Intelligent surveillance systems THE NEW COMMERCIAL AHD DVR FROM SENTINEL SYSTEMS IS SUITABLE FOR INSTALLATION IN ANY SIZED VEHICLE AND HAS THE ADDED BENEFIT OF LOCKABLE SD CARDS The system has up to 2TB hard disk storage space and can be connected to up to four of Sentinel’s cameras, including reversing, side and forward-facing cameras for an all-round view of the vehicle. “We recognised a definite need for surveillance systems in all vehicles, not just large commercial vehicles,” said director Allan Robertson. “This new technology allows the systems to be installed within cars and smaller vans at an extremely affordable price.” The new AHD mobile DVR system boasts eight channels of superior AHD quality and an additional four channels in IP high definition. With the increasing number of false claims and crash-for-cash incidents, recording footage from vehicle-mounted cameras using a Sentinel MDVR gives irrefutable evidence in the event of an incident. The AHD recorder houses an internal GPS system for location tracking as well as a built-in inertia sensor and LED indicators. The system is able to provide up to five days of recording at a lower cost than other suitable systems on the market. www.reversewithsafety.com Keeping fuel fresh TOO OFTEN THE SUPPLY OF TOP QUALITY FUEL CAN UNFORTUNATELY BE COMPROMISED BY POOR TANK HYGIENE Hytek’s fuel storage tank re-circulation/fuel conditioner kits prevent fuel becoming contaminated and can be fitted to data centre back-up generator tanks, hospital emergency generator tanks, or any installation where fuel must be stored ready for use at any time. Fitted on tanks worldwide, these kits are already well-proven. New to the range is the advanced fuel storage tank re-circulation/fuel conditioner kit (RKA). An advanced version of Hytek’s standard re-circulation kit (RK), the new unit was designed as a result of numerous requests from current kit customers who required some extra features on certain installations. Additional features include – a large flashing beacon, 90dB sounder and test button. Whilst there is a mute button to stop the sounder, the beacon continues to flash to alert you to the unit. There are also pump running/pump stop outputs (passive contacts) for connection to building management systems. A Hytek fuel management and tank re-circulation kit fitted at Terence Barker Tanks Sentinel Systems has advanced on its existing mobile DVR systems to produce a new, affordable compact recording unit for cars, vans and other commercial vehicles Due to modern engines and critical power situations, fuel filtration is becoming more important. Hytek already offers a 10-micron particle/water filter kit clear bowl assembly (FM.RK.F). However, as customers have also requested better filtration with larger contamination holding capacity filters, two new options are now available: Standard capacity – RKF2 – spin on particle/water kit 2-micron High capacity – RKF2H - spin on particle/water kit 2-micron for use on larger storage tanks where more fuel is being recirculated. A flow meter can be fitted to provide an ongoing total of fuel circulated.
