Micro dome acheives IP67 submersion status

Essex, UK

Pecan CCTV's micro dome range has been extended by the introduction of the new DO55C(S) which has been tested to meet IP67 requirements for submersion underwater up to a depth of 1.5m. Successful completion of the certification process means that the camera is now suitable for use in the harshest external as well as internal applications.

Although Pecan's micro dome cameras have always had the potential to be installed for retail use they have become an increasingly popular choice for use on public transport as well as other road vehicles, claims the manufacturer. Pecan's decision to invest in upgrading and redesigning the original micro dome series was the direct result of the demand from transport operators for a camera that could easily be installed outside as well as inside the vehicle which could safely remain in place whilst the vehicle was being washed.

Director, Jess Johns said "When cameras which aren't completely sealed are installed to the outside of vehicles the damage that can be caused by high pressure washes is costly - not just in terms of the camera repair but also the loss in business from having the vehicle off the road."

"These easy to install micro domes have proved to be extremely popular with transport operators who were understandably keen to extend their use externally. We were aware of the potential risk of moisture ingress during cleaning so we developed the new DO55C(S) as a completely sealed unit to prevent the problem."

"Although there are other IP67 accredited cameras on the market we believe our latest generation DO55CS, which is proven to withstand a high pressure hose, is the smallest unit to achieve its internationally accepted rating."

Available with either a standard flush mount or wedge adaptor Pecan CCTV's DO55C(S) versatile micro domes are suitable for a wide variety of applications. In addition to offering transport companies e.g. bus and coach operators, road hauliers, emergency vehicles and plant and equipment drivers a secure solution they also provide a discreet option for the retail and leisure industries.

Pecan is the trade name of the CCTV Division of Stortech Electronics Ltd who manufacture and distribute a comprehensive range of CCD camera systems and components. The company is a wholly owned subsidiary of Acal plc who are listed on the London Stock Exchange.
