The PTZ camera manufacturer was tasked with developing a new camera system to enable persistent surveillance capabilities alongside PTZ functionality.

The existing pan and tilt positioner had two HD connections through a slip ring, facilitating the mounting of a maximum of two cameras. To enhance surveillance capabilities, the existing slip ring was replaced with a newly designed fiber optic slip ring. This upgrade significantly increased bandwidth capacity, allowing for the integration of a total of nine cameras for comprehensive surveillance coverage.

Additionally, a redesigned GB switch with a fiber uplink was installed onto the positioner mount, ensuring seamless data transmission and network connectivity. To address the heat generated by the cameras and switch, a robust forced cooling solution was implemented, guaranteeing optimal performance and longevity of the equipment.

Moreover, to support the enhanced data transmission requirements, the video recording hardware was upgraded with fiber optic transceivers, enabling seamless communication with the positioner. This comprehensive retrofitting not only expanded the surveillance capabilities but also optimized the system’s overall efficiency and reliability.
