Fully Integrated, Computer-Controlled PositioningDirected Perception Model PTU D47

The PTU-D47 is a family of integrated computer-controlled pan-tilt units designed for intelligent positioning and control of camera, laser, antenna, and other payloads to 12 lbs. It is a fully integrated design with single weatherized connection for power, control, and camera/payload signals. Its compact size and light weight make it ideal for mast/pole mount, portable/tripod, and vehicle applications. Payloads can be side and/or top mounted. The PTU-D47 withstands high duty-cycles and offers long-life in harsh all-weather environments.

Key features include:

  • Positions any payload: IP cameras, antennas, lasers
  • Smooth, repeatable motion and rigid design provides steady images in windy environments
  • Powerful command set supports real-time detection and tracking applications: absolute angle, relative angle, velocity control, geo-pointing (lat/lon) with GPM option
  • Solid and vibration-tolerant for vehicle applications
  • Wide-range of pan speeds (< 0.01º/sec. to 300º/sec.)
  • Extremely precise positioning (0.01º) allows moving object positions to map coordinates accurately
  • Single connector for all video, control, power
  • Flexible payload mounting (top and/or side)
  • Integrated controller - no other electronics box required
  • Computer interface via RS-232/485 or Ethernet (option)
  • Fully sealed for outdoor applications (IP66)

Applications:Directed Perception PTU-D47

  • Perimeter surveillance
  • Automated antenna pointing
  • Vehicle camera systems
  • Laser ranging systems
  • Video detection & tracking
