MKIXB: 36X Optical Zoom Forward Centre Camera
The MKIXB is around the latest generation, low light, Sony block cameras. The MKIXB
forward centre PTZ allows a +/- 30 degrees range of motion in both pan and 25 degrees in
tilt. The camera is designed for covert installation behind flat hides. The full range of motion
is achieved with only a 45mm square aperture. This aperture can be covered with semi
transparent materials, which blur out due to the short objective lens to cover distance
(10mm).
The mount is driven by encoder feedback servo motors, allowing exceptional fine control at
the extent of the lens, whilst at the same time achieving near silent operation. If
applications arise where the motor noise is not a factor the speed bandwidth can be opened
in software to give the full range of speed control.
Software features for the MKIXB include full preset control, patrol modes and ‘smart’
commands, such as PTZ focus trigger, which sends an automatic focus trigger to the camera
on completion of either a pan, tilt or zoom operation, giving automatic focus without the
errors of autofocus. The camera is available housed or OEM.
MKX: Micro Forward Center Pan and Tilt Camera
The MKX forms part of a line of highly integrated surveillance products developed by Visual
Engineering. The heart of the system is a high sensitivity system on chip camera, coupled
with a high quality pinhole lens.
The camera and lens are mounted to a forward centre pan and tilt. This system allows the
