Redvision officially unveils “quietest, fastest ever” PTZ and mould-breaking rugged camera enclosure

Redvision has unveiled  its new rugged PTZ – VOLANT – and customisable camera housing range – VEGA – at IFSEC 2017.

The UK-based manufacturer of high-end video surveillance cameras says the Volant moves faster, more accurately and more quietly than anything else on the market.

The reason for this is pioneering ‘Infinity’ direct drive, brushless DC motors that can rotate continuously in both its pan and tilt axis. The camera will silently pan at 420° per second to a preset position or move very slowly to track a target or person at 300m. Redvision says the motors deliver minimal latency and military-level, positional accuracy, repeatable to 0.01°.

The VOLANT also ‘remembers’ and reverts to its correct position if knocked out of position.

Integrated, Dual-Adaptive IR and white light LED illuminators are set in a ring surrounding the camera window, making the camera effective up to 150m in complete darkness.

Incorporating many design features of the X-SERIES, it has:

• A durable, die-cast aluminium body for rugged, outdoor operation
• A flat, optically-correct, toughened glass camera window with wiper to remove dirt and water
• And vertically downwards viewing when mounted on a pole or column
• IP68 weather-proof rated; IK10 shock and vandal resistance rated; and passes IEC vibration, shock and salt spray compliance requirements.

But it is the infinity motors that really set this launch apart. Magnetically driven, they could even reduce total cost of ownership because there is less contact between moving parts and therefore less wear and tear.

The VOLANT will be available in standard, adaptive IR and adaptive white light models, and in IP or analogue.

In a market with little aesthetic variety, Redvision is hoping that its rugged, customisable housing will generate considerable interest. VEGA housing will be adaptable to the specifications of customers in a wide range of markets.

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

IFSEC Global caught up with the company’s founder and director, Paul Hucker, and MD, Dermot Grace, to find out how the company is positioning itself in the surveillance market and its plans for IFSEC.

You can see the Volant and Vega ranges for yourself at IFSEC International, which still has two days to run after today. You can find Redvision on stand D1150. Get your free badge now.
