Communication Networks (30 ComNet) has introduced its second generation of digital fibre optic video and data transmitters and receivers. The FVT1031UTC and FVR1031UTC Series support up-the-coax protocols for use over multimode or single-mode optical fibre. According to the company, these new models are 10-bit, all-digital, single-fibre designs that offer outstanding video performance and provide RS-250C short-haul quality video.

According to Victor Milani, ComNet VP of Product Management, "Video with up-the-coax data capabilities fibre optic products are used in applications where camera PTZ control is required. Just about every camera manufacturer offers some model that requires PTZ control. We at ComNet test our products to work with 686 Pelco Coaxitron, 598 Panasonic Proteus and 311 Bosch Bylinx. These are PTZ products whose control data is transported with the video over a coaxial cable. The major advantage the ComNet FVTFVR1031UTC provides is exceptional video quality."

    New trials show Bluetooth and Wi-Fi signals can be reliably used for measuring travel times and at a lower cost than an ANPR system, but which is the better proposition depends on many factors. Measuring travel times has traditionally relied automatic number plate (or licence plate) recognition (ANPR/ALPR) cameras capturing the progress of vehicles travelling along a pre-defined route. Such systems also have the benefit of being able to count passing traffic and have become a vital tool in dealing with c
