One result of the tsunami which hit Japan in 2011 was that the ELMO MP50H and Toshiba IK-M51H lipstick camera series were discontinued leaving a big hole in the market. This standard Peerless Creations PC-15 system is a good replacement and upgrade for these cameras. It comprises a camera head, cable (3-30m long), optional Camera Control Unit (CCU), power adapter and accessories.
The compact 15mm diameter camera head has a 1/3″ standard definition 1-CMOS sensor and accepts M12 (S-mount) lenses rather than the rather more expensive originals. The camera connects to a separate or tethered output cable available in lengths from 3 metres up to 30 metres long. An optional Camera Control Unit (CCU) contains a built in DVR capable of capturing MP4 video and JPEG still images via a MicroSD slot accepting cards up to 64gb. The control unit also features analog PAL or NTSC video output and USB connector is used to communicate with the MicroSD card.
This 15mm diameter ‘lipstick’ camera system is designed and used in a very wide variety of industrial applications, inspection and surveillance applications.
