PLAINVIEW, NY, SEPT.28, 2004 - The new ELMO PTC-400C is a high-resolution compact PTZ dome capable of monitoring in almost every direction. It features a 210° tilt that positions everything in the center of the extended surveillance area and "flips" the picture. As a result, the picture is always right side up and in clear focus when the image turns from an East to a West direction. It has a sweeping coverage of 350° horizontally and 210° (+15°/-195°) vertically. Its 100°/sec. pan/tilt speed, covers a wide area and captures all the detail necessary for effective surveillance.
A high quality optical system combined with advanced high-resolution DSP circuitry delivers sharp, clear video in almost any lighting environment. Minimum illumination is 21x, and a day/night control uses an IR filter for excellent images at low light levels. The PTC-400C offers a wide variety of camera controls: backlight compensation, iris, motion detection, white balance and area masking. Picture adjustments include: color balance, AGC, edge enhancement compensation and high-speed shutter. It has two alarm inputs with presets, a 12x powered optical zoom with a 16x digital extender, full auto-focus or manual capability, resolution in excess of 460TV(H) lines and an S/N ratio of 49dB.
Each camera unit is user-programmable for up to 16 pre-set positions and 8 speed settings for the flexibility to capture details from every angle, close ups and wide-angle shots.
