Day & Night Camera DNC-20-04
20.040.0100

The MEOS camera DNC-20-04 is provided with a special CCD chip which allows the operation in colour mode at daylight and in black & white mode at night. Due to its excellent infrared sensitivity, invisible IR radiation can be used to enhance the available light at night. The camera is directly integrated into a completely sealed (IP65) weather resistant housing having the smallest available size. The front window is coated with a self cleaning pearl finish glass and is designed for application in hot and humid environment. The MEOS camera series DNC is equipped with an integrated fibre transmitter output for the video signal for direct application of advanced fibre technology.

The camera comes, if not stated otherwise, with a high Q objective with Auto Iris, variable focus, 16 mm / F 1.4

Wall Mount Holder
20.040.0200

The DNC-20-04 provides a holder bracket which can be attached via two M6 threads to a variety of wall or mast holders. Depending on the individual requirements of a project other holders can be provided. For the connection of the DNC-20-04 to the junction box a flexible weather resistant hose is provided in which the optical fibre as well as the power supply lines are protected.

Camera Junction Box
20.040.0102

The camera DNC-20-04 requires an operating voltage of 9VDC which is provided by the camera junction box CJB-20-04. Furthermore, the junction box is equipped with a female ST/ST fibre connector to connect the optical fibre of the camera to the residual fibre network. The junction box complies with the protection class of IP65 and is therefore ideally suited for outdoor operation under even harsh conditions. The optical fibre as well as the 230 VAC cable is connected via grommets to provide IP65 protection. For the 230 VAC supply lines two grommets are provided for chaining a series of junction boxes.

Day & Night Camera DNC-20-04-Z
20.040.0120

The MEOS camera DNC-20-04-Z is provided with a special CCD chip which allows the operation in colour mode at daylight and in black & white mode at night. Due to its excellent infrared sensitivity, invisible IR radiation can be used to enhance the available light at night. The camera is directly integrated into a completely sealed (IP65) weather resistant housing having the smallest available size. The front window is coated with a self cleaning pearl finish glass and is designed for application in hot and humid environment. The MEOS camera series DNC is equipped with an integrated fibre transmitter output for the video signal for direct application of advanced fibre technology.
The MEOS camera DNC-20-04–Z model is provided with a motorized zoom objective. To accommodate longer motorized zoom objectives the housing of the camera has an extended length of 284 mm instead of 218 mm as for the standard DNC-20-04.
The objective is provided with motorized zoom and focusing.

All other specifications are the same as for the DNC-20-04 model.

Pan and Tilt Head
20.040.0170

This Pan and Tilt head comes in a solid aluminium housing in professional industrial design. It is suitable for indoor and outdoor use (IP66) and comprises the typical standard functions. Control is possible via the RS485 bus. A keyboard (20.040.0172) and controller (20.040.0171) if required has to be ordered separately. The camera is mounted to the unit’s mounting bracket.
Max. payload: 20 kg
Pan range: 350°
Pan speed: 6°/sec
Tilt speed: 3°/sec

Desktop Joystick Control
20.040.0172

The pan and tilt head is controlled either by the integrated joy stick or by pushing the up, down, left or right buttons. A numerical block is provided to select a pan and tilt unit by entering its unique address. The keyboard is connected via a two wire RS485 bus to the pan and tilt controller unit.

Zoom Camera Junction Box
20.040.0120

The camera DNC-20-04 requires an operating voltage of 9VDC which is provided by the camera junction box CJB-20-04. Furthermore the junction box is equipped with a female ST/ST fibre connector to connect the optical fibre of the camera to the residual fibre network. The junction box complies with the protection class of IP65 and is therefore ideally suited for outdoor operation even under harsh conditions. The optical fibre as well as the 230 VAC cable is connected via grommets to provide IP65 protection. For the 230 VAC supply lines two grommets are provided for chaining a series of junction boxes

Day & Night Camera DNC-20-04 - P
20.040.0140

The unique design reflects the needs for ruggedised and vandalism proofed surveillance cameras. Furthermore, it disguises the appearance as a “camera” and its application is found in places where high quality video images and nearly hidden operation is a must. Due to the periscopic optical arrangement the camera is almost bullet proof, only the front glass or in serious case the bending mirror may be affected; the valuable objective and camera are protected. As shown down, the camera can be also be used in horizontal position. As all other models of the DNC series the video signal is connected via optical glass fibre to the receiver. Depending on the specific application the lens objective needs to be defined. The standard configuration comes with the objective and CCD chip.

The Desert Owl
20.040.0144

The “Desert Owl” series of DNC-20-04-P camera family provides a unique design to cover specialised applications. The
“Desert Owl” combines a high sensitivity camera with a special Laser system to illuminate the dark with invisible light. The design is weather proof wherever the “Desert Owl” will do its duty. The ruggedised housing protects the valuable interior against vandalism. The required application determines the kind of CCD chip to be used as well as the optical power of the Laser section. In applications where the power consumption plays an important role, the CCD chip will be a CMOS one. The emitted Laser radiation is invisible to the human eye and the Laser output power in the standard configuration is 1 Watt. The coverage of the “Desert Owl” depends on the chosen lens objective (f number), the sensitivity of the CCD chip used as well as on the Laser power. Under standard conditions 2 km can be covered.
In connection with the MEOS video software providing motion detection, the “Desert Owl” is ideally suited for automated day and night operation. Especially the fact that objects appear under NIR illumination in white colour, this contrast change enhances the liability of the motion detection.

The figure on the left shows the “Desert Owl” in its element, surveillance tasks in the desert, however equipped with a solar panel and mounting tube. Such a unit is self-contained and needs only to be connected to the optical fibre to transfer the video signal to a control room which may be located at a distance of 80 km.
