Dorset-based installer Secure Alarms is using the new Ganz C-Allview high speed PTZ domes in a number of coastal sites.
The cameras offer advantages over traditional domes says Secure’s engineer-supervisor Rob Cutler, including their built-in wipers. "The wipers are a huge bonus for the locations where we are using them, as the wet conditions can be a real problem. The models also stand up well to the corrosive coastal atmosphere."
The makers report that the ruggedised C-Allview is sealed to IP67, making it suitable for a range of external applications where physical abuse and extreme environmental conditions are likely.
Secure Alarms installs and maintains systems for a range of customers in the Poole area, including leisure centres, ship yards and industrial sites. Mr Cutler adds: "Our field staff love the multiple protocols which are built-into the camera heads because these allow the cameras to be easily integrated with other equipment on site. It makes the job very fast and straightforward." The dome features optically flat glass which does not distort images as in the way that traditional domes can, according to the manufacturers. It also delivers brighter, clearer images at higher zoom rates, it is claimed.
The C-AllView PTZ camera is cast from aluminium, hard anodised and powder-coated to ensure protection from scratching, oxidisation and attack from solvents. The replaceable front glass window is also toughened. Mr Culter adds: “Following the success of our first C-Allview installations earlier this year we now have a number of major customers also looking at them.”
