK10 rated ensuring they can withstand external impacts that might occur if an intruder was attempting to take the camera out of operation. The outdoor mini-domes and bullet cameras are IP67-rated which ensures protection against dust and water, making them ideal for outdoor applications.

Easy to install and set up

The Illustra Flex 3MP cameras use a built-in web server for easy configuration. When used with the Illustra Connect software tool, discovery, snapshot, configuration, IP address assignments, diagnostics, and firmware upgrades take no time at all. The camera use Power over Ethernet (IEEE 802.af) which eliminates the need for cables and reduces installation time and cost. Other time-saving features include:

  • Motorized focus and zoom
  • Easy-to-remove recessed mount
  • 375°pan and 3 axis gimbal (mini-domes)

A Product Portfolio with cameras for any application

Because of its compact design and affordable price, the Flex 3MP Box Camera is best suited for small to medium size offices, retail boutiques, schools, and bank branches looking for a cost-effective camera.

Featuring a tough exterior, the Flex 3MP Bullet Camera is ideal for exterior applications of small to medium size offices, retail boutiques, schools, and small bank branches looking for a rugged camera that can withstand harsh environments

The Flex 3MP Mini-Domes feature a recessed mounting option, allowing them to be covertly installed in a variety of both interior and exterior locations such as the cash register terminal at a retail store or above a drive-thru ATM.

Improved Camera Performance

With camera performance and image quality being the two most important factors for the school, the new Illustra Pro cameras give them the opportunity to cover all entry and exit points on campus and see critical details in areas with no sunlight. The strong integration between exacqVision VMS software and Illustra cameras simplified the deployment and optimized the performance. exacqVision automatically discovers cameras and addresses in exacqVision with EasyConnect.

exacqVision recorders with Kantech Onboard reduce the hardware expenses and amount of rack space needed with the access control system pre-loaded on the network video recorder. The recorder came pre-loaded and pre-licensed with Kantech EntraPass Corporate access control system software at no additional cost.  With the integration of access control and video into one system, they were able to improve response time to critical alarms and events. With exacqVision CameraLinks, school operators can quickly access the most needed commands from live view and further search video evidence associated with entry and exit points.

“The installation went absolutely seamlessly. We prewired extra IT points where cameras were going to be and when it came time to connect everything to the network, they were snapped in and up and working right away. It was a great experience.”
