Overview

The Rapier 50HD provides up to 50 digital images per second at 1280×1024 pixel resolution without any compression of the video data or effects of analogue cabling. This means around 8 times more accurate information and recognition over a far wider field of view.

Rapier 50HD is available as a mono ANPR only camera or dual with a second colour module for evidential image capture. The 50HD cameras are provided with megapixel lenses in a range of focal lengths from 5m to 50m.Rapier 50HD has been designed to work in conjunction with our optional Rapier 50LX illumination unit that can be added to installations to provide improved night-time overview images.

Rapier 50HD has been designed for ease of use in fixed applications with standard CCTV installation options for use on gantries, lamp posts and bridges. The camera’s housing is fully sealed to IP68 and purged for long life performance. Connectivity is provided via CAT5e cabling to networks and ANPR processor units.

Options and Accessories

Cable harness sets The camera is fitted with high-grade locking connectors. Connection from the Rapier to the ANPR equipment is available through CAT5e cabling. The unit is powered by12VDC power and has I/O connectivity for triggering multiple units.

Brackets A range of metal cradles, brackets and sunshields are available for fixed installations. Modified and bespoke metalwork can be designed and supplied to meet specific demands. Standard ranges include rapid fixing brackets/adaptors to standard CCTV (4” / 102.5mm PCD), RAM Mount and tripod connectors in pole/wall mount configurations with tilting/panning and yaw capabilities for better alignment. The sunshields are available in a variety of construction techniques and sizes.

Pan and Tilt MAV Systems provide pan and tilt heads, and interface units, to enable remote movement of the camera position. Pan and Tilt units have jog and preset capabilities that can be combined with presets to create integrated fixed platforms. Pan and Tilt interfaces support industry standard protocols, with enhanced features through the MAV AVML protocol.
