  1. Nightwolf March 2012 The Best Imaging Night and Day

  2. Nightwolf Nightwolf • Optimized imaging solution for IR-assisted cameras • Based on the existing Seawolf chip • Enhanced firmware and camera system architecture Enabling… • Elimination of IR hot spots • Capture of both foreground and background detail • Reduction of camera cost compared to other “smart” IR approaches

  3. IR Hot Spot Problem Woman’s identity completely obscured Common issue encountered with IR-assisted cameras

  4. Solving the Hot Spot Problem Many CCD cameras try to solve the problem • “Intelligent IR”, “Smart IR”, etc. All of these “solutions” require a compromise • Background detail is lost in order to see foreground • Exposure time is reduced, or • DC iris is closed limiting IR light at the sensor, or • The IR LEDs are dimmed Nightwolf is a no-compromise solution • Foreground and background detail are properly maintained • No DC iris is required • IR LEDs always illuminate at full strength (and specified distance)

  5. CCD Camera Tradeoffs OR Background detail lost To avoid hot spot saturation, CCD solutions lose the background to preserve the foreground Foreground detail lost CCD Camera CCD Camera

  6. The Nightwolf Advantage Nightwolf CCD Camera Nightwolf avoids IR hot spots capturing foreground and background details

  7. Other “Intelligent IR” Methods Fail Background and side detail lost Nightwolf CNB “Intelligent IR” Nightwolf allows the IR illuminator to maintain full strength so the camera can operate at its specified distance while capturing background and foreground detail

  8. Effio-P vs Nightwolf Effio-P fails to capture important facial detail Effio-P Nightwolf

  9. Samsung vs Nightwolf SV-V camera completely fails to capture intruder Nightwolf SCB-3001

  10. Seawolf Nightwolf Color & TDN Cameras without IR-Assist IR-Assisted Color Cameras Camera depends on available visible light and uses slow shutter modes to compensate for low light levels. IR illuminator provides light when visible light is not present, eliminating the need for slow shutter modes. Complementary Products

  11. Product Positioning Nightwolf Yes Yes Yes No* Yes Applications Lobby, Outdoor, ATM Office, Retail, Bank Gas Station, Outdoor Retail Restaurant, Casino, Bar Garage, Campus, Perimeter Scene Bright Color Indoor Color Mixed Color Dim/Dark Color Dim/Dark IR Assist Seawolf Yes Yes Yes Yes No Use Nightwolf for optimized IR-assisted imaging. Use Seawolf for color imaging in low & dim lighting. * Nightwolf turns on LEDs and changes to IR-assist mode

  12. Nightwolf Promotion Pixim will heavily promote the Nightwolf brand • Throughout the channel: OEMs, integrators, distributors, users • Advertising, web features, articles, case studies, promos • 30+ industry trade shows in 2012 Nightwolf Promotional Tools • New Nightwolf brand logo and icon • Presentations • Press releases • Cut sheet & A&E Spec • Brochures • Side-by-side images • Training modules • Joint customer visits
