Rapid Deployment Cameras Deliver Major Benefits

Rapid deployment wireless cameras are becoming increasingly popular among fire service and other emergency services because of their ability to deliver greatly improved video imagery (using COFDM wireless transmission), including high quality footage from within buildings and tunnels, to incident commanders. The continuous rotation, ruggedised wireless camera solution is designed for rapid deployment by emergency services to major incidents. As well as being operated separately on a tripod it can also be vehicle mounted, fitted to a high-reach aerial platform or a combined aerial rescue pump (CARP).

A high resolution optical zoom camera and a sensitive dual-thermal imaging camera are combined in one remote head to deliver image sat up to 2km distance using COFDM Video and controlled by UHF Telemetry. The 36x optical zoom provides the ability to see across long distances, while the 50mm Germanium lens delivers high quality thermal pictures, helping human presence to be identified at up to 450 metres.

The optically flat glass window is distortion free, giving bright and clear images at higher zoom ranges, and the fitted wiper clears any dirt and water, which means that effective operation is possible even in adverse environmental conditions.

Live video streams from the camera can be viewed at the incident by Silver commanders(both in the incident command vehicle and on hand-held and portable devices) and can also be streamed back to the control room via broadband satellite
