2 Jan 2007 JVC's VN-C625U IP network dome cameras are integrated in a state-of-the-art deployable camera system that uses 3G mobile phone technology.  The camera systems are designed by ClearView Communications based in Chelmsford Essex, UK. 

Crime prevention officers, local authorities, developers and housing associations are currently using the system for a variety of applications including vandalism, fraud, theft, fly-tipping and anti-social behaviour.  The ability to rapidly deploy discrete video surveillance and recording equipment into known trouble spots is increasingly being seen as a cost-effective way of countering crime. 

"We chose the slim JVC VN-C625U camera for our deployable camera system mainly due to its size (the camera is just 120mm in diameter) ensuring that is inconspicuous.  Its Day/Night operation with on/off IR filter capabilities combined with Super-LoLux sensitivity ensures that it can be used in low light levels, especially during wintertime.  It has an excellent 360-degree endless rotation, 12x zoom and is PTZ controllable" explains Paul Main, Joint Managing Director at ClearView Communications. 

When the camera's in-built alarms are triggered, the system records and transmits pictures.  Images from the cameras are accessed using the mobile phone 3G network at 64kbps and can be viewed using a standard Internet browser. 

JVC's VN-C625U super-slim IP network dome camera will be on display alongside the range of network surveillance products on stand 039 at IIPSEC 2007.
