Redvision previews “fast, accurate, silent” PTZ and customisable camera housing ranges

Redvision gave its customers and industry professionals a sneak preview of its latest innovations with the help of a top magician last night.

The UK-based manufacturer of high-end video surveillance cameras unveiled the Volant, a PTZ camera that Redvision says moves faster, more accurately and more quietly than anything else on the market. It also gave invited guests a first look at Vega, its customisable camera housing.

Both ranges will be launched officially at IFSEC International 2017 between 20-22 June (get your free badge now).

Apart from hors d’oeuvres and prosecco, attendees were treated to some impressive tricks by entertainer and magician Nick Einhorn. The cameras were even deployed as Einhorn’s assistants, with a thermal camera helping him avoid a nail through the hand in one audacious trick. In another, a Volant swiveled stealthily and picked out – from among many playing cards stuck  to the walls about 30 feet away – the very cards chosen by members of the audience (the identity of which they had obviously kept to themselves).

Popular with high net worth individuals and critical national infrastructure, Redvision cameras are very much pitched at the premium end of the market – and last night you could see why. The clarity of the images and accuracy of the movement were both evident, as was the complete absence of motorised sounds when they swivelled into position.

The Volant even ‘remembers’ and reverts to its correct position if knocked out of position.

The Volant will be available in standard, adaptive IR and adaptive white light models.

In a market with so little aesthetic variety, Redvision’s rugged, customisable housing is an intriguing innovation. The Hampshire-based company plans to customise the housing to specifications by customers in a wide range of markets.

Guests were also shown a special feature video that showcased the cameras’ capabilities.

The innovation that accounts for the quietness has more than just an auditory benefit. ‘Infinity’ motors, which are magnetically driven, could also reduce total cost of ownership because there is less contact between moving parts and therefore less wear and tear.

The event took place at headquarters of IFSEC International’s parent company, UBM, in Southwark, central London.

The Volant and Vega ranges will be launched and on display at IFSEC International, 20-22 June 2017, London ExCeL. You can find Redvision on stand D1150. Get your free badge now.
