| About
this Image Monitoring Station: This station is located on top
of the Life Guard Hut at Jensen Beach, just north of the Holiday Inn
near Stuart, Fl in Martin County (central Florida on the east
coast). It consists of an Olympus SP500, 6 Mega Pixel digital camera
controlled by custom software running under Windows XP. In addition,
there is a Sony Block low light level, low noise video camera with integrated
18x optical zoom. Both cameras are placed inside an environmentally
protected housing on top of a precision pan/tilt unit made by Conway.
A water pump, reservoir and windshield wiper system clean the glass
under program control. The software controls many functions including
pan/tilt positioning, camera zoom, imaging stitching, and uploads images
and complete web pages to various ftp sites...all under automatically
and unattended. For more information, see Erdman
Video Systems. |
