Zistos Low-Light Pole Camera System with Hinged Camera Head

The HDTS-5AR-FC17-2.0IR is a pole camera system equipped with an infrared-illuminated low-light camera. The system's primary application is as a tactical surveillance tool, increasing the safety and efficacy of a tactical mission by giving visual intelligence in settings where looking unaided would be unavailable or dangerous.

The system is a hand-held pole camera that can transmit encrypted, low-latency (delay), WiFi images that are viewed onto a rugged 5 in. tablet. The system also supports wired operation in situations where wireless operation is not feasible.

The tablet features a removable battery that is hot-swappable. This negates the need to take the tablet out of service if its battery gets low. The tablet can be worn on the wrist, or chest or can be pole mounted at the user’s option. It is configured with a pole-mounted camera that telescopes out to yield a length of 17 ft. including the handle.

The camera is positioned manually utilizing a friction hinge that allows the camera to be situated +/- 120° from the straight-ahead center position. The design of the hinge will hold the camera orientation after it is positioned by the operator.

The 5 in. tablet display selected for this system features a rugged, industrial design, excellent screen brightness and resolution. It also has a removable SD card that can be removed to archive captured images and video clips. It also features a hot-swappable battery that can be changed during use.

This hand-held pole camera system and display can be used as a tactical surveillance tool to increase the safety and effectiveness of a tactical mission. The system allows operators to see into areas that may harbor an unknown and hidden danger using a low light camera that has integral IR LED illuminators invisible to the human eye. The modular design is ruggedly built and compatible with many other Zistos specialty cameras such as thermal, under-door, video scopes and IR-illuminated zoom cameras.

The system is ideally suited for looking up into attics, down in basements, crawlspaces, and in windows to provide visual intelligence on the location and status of a suspect or situation.
