NUUO and CIEFFE announced partnership

NUUO, world’s leading NVR technology and software manufacturer, and CIEFFE, focused on design and implementation of digital technologies in Integrated Security Systems, have recently announced their partnership.

CIEFFE is a surveillance devices manufacturer with a series of outstanding quality network cameras, the “Nettuno” camera series. And yet, NUUO is pioneering in providing advanced and comprehensive surveillance solution, the “IP series” surveillance management software.

This synergy not only does create mutual benefits, but also can build collaborations on technical and marketing demands. Together, both companies committed to enhance surveillance systems, and to bring the ultimate achievements to the end-users.

CIEFFE launches World's First Megapixel Camera

CIEFFE’s newborn NETTUNO MegaPX is the world’s first Megapixel camera capable to elaborate images using an MPEG4 compression algorithm. 20 times more effective than traditional JPEG, MPEG4 Main Profile algorithm provides a huge saving in bandwidth requests (less than 1 Mbps at the highest resolution), reducing traffic and storage costs.

MPEG4 compression is managed by a dedicated DSP with proprietary firmware, that can be updated over the network if new algorithms are implemented.
The IP camera can send through the network high-res images – 1600 x 1200 or 2 Mpixels – at 15 fps, or real time images with a 1280 x 960 resolution (1,3 Mpixels).

The "SIE" also known as the "Super Image Enhancer" places the EasyView Cameras Line above the rest of the traditional Domes Cameras in the market by enhancing the images with features like Super BLC, Super Low Light, 550 TV Lines, DNR, and more. For specifications, go to our Product Section, and download the newly updated spec sheets on the bottom of the products. Please contact your distributor for pricing and details on these cameras.
