How To Choose A Mobile Surveillance Camera On A Telescopic Mast?

As we all know, there are riots all over the world. Therefore, we need a comprehensive monitoring solution when such incidents occur in the future. Any monitoring system needs to be at a certain height to monitor, and the telescopic mast provides a good condition for monitoring cameras. Height problem solved, so, what camera should we choose?

Pylon Camera

Static surveillance cameras don't allow you to track people on the ground for long periods of time. Even connecting multiple systems can leave you with big blind spots and get lost. So cameras that pan, tilt, and zoom should be at the top of your shopping list.

The camera should be able to be controlled in this way from remote areas and through the cloud. This allows those monitoring it to authorize it by allowing them to assist others at the scene or to record any incidents for later review. Today, cameras can also be operated using automatic motion-based tracking without personal supervision.

30x Optical Zoom

A high zoom level must be used to allow anyone to monitor the camera from a safe distance. Optical zoom, rather than digital zoom, also ensures that images remain sharp when enlarged.

If you need to view or capture details of faces or license plates, it's important to maintain the same level of detail when zooming in. With 4x zoom, you can capture personal ids at 100 feet. With 30x optical zoom, this goes even further.

1080p Resolution

With higher resolutions, you should be able to determine a very high level of quality in the scene. 1080p video gives you a raw enough level of detail to allow you to use the material for a variety of purposes.

Due to the high image accuracy of 1080p video, many interaction details can be easily determined. This includes facial expressions, mouth movements and the exchange of objects between hands. All of these interactions may help determine the exact nature and demeanor of the person you are monitoring.

Weight Below 20 Pounds

Since you have to set the camera up high to work, it's important that it be light enough for one person to deploy quickly. We recommend 20 pounds as the upper limit of this weight, as anything above this will hinder the installation process and test the limits of the telescopic mast. Anything over 20 pounds is also hard to ship. This prevents teams in the field from setting up multiple cameras in quick succession. Overall, keeping each camera under 20 pounds increases your flexibility and ability.

Bottom Mounting Preferred

Since the camera will be mounted on top of the high mast for maximum surveillance of an area, it should be possible to mount it from below. This will allow it to "sit" on top of the mast in a safe manner with no blind spots. Because many PTZ cameras are large, bulky and can only be mounted from the top, they are generally incompatible with the mast. Although, some smaller and lighter cameras have 1.5-inch NPT threaded caps, allowing them to mount to retractable or retractable masts.

For these top-mounted cameras, you usually have to find custom adapters for this purpose. RATT has a universal PTZ stand that can accommodate a traditional PTZ camera, although it does create a small blind spot.
