Presenting a unique concept in security equipment, ADE’s Opti-Cam offers an integration of
CCTV, intruder and lighting control for today’s demanding applications.
The first of its kind, this simple to install, combined VHS video recorder, 8 camera control unit and
light switching system offers a low cost CCTV/security solution for domestic and commercial
applications.
Combined video, 8 camera and lighting control unit
A self-contained, flexible security solution that can be easily configured for any number of applications.
5 Operating modes
In/Out modes – provides customised event recording in either mode.
Lighting control mode – creates the illusion of occupancy when out.
Manual mode – enables the user to control and override the automatic settings.
Scan mode – scans all cameras for preset times.
Intelligent event recording
Only records events as they happen and does not record continuously, saving tape review time. An 8-hour tape could last for weeks.
Incorporates 32 programmable timer settings for each day of the week
Has the flexibility to suit individual family lifestyles or control sophisticated routine operations in commercial or industrial
environments.
Simple, on-screen programming
User friendly, simple interface that allows the user to easily reprogramme the system set-up when desired.
