A challenge often faced by CCTV installers, it is especially a problem if the installation is at a high security unit such as a prison.
If the corner is less than 90 degrees, the camera will not fit. If it is greater than 90 degrees then there will be gaps that could be used to lever off the camera.
A new camera range from Conway security Products addresses the common problem of corners not being square. The CM230IR consists of a triangular fixing frame that can cope with wide and narrow angles and is fitted first. It leaves no risk of a ligature point.
The camera is said to be easily adjusted for the best angle of view and a recessed machined-steel plate with a Lexan screen protects it from attack.
The day/night camera with IR cut filter has a fixed 2.5mm lens, 940nm IR LEDs with optical sensor ensuring they are turned on only when needed, and an audio option.
Conway MD Chris Newman said although the camera suited custodial applications, they were also looking at broader markets such as elevators, interview rooms, medical centres and stairwells.
A non-IR model is also planned.
