Enabling fast integration into surveillance networks, the Rapid cameras are intuitive to set-up, IP67 rated, lightweight (less than 10kg), portable, and require just a single power cable for operation.

Equipped with Vista Smartdisc transmission technology, images are recorded to an integrated 500GB HDD (approximately 1 months recording at 25 ips), and provide full remote control and remote access to high-quality images via onboard wireless LAN and 3G routers. Live and archived images can be viewed and downloaded via any of the Vista Smart software packages (Lite/Pro/EMS), in addition to the latest Vista Smart Video Wall software.

With both versions providing 360 degree continuous rotation, 220 presets and 4 programmable tours with integrated privacy masks and on-board schedules, the Rapid18 features an 18:1 zoom lens, whilst the Rapid35 includes a 35:1 variant.

Ideal for deployment where civil works cabling would be inappropriate or prohibitively expensive, each unit's robust and discreet design makes the Rapid series ideal for town centre systems, temporary sporting fixtures, or specific problem areas.

"For use indoor or out, the robust Vista Rapid camera range can provide fast, effective and high-performance electronic surveillance across a variety of transmission mediums including 3G," says Mark Pritchard, divisional director of Vista. "Simple integration via tried and tested Vista Smart transmission technology, combined with a multi-connectivity platform provides integrators and installers with a simple route to providing effective surveillance coverage via wireless networks."
