Vista has released a new generation of vari-focal domes available in
colour/mono, wide dynamic range (WDR) and UPT to meet growing demand in
the market.
With a new 4" diameter base, designed to be more noticeable and create
a greater impact, the domes come with an auto-sensing dual voltage
power supply (12V DC/24V AC) to increase the number of applications
they can be used for.
All the ranges offer an aesthetically
pleasing and cost effective solution, while the newly improved 3-axis
gimble ensures that the domes achieve the best image for the
application and allows for a finer adjustment.
The colour/mono
range come with a high quality 3-9mm direct drive lens which provides
high quality colour images during the day and clean monochrome images
at night. A selection of different finishes ensures product matches and
a sympathetic match with the environment.
The WDR range uses
the latest Pixim Orca sensor which manages lighting extremes within the
same scene to produce clear and accurate images. This makes them ideal
for internal applications where the scene includes both internal and
external light sources, such as in reception areas and doorways.
The UTP option allows for balanced wide transmission on twisted pair cable and is NVT compatible.
The
domes are very easy to install and come with a 750mm cable which will
pass through walls and all normal structures and has a snap-on, in-line
terminal connector. Greater flexibility is also achieved as the domes
have been designed to accommodate mounting on solid and false ceiling
or walls.
"These ranges have been created to provide a more
complete solution catering to a wide range of applications," says Mark
Pritchard, divisional director of Vista. "Matching dummy units are also
available to create the illusion of surveillance without incurring the
full cost of a working unit."
