Rugged day/night speed dome camera from Eagle

July 2004 Surveillance

The E-MIC1-400 dome, available from Eagle Technology, is a unique concept in dome camera design. This compact pan/tilt/zoom camera has been designed to be used in areas where standard speed domes and PTZ cameras cannot survive or are not suitable.

Completely weatherproof the units are rated to IP68 and can be used submersed in water. They are virtually vandal-proof and constructed from 6 mm aluminium. This makes them resistant to impact from stones, bricks, air gun pellets and even shotguns.

A wide range of mounting options is available. These include vehicle mounts, top-of-pole mounts and mounting options which are not possible with conventional speed dome cameras.

Many CCTV PTZ cameras use potentiometers (Pots) with wipers for positioning which are limited in both life and accuracy. The E-MIC1-400 uses resolvers (a contactless positioning sensor) which results in extremely accurate presets and no life limitation on preset tours. The superior performance of the resolver system allows the camera to return with pinpoint accuracy to the same preset position even at high zoom settings. A built-in high resolution colour camera and lens unit, with optical zoom and digital enhancements, complete the design making it virtually a 'plug-and-play' device thus cutting down installation time. Options for the E-MIC1-400 include an external wiper as well as a range of infrared illuminators which can be supplied fitted to the unit.

Applications for the E-MIC1-400 include:

* Traditional CCTV: in town centres, car parks, railway stations and shopping malls.

* Broadcast: Big Brother series, sport events, music concerts.

* Rapid deployment: police vehicles, building site security, perimeter security, temporary installations.

* Hazardous environments: nuclear, seafronts, harbours, shipping.

* Defence: military vehicles, naval vessels.

* Prestigious developments: museums, visitor centres, science parks, art galleries.

* Potentially hostile environments: informal settlements, highways.

* High security: government buildings.
