Eye Ball™ R1 & PDU Operational Capabilities
Q: What are the operating frequencies?
A: Video and audio are transmitted at 2.4GHz. Control of the Eye Ball™’s rotation, zoom and near-infrared are transmitted at 902-928 MHz.

Q: What is the range or distance supported by the system?
A: The systems supports distances of up 150 meters in outdoor – line of sight applications. In door ranges are dependent on type of constructions (wood, concrete, glass….). Typical in door ranges are up to 30 meters depending on construction type.

Q: What is the Eye Ball™’s field of view?
A: The Eye Ball™’s field of view is 55° horizontal and 41° vertical.

Q: What is the camera’s range?
A: The camera will capture video up to 23 meters away.

Q: What wavelength and distances are supported by the near-infrared?
A: The Eye Ball™ uses an 812 nm near-infrared LED array, illuminating a 8 meters area.

Q: How quickly can the Eye Ball™ present a 360° view of a room?
A: The Eye Ball™ rotates 4 RPM (revolutions per minute) providing a full 360° view in about 15 seconds.

Q: Can you stop the rotation?
A: Yes. The rotation is controlled by the user, from the PDU. The user can stop and even nudge the ball to obtain the best possible view.

Q: Can you change the direction of the rotation?
A: Yes. The direction is controlled by the user, from the PDU.

Q: Can the Eye Ball™ R1 pan and zoom?
A: Yes. The pan and zoom functions are both supported by the system. The pan function is performed by rotating the Eye Ball™; allowing the user to pan a full 360°. A 2:1 digital zoom is affords the user some additional flexibility to clear hallways or view large rooms.

Q: Is the system color or black & white?
A: The Eye Ball™ system is color. The video is presented on a 6.4” color screen having brightness and contrast adjustment controls. When the near-infrared LEDs are on, the video will be presented in Black & White.
