The F511E, which is expected to launch commercially in June 2008, is a dual-mode IP security camera designed primarily for indoor security applications in the commercial and domestic markets. The cameras dual-mode employs an automatically removable IR-cut filter mechanism, which enables superior imaging performance in both daytime and nighttime conditions. By day, the camera provides full color imaging with the IR-cut filter in place. As light levels fall, the camera automatically moves the IR-cut filter to the side and transitions to black and white mode with active infrared LED illumination, enabling full night vision capability.

The F511E incorporates advanced video features such as simultaneous Motion JPEG and MPEG-4 real time video streaming, as well as mobile phone video streaming using 3GPP. The camera also offers integrated multi-window motion detection, I/O ports for connection to an external alarm or sensor, Power over Ethernet (PoE), two-way audio with a built-in microphone and the core of all Zavio cameras, stable and powerful firmware.

"With the F511E, we are providing a very versatile IP camera solution at a revolutionary price-performance ratio," commented Mr. Shau-Chau You, Product Manager at Zavio. "We selected the OV7725 for its best-in-class performance in all lighting conditions and its low power consumption, both of which are critical qualities in modern security applications. The OV7725 represents one of the very best solutions on the market."

"Delivering exceptional low light performance at a reasonable price has been a key objective for our CameraChip(TM) security vision solutions," said Todd Koelling, Senior Director of Marketing - Emerging Product Markets at OmniVision. "This innovative solution from Zavio is an example of the benefits of our system-on-chip CMOS cameras, which offer the high quality standards traditionally linked to CCD based cameras, while dramatically reducing overall system cost."
