IDEAL Announces Major Upgrade to SecuriTEST CCTV/Security Tester



-- New SecuriTEST PRO adds Video, Audio & Sync Testing, Additional PTZ Protocols, and New Lighter, Easier-to-Carry Housing Powered by High-Capacity Rechargeable Battery --

SYCAMORE, IL, July 8, 2008 -- The IDEAL SecuriTEST, the security industry's most popular multi-functional CCTV tester, has undergone a major upgrade, and now delivers to technicians an enhanced feature set to satisfy their requirements whenever they are installing, testing or maintaining analog camera systems.

Available immediately, the IDEAL SecuriTEST PRO offers the multi-function testing platform of the original SecuriTEST introduced last year, along with new IRE video level and sync testing, new sound level assessment through an integrated speaker and on-screen display, and new additional support for more PTZ camera protocols - all packaged in a lighter, more portable design featuring a high-capacity lithium ion battery.

"We know from talking to our customers that saving money is their number one concern today," explained Dan Payerle, Product Manager, IDEAL. "For that reason we focused on providing more productivity from a single device. The new SecuriTEST PRO allows a technician to verify and troubleshoot a complete CCTV system by himself or herself, significantly reducing labor and overhead costs."

Combines Seven Tools Into One
CCTV installers often need to carry a variety of testers to complete their work. SecuriTEST PRO combines seven testers into one easy-to-carry device, eliminating the need to juggle several devices while on a ladder or lift. The result is safer working conditions, less money spent on individual tools, plus increased employee productivity.
SecuriTEST PRO empowers CCTV technicians to:

test video and sound
control PTZ cameras
analyze 20+ PTZ protocols
program PTZ and static cameras
wire map UTP cables
generate video test patterns
and test electrical signals with its built-in digital multimeter.

Video and Sync Testing
One of the most anticipated new features of the SecuriTEST PRO is its video and sync testing which assures each camera is set to its correct video output level. Testing determines the overall level of an NTSC video signal (30-150 IRE) and its sync-to-white ratio (30-50 IRE). PAL video can also be measured from 200-1200mV and sync ratio from 200-320mV. In addition, an audio input on the tester allows it to be directly connected to a camera to sample audio though the tester's built-in speaker or on its 2.5-inch color LCD screen as a visible level scale.

Pricing and Availability
Available now with an MSRP of $849.00 (U.S.), the SecuriTEST PRO kit comes with the tester, one lithium battery pack with 5.5 hours of operating time, an AC adapter/charger, 12V auto charger, 4-foot BNC video cable, test leads for the digital multimeter, UTP cable terminator, a neck strap, and a rugged carrying pouch.
