In the process of covering
a residential internal fitout for Apparitions Group P/L we developed
a robust, easy to use system, built from off the shelf components
making it as cost effective as possible. This prototype has
proved its worth in the dusty environment of a building site.
Put the unit in a position that doesn't
get in the way of the project and turn it on.
It can be preconfigured for any frame rate from 1 frame every
4 seconds upwards. Special exposure settings can be set e.g.
long exposures at night with instant feedback of results.
It can be mounted in any position - a tripod, a mast, wall or
pole mounted and operated with a simple remote on/off switch.
The system is disigned for very low power consumption and the
battery will power the unit for up to 7 days. Attach solar and
it will run indefinately.
It will record up to 4 gig of photographic
resolution data.
If mounted outside it simply means building the system in a
Conway weatherproof housing.
Weighting in at 5 kg (a little more than the battery) makes
it easy to handle. Mounting takes one bolt and the unit can
be panned and tilted before locking off into the final position.
We have concurrently been researching high resolution high frame
rate systems and such a design can incorporate the technology.
This unit does not use a computer as the driver. Our lead products
do however the compromise has always been longer interval times.
Perfect for construction projects computer controlled systems
offer many benefits over this basic unit, deigned for its own
unique criteria.
