LUMENERA CORPORATION INTRODUCES UNRIVALED LE165 NETWORK CAMERA WITH TRUE DAY/NIGHT FUNCTIONALITY

Ottawa, Ontario, Canada – June 27, 2005 – Lumenera Corporation, a leading developer and manufacturer of high performance digital cameras and imaging solutions, today introduced the latest version of its security network camera series offering true day/night functionality. The Le series of innovative network cameras deliver up to 16 times the resolution of standard analog CCTV cameras, and are designed for high-end security applications. The Le165 series is based on Sony ExView HAD, 1.4 megapixel color or monochrome CCD sensor providing output of 15 fps at full (1392x1040) resolution. ExView HAD CCD provides for low light sensitivity below 0.1 lux with extended NIR capabilities. Compressed MJPEG images in live-streaming video and still-image capture are provided across a standard 10/100BaseT network connection. The Le165 is a fully software configurable camera via standard Internet browser or API level interface. Includes support for features such as on-board memory, privacy zones, RS-232 control or PTZ, alarm I/O, motion detection and dc-iris.

Analog vs. Megapixel

Actual untouched analog camera versus Lumenera's Le165 1.4 megapixel network camera (x5 digital zoom, taken at 0.01 lux with 810nm illuminators). True day/night performance with higher 72dB dynamic range, progressive scan CCD clearly visualizes the difference Lumenera cameras offer.

True day/night functionality provides the ability for the network camera to capture high quality images under all lighting conditions. An automated mechanical sliding window removes the IR-filter to provide perfect color in daylight and optimal performance under low light conditions. Removing the IR-filter is an ideal solution for use with NIR illuminator in (ambient) 0 lux environments.

“Lumenera is pleased to introduce this high-performance network camera providing higher quality images in the most demanding lighting conditions”, stated Greg Bell VP Business Development, Lumenera Corporation. "This capability is ideal for homeland security, military, transportation and critical surveillance applications"

Lumenera is pleased to announce that the Le165 camera is available for purchase. Pricing begins at $2,995, with quantity discounts available. As an optional feature, the true true day/night module is currently available with an MSRP increase of $100.
