A tough new camera from AXIS can be used for external mounting on heavy vehicles
A tough and durable new camera system is now available from 8111 AXIS. The firm’s P3905-RE is an addition to the range and like others in the AXIS P39-R Network Camera Series, is designed for onboard video surveillance in or on buses and other rugged environment vehicles.

The P3905-RE Network Camera is designed to be mounted on the exterior of a vehicle, increasing safety onboard and to simplify incident investigations. For example, the camera can be used for rearview surveillance alongside the vehicle outer surface, or down mounted over a door. It could also be used as a forward-facing camera.

The unit has passed the demanding IP6K9K tests. It withstands conditions such as vibrations, shocks, bumps and temperature fluctuations as well as normal maintenance of a vehicle like washing. This camera can deliver high image quality in HDTV resolution, and edge storage for demanding requirements. The cameras also feature an active tampering alarm function for the detection of tampering attempts such as blocking or spray-painting. AXIS P3905-RE Network Camera is a natural extension in this series. The unit comes with a 6mm lens that provides a 55° horizontal field of view optimised for the typical use of surveillance alongside a vehicle.  If a wider field of view is required, the housing also allows customer to change to a 3.6mm lens offering an 87° horizontal field of view. The new outdoor housing is offered as a separate accessory to AXIS P3904-R and AXIS P3905-R that comes with the 3.6mm lens at delivery. All AXIS P39-R cameras are available with either a male RJ45 connector or a rugged M12 connector. The cameras provide a pixel counter for verifying that the pixel resolution of an object meets specific requirements.

    Tilting sensed Rugged inclinometers and tilt sensors are offered by Axiomatic, which has a series of new low cost units that can measure ±90º degrees or 360 degrees angular rotation. The angles are measured by a two-axis MEMS sensor, which senses acceleration caused by gravity. In a tilt sensor application, an out-of-range state can be transmitted as one of its outputs. The latest AX06025X series features CANopen networking, an RS-232 port or three Voltage outputs for communicating the angular measurement.
