Gone are the days when shaky, low quality images are the best you can expect from minicams. At the top end of the range our third generation technology utilizing custom built robotic Pan and Tilt heads, with full remote control; available in 4:3 single chip or now with the new true widescreen 16:9, 3-chip camera modules. These utilise robust and durable broadcast switchgear and functions. The Sony camera modules provide the best chip blocks available and are built into our systems giving the highest quality minicams available anywhere. You also get full 360 degree broadcast manoeuvrability (Pan and Tilt) along with full zoom, focus and iris control. Up to four cameras can be remotely controlled by a single operator.

The Pan and Tilt housings are custom built to our specifications and are the smallest available. Because of this we are able to build them into a wide variety of cameras hides for full covert projects. Camera hides we have built to date include speakers, televisions, microwave ovens and furniture. Really the possibilities are limitless as we develop new and innovative hides for each production.

At the other end of the scale our huge range of miniature covert cameras are built into everyday objects such as clothes, buildings, vehicles, luggage, artwork and toys. In these we use Sony, Pulnix, Matchstick and Toshiba camera heads in colour and black & white.
