Adds to redeployable cameras

by Mark Rowe

Revader Security has announced an extended battery life and remote power control for its range of redeployable CCTV products, aimed at law enforcement, local councils and event managers. Revader has introduced upgrades to its product range to improve power consumption and control.
The Transit product range can now perform continuously for up to nine hours of operation as standard from the internal battery, and the addition of a remote Revader RF Power Switch enables users to power the units on and off according to demand, therefore conserving battery life before or after a pre-determined event.

Revader Security has used advent new long-life Lithium-Iron batteries. The layout of the electronic components inside the unit has also been reconfigured to accommodate larger batteries without compromising on overall product dimensions.

This enables users to operate a compact redeployable unit for up to nine hours from the standard internal battery alone. For CCTV operators, this characteristic could mean the difference between only using redeployable units for specific events to more routine day/night-long deployment without fear of battery depletion.

A long internal battery life is an advantage in itself, the makers add, but adding external batteries and a range of renewable sources like turbines and solar cells can enable the units to operate for longer – theoretically for months or even years, given optimal conditions, the company adds.

One such device is the Revader GSM power pack, which augments battery life for a further 96 hours (or four days’ continuous recording). This makes the redeployable units suitable the firm says for use where power is non-existent or unreliable, such as rural locations, large open spaces, or at concerts and festivals requiring intensive yet short term surveillance. Working with the Revader Power Control mobile app, operators are able to turn the GSM power pack on and off from any remote location, so that the units can be positioned in situ prior to a pre-determined event without wasting battery life or requiring human attendance nearby. This, with intermittent renewable sources, can extend the readiness to respond, the company says. Visit Revader.com.
