Order Redvision’s all-new, high-performance, analogue X-SERIES™ rugged dome from November.

Redvision’s all-new, analogue X-SERIES™, rugged dome uses Sony’s next-generation, 2MP, STARVIS sensor. It directly replaces the previous RVX30™ analogue model and will be available to order under the same model number from November. “Many security-integrators consider Redvision’s X-SERIES™ to be the industry benchmark, rugged dome camera,” explained Paul Hucker, Director of Redvision. “With several analogue components being phased out by suppliers, we were under pressure to use a low-end camera solution in the RVX30™ to maintain supply. Instead of compromising, we collaborated with Sony to use their STARVIS camera block; widely regarded as the best performing block on the market. Although this left us with a gap in supply, we felt it was a better option than compromising the quality... Read More

I can see clearly now the rain has gone – thanks to the wiper on Redvision’s VEGA™ 2010 rugged housing!

Redvision’s VEGA™ 2010, rugged camera housing includes a PoE-driven wiper option. The wiper removes rain and dirt from the housing’s camera window, ensuring a clear view, whatever the weather conditions. Not surprisingly, the wiper has made the VEGA™ 2010 the first-choice camera housing for outdoor and rugged camera installations in the UK, where wet weather is a reality. “We have many VEGA™ 2010’s fitted on top of CCTV towers, exposed to the elements”, explains Stephen Lightfoot, Technical Director of Redvision. “A housing without a wiper is useless in exposed applications like these, as the inevitable rain, or a build-up of grime, will eventually compromise the camera view. Crime doesn’t stop when it rains, so installers must allow for it! “We... Read More
