Colour day/night PTZ camera

May 2006 Surveillance

The E-Hammer-Head is a colour day/night PTZ camera for vehicle or fixed installations. Many speed dome or PTZ cameras suffer from a lack of illumination in situations of poor or no light. The feature that makes the E-Hammer-Head useful in these situations is the integrated infrared illuminator. This illuminator operates in the 850 nm near infrared spectrum and has a ±35 metre effective range.

It is normally difficult or impossible to provide a speed dome camera with directed infrared illumination. Utilising a high quality Sony CCD camera module, the E-Hammer-Head has an 18x Optical auto focus zoom lens. During the day, the camera provides a high quality colour image. During the night or below 10 lux, the camera switches to a night mode and provides a black and white image. When the light level drops further, the IR illumination is activated.

Pan range is 360° and tilt range 90°.

The alarm inputs are linked to the preset camera positions. When an alarm input is received, the camera moves to that particular preset position. Communication from the camera to the joystick controller is via 2-wire RS485 communications. Different communication protocols are supported, including the most popular industry types.
