Efficiency Algorithms: Nobelic Surveillance Camera Review 2019

Nobelic models remain our most sought-after cameras and there are many reasons for this.

From the start of sales, we did not change the characteristics of the devices, but were engaged in the development of the service. Even the most popular camera is only half the success, the software is responsible for the rest.

The truth is that Ivideon is a service, program code, algorithms, and the camera is the entry point to the service. Based on this principle, we have decided to reduce (permanently) the price of Nobelic. Now it is easier (and more profitable) to use the service.

So far, we consider Nobelic to be the most optimal entry point to Ivideon. And why this is so - we will tell further.


Nobelic has changed the way we think about sales. It's funny to remember that we positioned the first models as a universal solution for the home. Practice has shown that we were wrong.

It soon became completely clear that cameras were chosen not only for home use, but also for office use. Shops, fitness clubs, gas stations, hairdressers, cafes - all ignored our marketing calculations and bought "home" cameras. 44% of our users, after purchasing a Nobelic camera, connect the cloud archive and switch to paid plans.

Nobelic models can be described as full-fledged boxed solutions for quickly organizing a simple, secure and efficient video surveillance system. But first things first.

Optimal minimalist design

If we talk specifically about the design of models, then it can be described as strict, no frills, but with recognizable elements of the "author's style". However, judge for yourself.

From left to right: NBQ-1110F with Wi-Fi, NBLC-1110F-MSD with POE, NBLC-3130F-WSD outdoor camera with Wi-Fi.

We call the first two chambers "triangle" and "cookie". By the way, who will guess why a cookie, and not, for example, a brick? Write in the comments of the version.

We thought that white color would help the cameras to fit perfectly into any modern office or residential interior.

As always, life has made its own adjustments. We were asked: “Everything is ok, but where are the black cameras?”

Efficiency Algorithms: Nobelic Surveillance Camera Review 2019

I had to get black ones. With rounded edges.

On the front side of the devices are a lens, camera status LED, infrared light, microphone and speaker.

Efficiency Algorithms: Nobelic Surveillance Camera Review 2019

All switching ports are located on the back side, there is also a secret reset button.

On the bottom cover of the camera is a slot for a microSD card up to 128 GB.

What's included? Unboxing rustling ASMR

We put everything you need in the box so you can quickly set up the cameras and get started, except for our beautiful stickers. Write if you like the stickers and want to see them in the box.

Efficiency Algorithms: Nobelic Surveillance Camera Review 2019

In addition to the camera, in the box you will find a power adapter, a mounting template, 3 self-tapping screws with dowels, and a user manual. The package also includes a branded bracket that allows you to easily fix the camera in the desired position.

Efficiency Algorithms: Nobelic Surveillance Camera Review 2019

In fact, the camera can simply be placed on a flat surface - it will work. Or magnetize to any piece of iron - for this, the 1210 series has a magnetic base.

Recall that the presence of a mounting template will help, if necessary, to quickly mark the points for drilling mounting holes in the place where the camera is mounted. All you need is a pencil, a drill, a drill and a screwdriver.

Capabilities

First of all, we note the extended operating temperature range: from -10 to + 45 °С. Such characteristics are now typical for any device. Even on the iron they will write like that. Nobody thought anyone would take it seriously.

It turned out that way - literally. Cameras are used not only at home or in the office, but also, for example, in the garage.

We used to think that Ivideon appealed to those who wanted maximum comfort. No DIY, soldering iron and a robot made from a little sister, a camera and tape. Everything is simple, clear, act strictly according to the instructions.

In 2019, we have to admit that we underestimated users. Otherwise, how else to explain that someone began to use the camera outside of its official characteristics. So and write: “The camera is designed for use indoors with temperatures up to minus ten degrees, in fact it can work even at temperatures below the declared ones. At minus 15 it works, I didn’t check it further. ”

The Nobelic NBLC-1110F-MSD has a 1,3-megapixel sensor that produces an image with a resolution of 1280 x 960 pixels. And the lens used with a focal length of 2,8 mm provides a camera angle of view of 95 °.

The characteristics of the matrix do not allow using it to track down a bear at night in the taiga, but for solving everyday office and home tasks, this is a 100% hit on the target.
Moreover, with such a picture, even our face recognition system and other analytics will work without problems. Another argument in favor of the fact that the division of cameras into “home” and “for business” is conditional.

For those who need to see thirty meters, there are advanced specimens in the series. So NBLC-1410F-WMSD equipped with a 4-megapixel sensor that allows you to get video with a resolution of 2688 x 1520 pixels with a viewing angle of 106 °.

Thanks to a powerful built-in infrared illumination system (effective at a distance of up to 10 meters), all major models record a detailed and high-quality picture, regardless of the lighting conditions. Even in complete darkness, you can see everything that happens in the field of view of the camera, however, in black and white. But we still do not recommend tracking bears.

You can set up the detector yourself, as well as change many other parameters through the mobile application

Built-in motion detection activates video recording only when necessary, so as not to waste resources. Plus, when it is triggered, you will automatically receive e-mail and push notifications. So, even when you are outside the facility, you can always be aware of what is happening.

A microphone integrated into the camera will help you quickly control the situation in the protected area, and the presence of a speaker allows you to use it in the voice video communication mode.

This functionality can be useful in various life situations, for example, when monitoring a child (remote babysitter function) or a pet.

