Airborne Video Cameras
Entertainment • Safety • Security
Modular Design
Securaplane camera units fit multiple aircraft types resulting in
lower cost, higher reliability and easier maintenance.
- Aerodynamics
Securaplane's external cameras incorporate clean minimal drag shapes
plus proprietary features such as conformal faired windows to ensure
acoustically quiet and fuel-saving operation.
- Weight
Materials used in our cameras are selected to reduce the system weight
without sacrificing durability and airworthiness. Securaplane's airborne
video camera systems are more than 50% lighter than competitive systems.
- Installation
Securaplane camera components install with minimum structure and skin
penetration. Installation man-hours -as reported by a major aircraft
manufacturer - are 80% less than competitive systems. Electrically,
commercially available aircraft cable and standard aircraft connectors
are specified. No exotic connectors or special expensive cables are
required.
- Performance
Securaplane's core video processing and imaging technology is derived
from proven state-of-the art broadcast and industrial video components.
This is what allows Securaplane™ to offer high performance, lightweight
products. Competitive technology is derived from decade-old designs
that are typically larger and heavier and/or require a remote processing
unit and length-limited cables.
Typical
System:
Securaplane's
Airborne Video Camera system is use for applications such as flight
safety, security, taxi/ground maneuvering, and in-flight entertainment.
A typical system consists of a CAM-11 quad camera
unit, CMZ-01 zoom camera unit, CMX-01
vertical fin camera unit, and a VCU-05
video control unit for a total of six camera inputs.
The VCU-05 connects
the system to the aircraft power and the video distribution system.
Control of the
system can be accomplished via RS-485 data bus from the cabin video
control system or by keyline control from switch closure to ground.
Total installed
system weight - including wiring and structure - is less than 20 pounds.
