K9-eye Digital
This second generation of the well-proven K9-eye system uses advanced COFDM digital radio transmission techniques to deliver greatly-enhanced performance compared to the earlier analogue technology (which is still available where appropriate).
The system comprises a miniature television camera, monochrome (FC1M) or colour (FC1C) and radio transmitter mounted on a lightweight head harness. There is a quick-release facility, allowing the harness to be worn at all times the dog is operational if required whilst the camera is attached only when needed. Rechargeable batteries are also contained in the camera housing, eliminating external power sources and connections.
To allow operation in darkness, lights are incorporated in the camera housing, and provide pictures in total darkness to a range of 5 -10 metres from the dog. White lights are used for the colour unit; infra-red for the monochrome unit, allowing covert operation.
An audio facility is also provided, allowing any sound or conversation in the vicinity of the dog to be recorded.
Pictures are viewed on a miniature, lightweight video recorder/monitor/receiver unit carried by the handler.
