Pixim Inc. has raised $5.1 million, extending a $15 million round raised in 2007.  Pixim came up with a way to create pictures with high-dynamic range, where the camera can make out both the dark and bright details in a high-contrast photo. It works great for security cameras that are positioned in areas where there is both bright sunlight and deep shadows.  Just about every maker of security cameras has embraced Pixim’s Orca chip set because it’s easier to make out the faces of people in security images thanks to the technology. The company competed against in-house chips of major companies such as Sony, but fewer of those companies are still relying on internal design teams.  Customers shipping Pixim chip sets in their security cameras include: GE Security, Honeywell, JVC, and Siemens.
