Brother Launches Handheld Industrial Label Printer
With the PT-E110VP from Brother, you can complete the most common labelling
tasks quickly and easily.
The manufacturer said that not only does correct labelling play an important role
in compliance with BS 7671, it should also be considered best practice to leave behind
an installation with clear identification and notices such as cable wraps and labels.
The compact, handheld device is
designed with facilities managers and
maintenance staff in mind. It offers
straightforward label creation via an easy
to use QWERTY keyboard and LCD screen. It
also features easy to access templates for
cable wrap, cable flag and faceplate labels.
Users can create labels in various
colour combinations and widths and can
utilise dedicated functions and smar t
keys to make common labelling tasks
quick and easy.
Brother said the labels have been
tested in extreme conditions to make sure
they stick around for a long time and the
printers are supplied with a hard carry case
to keep the device safe on-site.
The PT-E110 comes with a three-year
warranty and includes an AC adapter, full-
length eight-metre flexi ID black on white
tape cassette.

D-Link Improves Omna App
D-Link says its Omna camera has received outstanding reviews across the board
since its launch earlier this year. Thanks to continuous development and updates to
the app, the company says, it is now even more impressive.
The Omna combines D-Link’s market leading IP surveillance technology with the
user-friendly accessibility of Apple HomeKit, which enables users to access the
Omna directly from their iOS device, via the Omna app with no additional hardware
required. What’s more, the motion detection feature means
users receive a notification the moment movement is
detected, making them alert instantaneously. The Omna
also has an array of advanced security features with
end-to-end encryption, and authentication between the
camera and iOS device.
Omna is derived from the Latin word ‘omnis’ meaning
all-encompassing. Most cameras offer a limited
130-degree lens, while D-Link’s unique 180-degree
solutions and de-warping technology allow users to
see just about everywhere and everything.
D-Link says the video bitrate continuously
adjusts to ensure optimal per formance given the
available bandwidth, while two-way audio enables
users to listen and speak using the camera’s built-
in microphone and speaker.
The night vision function on Omna can see up to
five metres in complete darkness. Motion detection
records video clips directly to a microSD card up
to 128Gb, with remote playback capabilities. It also
offers pre-event snapshot and recording, with more
flexibility on recording video locally to the camera
without impacting network or Internet bandwidth.
