Press Release Summary: The new MIC1-400 infrared camera boasts pan-tilt-zoom (PTZ)
offers a unique surveillance solution.

Press Release Body: UK

Forward Vision\'s MIC1-400 infrared range, part of the MIC1 or \"Metal Mickey\" series
of Pan Tilt and Zoom (PTZ) cameras, offers a ruggedised surveillance solution where
versatile and reliable image capture is needed both during the day and at night. The
cameras are popular for installation in both permanent solutions and for rapid
deployment use, where their robust nature stands up to repeated re-deployment on
vehicles, poles and sentry towers.

Sharing the same features as other MIC1 series cameras, such as optically perfect
viewing window, whisper-quiet and smooth operation thanks to new brushless motor
technology, plus compatibility with all leading control systems and an industry
leading IP68 rating for the ultimate protection against the elements; the MIC1-400
infrared range benefits from the addition of built-in infrared illuminators. These
provide fully directional infrared illumination to a distance of up to 30 meters
thanks to its twin semi-covert 880nM illuminator attached directly to the camera
head.


A choice either 18x or 36x true day/night camera modules are available with
automatic IR cut-filter for stunning colour clarity during the day and
picture-perfect monochrome images at night. Activation of the illuminators can be
controlled automatically either through a camera setting, via an external switch
such as a photocell, or manually from the control keyboard.


Constructed from 6mm thick aluminium, the MIC1-400 infrared is built to last and
offers a high degree of vandal resistance. Its unique design allows full 360 degree
continuous rotation with 320 degree tilt control - what\'s more it can be installed
upright, inverted or canted at 45 degrees for pole mounted applications that require
the base of the pole to be viewed.


All MIC1-400 cameras come in a choice of black, grey or white, but custom colours
are also available to client specifications as an option.
