Many years of research and development have gone into making the finest tactical surveillance system available to extend the human senses of vision and hearing into tactical situations and at the same time protecting the operator. And that is SEARCHVIEW. The SEARCHVIEW is a highly mobile, single operator system for tactical surveillance. Audio and video components have been integrated to operate on a continuous basis in the demanding conditions of a tactical setting. The system consists of a miniature, high resolution, video camera; non-visible infrared illumination; and a sensitive microphone and speaker housed in the remotely controlled articulating camera head affixed to the end of a telescoping probe that can be inserted through a 1.75" (4.4cm) diameter opening.
The non-visible infrared illumination allows the operator to view high quality images as close as a few inches to a distance of over 30' (9m) in total darkness. Much longer viewing distances are achieved in daylight or low light situations. The operator views the LCD screen and listens through the noise attenuating headphones.
The integrated two-way communication system allows the operator to perform acoustical surveillance as well as direct communications. The microphone with variable gain amplification, can detect a whisper from across the room or breathing sounds from a distance of a few feet. The noise reducing headphones provide clear audio output under high noise conditions and are designed to be worn under protective head gear.
Articulation, illumination and audio are remotely controlled using digital interface rocker switches housed in the ergonomically designed pistol grip control handle. Audio, illumination, battery residual, and relative camera position are all continuously monitored and communicated to the operator via on screen graphic display.
The entire system consists of; the probe, video monitor, headphones with boom microphone, sun shield, lanyard, two batteries, battery charger, operations and maintenance manual, and carry/storage case. The components are stored in one Pelican®, foam lined, high impact plastic, water and dust tight, carrying case with wheels.
