"The wipers are a huge bonus for the locations where we are using them, as the wet conditions can be a real problem. The models also stand up well to the corrosive coastal atmosphere." says Rob Cutler, engineer-supervisor, Secure Alarms.

In fact the ruggedised C-Allview is sealed to IP67, making it suitable for a wide range of external applications where physical abuse and extreme environmental conditions are likely. Secure Alarms installs and maintains systems for a wide range of customers in the Poole area, including leisure centres, ship yards and industrial sites.

"Our field staff love the multiple protocols which are built-into the camera heads because these allow the cameras to be easily integrated with other equipment on site. It makes the job very fast and straightforward" Mr Cutler continues.

The C-Allview features optically flat glass which does not distort images as in the way that traditional dome cameras can. It also delivers brighter, clearer images at higher zoom rates.

The C-AllView PTZ camera is cast from aluminium, hard anodised and powder-coated to ensure protection from scratching, oxidisation and attack from solvents. The replaceable front glass window is also toughened.

"Following the success of our first C-Allview installations earlier this year we now have a number of major customers also looking at them," adds Mr Culter.
