- We are looking for 3 commercial pan/tilt camera mounts. We would
- appreciate a response as soon as possible. We will be flexible on the
- specifications if required, i.e. full panic is in effect. The
- specifications are as follows;
-
- 1) Pan Angle - +/- 180 degrees (continuous 360 deg. is preferred)
- Pan Rate - 30 degrees/second preferred 12 degrees/second minimum
- Tilt Angle - +/- 45 degrees
- Tilt Rate - 30 degrees/second preferred 12 degrees/second minimum
-
- 2) Weight - less than 10 Kg (20 lbs)
-
- 3) Power - 24 VDC with plenty of current is available, we can adapt to
- any lower voltage.
-
- 4) Interface - RS-232/RS-422 serial preferred, although we can produce
- whatever drivers/interfacing may be required.
-
- 5) Environment - Somali desert environment. Prefer a unit sealed against
- sand/dirt/dust, but we can build an enclosure if required. Unit must
- operate in ambient temperatures of 45 Celcius (113 Fahrenheit). We
- can force air cool (to 45 C) if required. A vibration environment
- typical of a land vehicle is to be expected. There is no
- stabilization system.
-
- 6) Payload - the camera is a very small/lightweight Sony model, although
- we would also like to mount a floodlight if possible.
-
- 7) Time Frame - we would require delivery in January.
-
-
- If you sell such a product or know of a company that does please let us
- know. Email response is preferred, but we do monitor this group.
