Cameras

Standing at just 50mm high x 50mm wide, it remains one of the smallest high performance surveillance cameras on the market.

Kestrel 10 was designed with the stringent VOSA guidelines in mind to ensure safety for driver and passenger without compromising on quality.
It has already been adopted as the chosen camera of choice by police forces working to these important safety guidelines.

Features include:-

• 10x optical zoom with auto focus and extensive control capabilities.
• High performance integral microphone.
• Fully compatible as a drop-in replacement for upgrade on existing systems where space is at a premium.
• Fully compliant with:-
  • VOSA safety guidelines.
  • NAAS standards for daytime ANPR applications
• For windscreen mounting, the camera is compact enough to mount behind most rear-view mirrors.
• Low light characteristics for video evidence capture.
• Supplied with an adjustable camera bracket for windscreen mounting.
• Simple connection via an RJ45 socket allowing direct connection to existing ProVida 2000 systems as either a front or rear camera.
• GUI (Graphic User Interface) available to download via website for easy set up and optimisation.

For use in both surveillance and ANPR applications the camera can be fitted on our pan & tilt system for complete movement and control.

Features include:-

• Suited for internal vehicle mounting.
• High quality colour/mono camera module with integrated 18x zoom lens.
• 1/4-type Ex-view HAD™CD offering high picture quality, low light efficiency and a variety of functions.
• Ideal for demanding mobile video applications.
• RJ45 connection provides a quick and easy replacement to existing ProVida system.
• Exceptional low light sensitivity makes it an excellent choice for surveillance both and ANPR applications.
• Preferred camera choice where VOSA safety guidelines do not apply.
• GUI (Graphic User Interface) available to download via website for easy set up and optimisation.

It is ideal for short to medium range fixed or mobile ANPR applications up to 25m which require a colour overview image.

Due to its small size, low power and hard anodised weather proof packaging it is particularly suited to external fittings to all types of vehicle.

Features include:-

• Electronic zoom and pan/tilt facility.
• Optically filtered to match the wavelength of the illuminator to exclude the effects of extraneous light.
• Unique control capability to synchronise with the IR illuminator which can offer higher contrast images in day or night, ensuring more definition and sharper edges to greatly improve ANPR performance.
• Supplied with a stainless steel adjustable universal bracket for vehicle or fixed mounting.
• Fast connection via IP68 connector with 5m composite cable which is waterproof when mated.
• Simplified installation - cable is broken out into individual wires which can easily be passed through bulkheads or the interior of a vehicle.
• Camera is supplied as standard with 25mm focal length lenses for operation at medium to long distance.
• Options for 8mm, 16mm and 25mm are available for shorter range, wider angle, operation.
• Control is via an optically isolated RS232-C link and uses the Petards Universal Protocol for full dynamic control of camera setup and performance.
• GUI (Graphic User Interface) available to download via website for easy set up and optimisation.

It comprises a fixed focal length mono IR camera with matched illuminator and integrated day/night colour camera for overview pictures.

It is ideal for short to medium range fixed or mobile ANPR applications up to 25m which require a colour overview image.

Regardless of the ANPR engine used, the minihawk 2i significantly improves the performance of recognition.

Features include:-

• Electronic zoom and digital pan/tilt facility with IR capability.
• Optically filtered to match the wavelength of the illuminator - excluding the effects of extraneous light.
• Low power and hard anodised weather proof packaging it is particularly suited to external fitting on all types of vehicle.
• Unique control capability to synchronise with the IR illuminator which can offer higher contrast images in day or night, ensuring more definition and sharper edges to greatly improve ANPR performance.

Features include:-

• 18x optical zoom with auto focus and extensive control capabilities. Varifocal lens means one camera fits all applications up to 45m.
• Optically filtered to match the wavelength of the illuminator to exclude the effects of extraneous light.
• Compact construction and hard anodised weather proof packaging ensure suitability for arduous external fixed site applications.
• Mono camera has unique control capability to synchronise with the IR illuminator which can offer higher contrast images in day or night, ensuring more definition and sharper edges to greatly improve ANPR performance.
• Control is optically isolated and uses the Petards Universal Protocol which is ASCII text based and the electrical interface is RS232 at 9K6bps (9600,8,n,1).
• GUI (Graphic User Interface) available to download via website for easy set up and optimisation.
• Supplied with a stainless steel adjustable swivel bracket for easy mounting.
• Fast connection is via a 7 way connector with 5m composite connection cable which is waterproof when mated.
• Simplified installation - cable is broken out into individual wires which can easily be routed through glands and street furniture and also easily terminated.
• Illuminator supplied as standard is 850nm which offers a range of up to 45m.
• More powerful illumination is available to give a brighter image of the number plate including 810nm which will be more visible.
• Where the illumination is required to be totally invisible 940nm can be used and the dual illuminators will give a distance close to that achievable at the shorter wavelengths.
