Versions of the V940 IP models Produce full-color video streams in near-dark conditions Dome and bullet confi gurations
e Starlight versions of the company’s V940 IP cameras are said to produce full-color video streams in near-dark lighting conditions. e low-light cameras are available in dome and bullet con gurations with ultra-high-sensitivity to 0.002 lux and 0.0006 lux, providing full-color images when standard cameras would switch to black and white. Where other cameras may fail to show any image at all, Starlight cameras reportedly are still capable of delivering detailed monochrome images to improve video-exposure quality in scenes with high contrast between bright and dark areas.

Lighting-control platform The PowerHUBB platform is a combination of software and controls, luminaires and infrastructure. It uses intelligent sensors, intuitive user interfaces, and scalable PoE technology together. A POE node acts as an intelligent lighting hub by receiving power and data from the network switch. This is passed to daisy-chained device nodes. As light fi xtures and devices are connected to the network, the node will automatically discover and report those devices back to the system for plug-and-play functionality.
