Sample Video

Rugged Cams has a partner company that makes the Ruff-Ride case for this PTZ, then we assemble it with the Image Sensor with Wide Dynamic Range (WDR) , and our own  software that boosts the available light in low light situations.

The Ruff-Ride HD-SDI Mobile PTZ comes with a special Vibration Dampening Plate with 5 Heavy Duty Springs that deliver a smooth ride under severe jarring and engine or motor vibration conditions. Couple this with the Digital Image Stabilization (DIS) settings, and you have two ways to combat shaky footage. (Not to be confused with the Digital Noise Reduction setting, which only works well in Black & White mode for low light amplification).

Choose Between Two Types Of On-Board Lights

The Ruff-Ride HD Mobile PTZ carries it’s own lighting for lighting up the area in low light conditions. The Model with Infrared Lamps is commonly used where invisible IR lighting is needed, and is viewed by the camera in Black & White (Mono) mode. The White Light Model is used where visible light is desired and a Color picture is needed. Here are more of the lighting features:

• On-Board Lighting (Infrared Lamps or White Light Lamps Models Available)
• 390′ Infrared or White Light Range (120 Meters)
• High Beam & Low Beam Settings for both Lighting Models
• Model with Infrared Lights will automatically turn on Lamps in low light settings, and can be automatically switched from Low to High Beams depending on Camera Zoom distance
• Model with White Light Lamps controls the Lamps via a Preset setting and can be turned on or off at anytime – day or night

Since the Ruff-Ride HD Mobile PTZ is designed for Inspection purposes as well as Surveillance, we offer models with either type of lighting you will need, and let you control the Power Settings as well. (choose Infrared or White Light model when purchasing)
