Projecting a mixture of live and pre-recorded footage on all four interior walls of Edinburgh's disused Calton Hill Observatory building, visitors observed a diverse array of images from all parts of the city. Colin McNaughton, Technical Manager at RemCam explains: "We were approached with a difficult technical challenge, and just three weeks to design, test, and install a CCTV system that would deliver the type of images Kim and Jenny required.

"To capture images from around Edinburgh, we were able to utilise a Vista demonstration kit. Using a Vista VKBD4 Control Keyboard, Vista VPPH18WP/C Powerdome Pro fully-functional dome camera, and a small HD camcorder to digitally record footage from the camera's preset tours, a series of diverse scenes were captured from around the city, for replay at the Observatory."

In addition to their recorded footage, a Vista VPPH18WP/C Powerdome Pro fully-functional dome camera mounted externally at the famous Camera Obscura Museum, adjacent to Edinburgh Castle, supplied live images to the installation via an encrypted wireless link.

"The CCTV images were fundamental to the installation, and their quality and reliability crucial," says Mark Pritchard, Vista's divisional director. "The Vista Powerdome Pro cameras captured consistently high-quality images in a variety of difficult lighting conditions - from dimly lit city interiors, to panoramic landscapes of the Edinburgh sky line. Overall the installation was a great technical and artistic success."
