U.K.-based Ovation Systems said it has launched the new FlashBack-3R unmanned remote covert surveillance system.
The system was designed and built to meet the requirements of an unspecified customer and there are 50 of these units already in use.
The new system is based on the existing FlashBack range of evidential recording systems already in use with over 1,500 military. law enforcement and government and customers worldwide.
FlashBack-3R is a ruggedized version specifically designed for unmanned remote covert surveillance operations in harsh climates or vehicle borne surveillance.
The system uses H.264 video compression technology, which provides high quality video coupled with very long record times. To extend battery life, it is possible to record selectively via its internal timer or to record for a preset duration when trigged by external ground sensors. The unit also includes internal 16-zone motion detector.
All the features and functions of FlashBack-3R can be either pre-programmed or configured remotely to a built in ethernet interface. This allows for remote control, file download and even the streaming of live video when connected to either a wireless 3G or Satellite BGAN modem.
It is also possible to connect to FlashBack-3 Rugged via Wi-Fi which can be activated by a remote key-fob transmitter.
