New Products: October

Camera Pre-Packs
American Dynamics' LookOut Camera Pre-Packs combine two options in a single housing, which can be either surface or flush-mounted (the latter requiring only three screws). Fixed color camera options include a Night Saver-equipped model that automatically switches from color to monochrome for capturing images in extremely low light. A lens, mount, two bubble liners (one black and one white), and a choice of covert or low light performance-enhancing bubble also ship with the camera and housing.

Control Keyboard
American Dynamics' new MegaPower ControlCenter 1100 keyboard combines a full feature set with improved comfort and ease of use. Removable feet let users adjust the keyboard to three different angles. An LCD screen delivers high visibility with large, easy-to-read text. This keyboard operates MegaPower matrix switcher/controller systems as well as DVRs and VCRs, and can configure multiple satellite MegaPower 1024 matrix systems to function as one system with the new QuickSite feature. Sixty-four macro keys provide up to 1000 macros while smart card technology can transfer programming from one keyboard to another and provides three levels of security.

Plasma Monitors
The 42", 46" and 50" Plasma Monitors from American Dynamics display multiple cameras simultaneously in brilliant color. Bright screens, high resolution, an 800:1 contrast ratio and Digital Video Interface (DVI) inputs combine to render ultra-sharp images from Intellex digital video management systems or other advanced DVRs. Adjustable image shift eliminates screen burn-in. These shallow profile plasma monitors are less than 4 inches deep and include a base as well as optional wall mounts.
