It has been designed for deployment in harsh and challenging environments where the camera unit may be liable to experience physical abuse.
VM Thermal Hawk is a continuous rotation, ruggedised PTZ camera that is IP67 compliant and fitted with both Day/Night and Thermal Imaging camera modules for operation around the clock. It has a 36:1 optical zoom and a 50mm Germanium lens to deliver high quality thermal pictures with a resolution of 320 x 240 pixels.
The camera housing is cast from hard anodised aluminium and powder coated to provide protection from damage such as scratching, oxidation or attack from solvents.
The optically flat glass window is distortion free, in order to provide brighter and clearer images at higher zoom ranges, detecting human presence at over 300 metres in thermal mode, and allowing greater installation flexibility.
VM Thermal Hawk can be operated from a control room environment, control case or hand held unit allowing for easy on-site setup and operation. Transmission is via COFDM Video and UHF Telemetry used enabling high quality, interference-free images to be received at distances of up to 4km without requiring line of sight. VM Thermal Hawk is available in 1.3GHz, 2.4GHz, and 5.8GHz bands and multiple cameras can be deployed within a single frequency. PAL and NTSC options are also available.
