Japanese optics manufacturer 8146 Tamron has released two motorised high-power (36x) zoom lenses for C-mount box-type cameras, which it says assure 24-hour day-and-night surveillance in full-HD image quality for security applications. 

Both the M118ZG36X10IRPF and M118ZG36X10IRP lenses feature a long focal length of 10-360 mm for use in a wide range of applications that mandate day-and-night surveillance over a wide area. Their wide aperture of F/1.6 enables high-sensitivity image capture at large zoom ratios, assuring surveillance under dim and low light illumination. Both accommodate the 1/1.8-inch imagers widely adopted in the market and are equipped with a preset function for focus and zoom. In addition, the M118ZG36X10IRPF has a fog-removal feature.

Data derived from vehicles passing over in-ground sensors can be interpreted for vehicle classification (axle counts and spacing) and positive identification (especially when linked to image capture) applications as well as to derive individual axle and gross vehicle weight (GVW).

    The world’s ageing population requires more attention to be paid to the needs of older, and sometimes not that old, drivers – particularly when it comes to lighting. For instance the minimum amount of light a person needs to see doubles every decade after they are 25, so a 75-year old may need 32 times the illumination level as somebody a third of their age. It would seem logical that street lighting and car designers would consider their work from other road users’ point of view but empirical evidence appe
