Outdoor Miniature Pan/Tilt Unit
Rugged, Compact, Precise
High-Performance, Computer-Controlled Positioning
The PTU-D48 is a family of integrated computer-controlled pan-tilt units designed for intelligent positioning and control of camera, laser, antenna, and other payloads to 15 lbs. It is a fully integrated design with single weatherized connection for power, control, and camera/payload signals. Its compact size and light weight make it ideal for mast/pole mount and vehicle applications. Payloads can be side and/or top mounted. The PTU-D48 withstands high duty-cycles and offers long-life in harsh all-weather environments.
Key features include:
- Positions any payload: IP cameras, antennas, lasers
- Smooth, repeatable motion and rigid design provides steady images in windy environments
- Powerful command set supports real-time detection and tracking applications: absolute angle, relative angle, velocity control, geo-pointing (lat/lon) with GPM option, continous velocity control
- Solid and vibration-tolerant for vehicle applications
- Wide-range of speeds (< 0.006º/sec. to 100º/sec.)
- Extremely precise positioning (0.006º) allows translating object positions to map coordinates accurately
- Single connector for all video, control, power
- Flexible payload mounting (top and/or side)
- Integrated controller - no other electronics box required
- Computer interface via RS-232/485 or Ethernet (option)
- Fully sealed for outdoor applications (IP67)
Applications
- Perimeter surveillance
- Automated antenna pointing
- Harbor / Port monitoring
- Laser ranging systems
- Video detection & tracking
- Industrial automation
- Vehicle surveillance systems
- Law Enforcement
- Force Protection
