Nanjing, China (July 17, 2006) – Mikami 35×Outdoor Dome (CH-PTC-301HG-P24) provided by TeraMage won the procurement contract of surveillance equipment for Nanjing Traffic Police. The model represents Mikami's latest-generation product in outdoor application.

 

Enhancing the effective range of road surveillance cameras has long been a vital task with the ever increasing demands for urban security. Dome or mini gun cameras are normally the top selections in consideration of the beauty decoration as well as reducing citizens’ psychological pressures. However, the size constraint has always compromised the surveillance range. Generally speaking, the limitation to the deployment of 18x, 22x or even 26x zoom lens is obvious. Asking for more cameras to be installed will definitely result in non-stop investment as well as the consequential problems caused by adding more mounting poles and cables.

 

The performance of dome cameras has come to a new level while most of the technologies such as larger zoom and higher SNR used in gun cameras have been successfully transplanted into domes. The application for mini domes in the markets of urban security, traffic monitoring and environmental protection has more rooms to go then ever. Ever since the 30× Dome Camera made its debut in 2005, the models with larger zoom range have become the center of attention. Using mini dome cameras in place of heavy gun cameras for long distance surveillance is conceivably paving the way. Mikami set a good example this time at its constant effort in leading the trend. CH-PTC-301HG-P24's 35x lens realized the extension of surveillance capability to 1km.
