Moritex (www.moritex.com) has reported considerable interest in its popular PalmScope™ video capture device for security and surveillance applications.

Offering a more versatile digital solution for capture and storage of sequences of still images or video clips from a video source - several police forces are looking to replace traditional VCR's in the trunks of vehicles with dashboard mounted PalmScope. At the scene of crimes where CCTV footage has been recorded, direct transfer of VCR footage to PalmScope has saved many hours of going through tapes. Additionally due to its versatility, robustness, portability and high performance the PalmScope™ is widely used for surveillance as the video capture device is easily integrated with cameras to provide a powerful inspection, image capture and data archiving solution.

PalmScope™ is a unique product that captures still images or video clips onto a removable CompactFlash card. It is compatible with both PAL and NTSC, composite or S-video (optional) signals. A built-in 6.5" TFT LCD display allows you to preview the video before saving it to the memory card. Video clips are captured at full NTSC or PAL resolution, at 30 or 25 frames per second (fps) respectively, and stored in Motion-JPEG (MJPEG) compressed format, allowing approximately 3 minutes of video to be stored on a 128MB CompactFlash card. Still images are stored in a compressed JPEG format, and over 1000 images can be stored on a 128MB CompactFlash card. Storage capacity is limited only by the size of the CompactFlash card used, a 2GB card will hold many thousands of images or approximately 80 minutes of video.

PalmScope™ has been designed for ease-of-use and convenience. Captured images and video clips are automatically named with the date and a sequence label. Images can be organised with an overlay of up to 10 lines of text using an optional standard PC keyboard. The PalmScope™ includes a convenient thumbnail gallery feature with cataloguing functions to help in archiving and retrieving images. PalmScope™ includes a range of cataloguing functions help in archiving and retrieving them, including the ability to rename, delete and move or copy images between folders. An individual image may be selected for full size viewing. Alternatively images can be easily transferred to a PC where they can be displayed or processed by any suitable image editing software. PalmScope™ is simple to operate, using intuitive onscreen displays, and the keypad can be operated even when wearing gloves or protective clothing. For convenience the PalmScope™ can be switched for either left- or right-handed use and offers a choice of language for all on-screen display operations in English, Spanish, French, German and Italian.
