Security Camera

Case Study of Security/Surveillance Camera Lens Position Confirmation

Issue: Need to Know the Direction the Camera is Facing

Challenge

  • Cannot verify if the camera is at the specified position or not when the camera is moved
  • When the motor is not synchronized, it cannot be confirmed

Solution: PKP Series with Encoder Confirms the Position of the Camera With Feedback From the Encoder

NEMA 17  2-phase stepper motors with encoder
  • Surveillance camera that swivels along the θ-axis
  • Stepper motor is used for rotation of the part for pan mechanism

Specfic Application Example

Security Camera

Motor Position Detection is Possible

It is possible to monitor the present position and detect position error by looking at the difference between the detected value from the encoder and the command pulse.

 

Compact Encoder Contributes to Space Saving for Surveillance Camera

Since the encoder is pre-installed, no parts or space are required for assembly. In addition, the compact encoder does not take up space in the equipment.

When the frame size is 56.4 mm

Frame Size 56.4 mm Compact Encoder Saves Space

Compare When Encoder is Installed Externally


Adopts a Noise-Resistant Line Driver Output

The line driver output circuit format provides high reliability, excellent noise-resistance due to differential output, and a longer wiring distance compared to voltage output. As a result, the wiring of surveillance cameras can be carried out freely. Cables (2-phase/5-phase) are also available for convenient wiring.
