Increased floor surveillance with reduced dome numbers

Mobile camera systems are now accepted in many parts of the world as a key component and a cost-effective CCTV solution to the monitoring of human and mechanical movement to improve surveillance control and work efficiency.

Tracam® is a range of state-of-the-art automated mobile video surveillance systems that provide optimum CCTV surveillance of large areas. The system incorporates a fully programmable pan-tilt-zoom (PTZ) camera mounted on a carriage vehicle which can move along an aluminium track suspended from any type of ceiling.

Features

• Aesthetically pleasing design;
• Image Orientation Correction;
• User-definable patterns and tours;
• Full 360° camera pan;
• 240° camera tilt along the length of the track;
• Track lengths in 2.4 metre sections, up to 200 metres;
• Dual joystick operation with full variable speed control;
• Multiple corners (400mm radius) can be incorporated;
• Cowling conceals camera location and protects camera from dirt and moisture;
• Choice of cowlings - mirrored, dark mirrored or smoked, or clear;
• Compatible with fixed dome cameras in integrated installations;
• Choice of manual or pre-programmed control;
• Able to be integrated with alarm systems, eg. access control or alarms systems;
• Able to be interfaced to remote internet based monitoring systems;
• Comprehensive library of compatible protocols for integration into existing systems.

Using the Tracam® Controller, the user can control the movement of the camera along the track. The mobile carriage or Video Transport Unit (VTU) can be controlled manually or can be programmed to move to pre-defined positions.

The new Tracam® Controller is featured in the 'What's New' section of this site.

The CCTV camera on the VTU with its 22 x zoom lens, 360° pan and 240° tilt can also be controlled manually or programmed to move to pre-defined settings, thus enabling the Tracam® VTU to patrol an entire area under manual or automatic control. The Tracam® Image Orientation Correction (IOC) facility provides the viewer with an upright image as the camera tilts through the vertical when following people who walk directly underneath the camera's location.

The Video Transport Unit (VTU) moves along an extruded aluminium track which can include corners (400mm radius) TL6c System only.

The VTU is concealed behind a mirrored or tinted cowling. Customers can choose the cowling finish best suited for the location - mirrored, dark mirrored or smoked and clear.

The flexible design capability of a Tracam® installation ensures maximum surveillance of an area. Track sections are 2.4 metre long and can be fitted together (with 400mm radius corners) to construct a track length up to 200 metres.

The ability to incorporate multiple corners means that a Tracam® system can provide very effective coverage for even the most complex architectural layouts. Tracam® provides unsurpassed surveillance coverage and ease of use.