Some will object, they say, the built-in audio path of most cameras is not of high enough quality and the animals will not obey you. For those who doubt the quality of the cameras, we have posted a selection of real videos recorded with them at the end of the article. Watch, listen and evaluate the quality of video and sound. As the experience of operating such devices in most cases shows, pets very quickly adapt to the owner's voice sounding from the speaker and willingly follow his commands.

Note that the availability of network Ethernet and Wi-Fi controllers in the models provides high switching flexibility. In addition, when working with our Ivideon cloud video surveillance service, cameras can use data encryption with an asymmetric key. For the entire period of operation of this technology, not a single fact of hacking encrypted data has been recorded. Manufacturers of even more expensive systems cannot boast of such statistics.

By the way, when purchasing other cameras (for example, Xiaomi Yi Home Camera 720p), which, as a rule, broadcast a video stream in an open form, you should not be surprised that your private life can become public. We also note that many Chinese cameras do not use data encryption when connected via the Telnet protocol.

Of course, we strive to be open, but not as open.

As they say, if the safety of privacy and personal data is important to you, take care of it yourself. And our system will help you with this.

The undoubted advantage of Nobelic devices is the ability to record video sequences on an external microSD card. Thanks to this, you can quickly and without unnecessary operations get a copy of the video on physical media. Cards up to 128 gigabytes are supported, double that of many competitors.

You can also make a copy of the video directly through our cloud service. Get information in any way convenient for you. Plus, this hybrid storage technology will reliably protect you from any technical failure.

For your convenience, applications for working with cameras via mobile devices have been created. based on iOS и Android. They have a high rating. On Google Play, we achieved a score of 4.5 out of 5 with over 2 million downloads, which is literally one of the best results in the industry.

Efficiency Algorithms: Nobelic Surveillance Camera Review 2019

The video cameras can be powered either from the included network adapter or (for some models) via an Ethernet terminal using PoE technology.

We create a video surveillance system

You can create your own video surveillance system using Nobelic using the technology of our cloud service in just a couple of minutes. To do this, just install the camera in the right place.

Efficiency Algorithms: Nobelic Surveillance Camera Review 2019

Cameras can be quickly connected and configured by any user who knows how to work with a smartphone. To easily connect to our service, you can use the QR code by reading it in the application. You no longer need to bother and pay for a static IP address, set up an address translation table on the router, and do many other settings.

At the moment, our service is the only video surveillance platform built on the basis of geographically (dynamically) distributed data centers that provide work at the same level of quality for users around the world. Thus, users of Cambodia and Ryazan see the same Ivideon service.

For home video surveillance systems, there is a free plan that supports up to 15 cameras in one account. This is enough to control your home. In addition, you can transfer access rights to each connected camera to two other users for free.

Do you want to give access to more users or share the broadcast so that thousands of people connect to it? These opportunities open on tariffs for business.

Efficiency Algorithms: Nobelic Surveillance Camera Review 2019

You can view video from cameras both using a PC and using a tablet or smartphone after installing the application.

All settings of the camera operating modes are carried out in your personal account or in the application. You can also configure motion and sound detection there. To do this, you must select zones in the frame, the activity of which will be monitored and analyzed. Thanks to this, you can avoid the camera reacting, for example, to the movement of trees from the wind.

There was a very interesting case in our practice. One client had 2 cameras out of 20 installed to monitor the back of the building, which was fenced in to prevent product theft. He set up a motion detector, marked activity zones, but after a certain time he began to complain about false alarms from cameras. The reason turned out to be simple: the fact is that a ventilation “fungus” got into the designated activity zone. And when a lot of equipment was working in the shop, fluctuations in heated air caused false alarms in the detector. Of course, we helped to fine-tune the activity zone.

All Nobelic cameras support Ivideon video analytics out of the box, in particular, you can connect to them face recognition system.

Real Video Examples

An example of how the Nobelic NBLC-1110F camera shoots under artificial lighting conditions (such terrible words are scientifically called light in the office):

Play Video

In this video, you can see, first of all, a wide viewing angle and accurate color reproduction (and this is very difficult to achieve when using fluorescent lamps). The footage is devoid of the characteristic flickering noise that usually spoils the picture recorded under fluorescent lighting.

Also pay attention to the quality of shooting a moving object, the high sensitivity of the microphone and the quality of speech transmission. Even small details are distinguishable in the image, and dynamic fragments of the video sequence are recorded as smoothly as possible, without annoying jerks and other artifacts.

And here is an example of a night video shot using the Nobelic NBLC-1110F:

The shooting was carried out in complete darkness using standard infrared illumination. The image makes it quite easy to recognize and identify not only the object of observation, but also objects of the surrounding interior.

The following Nobelic NBLC-1110F video is interesting for two reasons.

First, we paid attention to the work of the camera's sound path. And secondly, the shooting was carried out at various levels of backlight, so that you can evaluate the quality of the camera in such difficult lighting conditions:

When watching a video, listen to how accurately and clearly the camera's audio path works with sound. The speech of the company's employees and the sound from the flying ball are transmitted by the camera with virtually no distortion or delay. And the excellent work of the video path in the backlight allows you to see the picture with maximum detail. Sometimes it seems that we are watching a recording not from a video surveillance system, but from a professional video camera.

At the end of the story, evaluate the video about the operation of the Push-to-Talk function. Recall that with its help, using the microphone and speaker built into the cameras, you can send voice messages:

All you need is a smartphone and our proprietary app.

Cost Nobelic NBQ-1110F 5 500 rub.

With PoE 5 900 rub.

Other cameras of the Nobelic series you will see in shop. Many models have been reduced in price by more than 10%
