Forward Vision - Forward Vision Launch ATEX-Certified MIC1-440
Forward Vision CCTV announces the release of the MIC1-440, an
explosion-protected, ATEX-certified model from the MIC1 - or Metal
Mickey as they are more commonly known - series of pan-tilt-zoom (PTZ)
cameras. The MIC1-440 is specifically designed to provide effective
surveillance at critical infrastructure sites.
The MIC1-440 recently completed its ATEX-certification testing,
allowing it to address the needs of important vertical markets
including the oil, gas and petrochemical industries. The MIC1-440
has generated interest from leading British integrators and
consultants. The corresponding CSA/UL-certified model for North
America is currently completing certification procedures and the
camera has already secured initial orders.
The release of MIC1-440 coincides with the development of multiple
communication protocol capability, enabling easy integration into
various video management platforms. MIC1 is also gaining sales
traction from its increased use in mobile systems, which include a
recent project completed for the Hong Kong Transport Department. The
system incorporated MIC1 into a mobile platform which transmitted
live video via a 3.5G wireless network to transport department
headquarters where the video was processed by video analytics.
The recent developments in the MIC1 product family is consistent
with the Extreme CCTV Group's plan to support and aggressively grow
the Forward Vision company which it acquired on July 31, 2006.
Extreme will continue to accelerate engineering developments and
grow Forward Vision as a centre of excellence for mechanical
products.
"Metal Mickey has built a loyal following among leading British
security consultants for its performance and versatility," says Jack
Gin, President and CEO of Extreme CCTV. "We believe we have the best
electro-mechanical systems engineering group in the world for CCTV.
As we work to open new market channels in the rest of the world, the
R&D team at Forward Vision continues to innovate new products -
which include thermal sensing models for defence applications - that
will create further opportunities for growth."
Designed for effective surveillance at critical infrastructure
sites, the Mic1-440 is certified for explosion protected performance
to ATEX Directive 94/9/EC Exd IIC T6 and holds Certificate of
Registration No. 679907.
