Suekage Sangyo has shown off a new surveillance system, "SOIOS +alpha," that combines a 360-degree, omni-directional video camera with functionality for relaying images to a 3G phone. The system's CCD camera takes video images reflected on a hyperbolic mirror, 55mm in diameter. This omni-directional optical sensor is called "SOIOS." As its effective angular view, SOIOS has an ascending angle of 12 degrees and a descending angle of 50 degrees, measured vertically from the mirror's focal point, over a 360-degree horizontal field of view.

Live video images are transmitted via IEEE 1394 from the camera to a personal computer, and from the computer to a server. The live video can be viewed by accessing a designated URL from the user's computer or mobile phone.

The newly developed component in SOIOS +alpha is the notification system. On detection of an intruder, SOIOS +alpha sends an e-mail notice over the Internet to the user's computer or mobile phone. It also has functionality to produce a FOMA-compliant video clip of the intruder (approximately 15 seconds long) and send it to a computer or one of Japan's DoCoMo 3G handsets.

Because the SOIOS omni-directional optical sensor can cover 360 degrees in one shot, it does not need the drive component required in conventional surveillance cameras. This makes for a more compact, low-cost system.

According to Suekage, SOIOS systems have already been installed as Webcams (without a notification system) in kindergartens, where they are used so that parents at home can keep an eye on their children.

The company hopes to have its SOIOS security system ready for release in January
