MEL Secure Systems has announced the Domehawk eco, a new low power dome camera.
Using the latest CMOS technology, it has been designed from the ground up to run on low power giving up to six months’ operation from the internal battery without recharging. Domehawk eco can also be connected to solar panels and wind turbines making it suitable the firm says for unattended operation in remote sites.
Domehawk eco draws less than 50 milliamps, much less the firm says than any other commercially available CCTV cameras. This has been achieved by using an energy efficient video transmitter and eliminating power hungry functionality such as Tours and Privacy Zones. The camera also uses a one-third inch CMOS chip with 22:1 optical zoom and a special Pelco compatible pan, tilt and zoom mechanism. It operates in most light conditions down to 0.1 lux.
โWe took a different approach from other manufacturers when designing this energy efficient dome camera,โ said Peter Druzyc, Managing Director of Coventry-based MEL Secure Systems. โInstead of trying to design suitable wind turbines or solar panels to power existing systems, we started with a blank sheet of paper to develop a camera that provides unattended operation for up to one year with two days of sunlight per month.
