MEL Secure Systems has introduced a new Virtual Pivot CCTV solution. This provides full pan tilt and zoom functionality and has been designed to meet the specific needs of law enforcement and government agencies in a range of covert surveillance applications.
The new camera has a conical lens that provides crystal clear images, with full PTZ, through holes as small as 2mm diameter. It mounts to vehicle panels or box hides and can even be placed inside street lights and furniture with no visible signs or tell-tale graphics to show that CCTV monitoring is taking place, the makers say.
This camera has a one-third inch SONY FCB-EX20 CCD Image Module which offers a high resolution 540 TV lines picture quality in colour and black and white as well as delivering low light performance. An IR cut filter provides extra sensitivity.
Use of the Pelco D control protocol enables integration with a range of industry-standard transmission equipment. The MEL camera is also compatible with COFDM Video and UHF Telemetry enabling it’s claimed quality, interference-free images to be received at distances of up to 4km without requiring line of sight. It is available in 1.3GHz, 2.4GHz, and 5.8GHz bands and can also be used with IP networks and is compatible with the firm’s rapid deployment kits. An HD version will be launched later in 2011.
