Ever Focus Electronics Corp., established in 1995, is a specialized maker of a wide range of security system equipment including black-and-white and color charge-coupled device (CCD) cameras, video processors, digital-video recorders (DVRs), monitors, and related peripherals.

The company, which enjoys ISO-9001 certification, boasts that its name is a byword for quality, competitiveness, and innovation-and that it works hard to keep that image, constantly challenging itself to "improve the industry" through vigorous product development, customer satisfaction, and innovative and revolutionary ideas.

EverFocus is proud of its recently introduced product, the EQ550 1/3" super-high-resolution CCD image sensor camera. This new and innovative model incorporates advanced PureVision technology that automatically adjusts camera parameters to ensure sharp, crystal-clear quality.

The company reports that the EQ550 uses a high-level 1/3" CCD image sensor made by Sony of Japan to produce 520TVL color images. The PureVision technology seamlessly boosts the Auto Gain Control (AGC) when the light dims so as to increase the camera's sensitivity. The new technology and the new camera, according to the company, represent the next logical step in intelligent video-surveillance systems.

The new model also has several other attractive features, including excellent high-resolution technology (producing a horizontal resolution of 520 lines), a revolutionary integrated 10-bit digital signal processor (DSP) that delivers outstanding picture quality and overall performance, low-light sensitivity of 0.5 lux/F=1.2 (AGC on) achieved by using the most advanced 1/3" interline transfer color CCD, automatic line lock with external phase adjustment, sharper color images with digital signal processing, ability to use either C-mount or CS-mount lenses, and easy back-focus adjustment.

EverFocus says that its management, its products, and all of its employees fit the description, "ever focusing on tomorrow and caring for today." The company constantly strives to redefine its role in the global market by promoting the most innovative, highest quality, and most advanced products, and its goal is to make each EverFocus product easily to install and to require minimal maintenance. A long-term, extensive warranty is testimony to the company's confidence in its quality.

The company operates out of a headquarters in Taipei and has several branches around the world, including mainland China, Germany, Japan, and the United States. To meet the varying needs of customers worldwide, EverFocus provides consultation, design, production, and certification information. The key factors in success, it believes, are innovation, quality, and reliable customer service.

The firm's products are exported to the U.S. (35% of the total), Europe (20%), Asia (20%), and other foreign countries (20%). About 85% of all products are sold under EverFocus's own brand, with the rest going to original equipment/design manufacturer (OEM/ODM) customers.
